I'd have to agree on this part. I didn't even know you could put XP
on a machine with such little ram, especially when M$'s requirements
are 128 MB at least. And where I work, we even have computers with
512 MB or ram running XP Pro, and it can crawl sometimes when running
multiple apps. As

Hmm. On the other hand, XP is the desktop and everything else. There's

And this is even AFTER system/software updates.
I don't think boot or load time is a fair comparison.

Hi all
Can I please state for the record that I am a complete Linux supporter. I
have been with Mandrake since version 6 and although having left the arena,

Funny thing,
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
