On my 500 MHz AMD K-6 and 64 meg of memory I could barely get XP Pro to run!
And adding another 64meg of ram did little to improve things.
Windows 98SE and Windows 2000 ran o.k. but nothing to cheer about. They both
showed a marked increase in performance when I doubled ram, however , MDK 8
ran fine on 64 megs and showed about a 4 fold increase in performance when I doubled the ram.
(I was not able to test MDK 9 as I have sold the machine)
And to make everything even, I reformatted and started fresh when installing the extra ram.
(I thimks I have way too much time on my hands)
Just goes to show that almost every computer is an entity unto itself.
What works for me may not work for you and vice versa.....................
or could we just have a different definition of what acceptable performance is?
