20165	2001-10-05 12:44:00	Can any one help me how to overclock my P2 mmx233 computer so I can use XP os. The Mainboard is MS-6117 (ATX LX6) Chip set is Intel82440LXPCI. Is it possible or is it better to buy a new one instead? Thank you.	Guest (0)

The stated requirements for winXP are well bellow what you will need to actually be able to use it. To get good performance you will need > 600Mhz processor and 256MB ram. And then it will probably still feel like your still using your P2.	Guest (0)

Minimum requirement in the real world is probably round p3-6oo with 512mb of ram unless you enjoy waiting!! Go with Win2000 instead - less wizards to screw things up!!! I have now seen it running on 3 PC's and in my opinion its very bloated and those wizards are a right pain. Its pretty though so if you like pretty it probably going to be fine for you.	Guest (0)

As for WindowsXP, it will run fine as long as you have at least 128mb ram, a half-decent graphics card (tnt2 minimum), but a p3 processor (at least) is neccessary.	Guest (0)
