August 24, 200619 yr Well my Uncle bought a computer for 36 dollars (He's a cheapskate) and it has gay stuff in it: ~ 350 MHz ~ 64 MB (I put in 64 more to make it 128) ~ 8 mb Video Card ~ 4 Gb Hard Drive Well I was wondering if you could work xp on this?
August 24, 200619 yr lol, no. Why waste 36$ on something like that instead of saving it for something....better Current Goals80/80 Fletching60/75 Woodcutting97/100 Combat
August 24, 200619 yr LOL 350 MHz with 128 MB RAM? No you can;t work on XP, either you'll can't install or it'll often hang, running in very slow speed. You can't install XP with such a lousy pc. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/1020
August 24, 200619 yr blast i think there is no reason to flame someones buy, he could upgrade it jus not the ram, but theres nothing wrong with good ol 98!
August 24, 200619 yr i woudl try ubuntu.. its small and might work better for you... The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows!
August 24, 200619 yr blast i think there is no reason to flame someones buy, he could upgrade it jus not the ram, but theres nothing wrong with good ol 98! Other then the fact that Microsoft no longer supports it and 48 known vulnerabilities still exist ? I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear
August 25, 200619 yr Yes XP will install on it. I've seen XP on a 200Mhz processor with 64Mb of RAM with a little tweaking to make it run comfortably. The minimum hardware requirements for Windows XP Professional include: ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended) ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended) ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse or some other compatible pointing device ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher resolution ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Sound card ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Speakers or headphones
August 25, 200619 yr It'll run, but VERY SLOWLY. I had trouble with a 2.4ghz celeron and 128mb RAM.. ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
August 25, 200619 yr Author blast i think there is no reason to flame someones buy, he could upgrade it jus not the ram, but theres nothing wrong with good ol 98! Not my buy...Like I said it is my uncles...My comp: ~ 1 Ghz ~ 512 Mb Ram ~ 128 Mb Vid Card ~ 120 Gb Hard Drive I know they aren't much but it is all fine for me
August 27, 200619 yr It'll run, but VERY SLOWLY. I had trouble with a 2.4ghz celeron and 128mb RAM.. ram was your problem.. CPU was more then enough.. but there is not enough ram so it was probabbly using the HD alot get 1 gig minimum 2 gigs for best The following statement is true.

August 27, 200619 yr from my experiences, celeron SUCK. ive never had luck with them lol Current Goals80/80 Fletching60/75 Woodcutting97/100 Combat

I was comparing the amount of RAM with runedrune900's computer. :) ==================================Retired tip.it moderator.Teaching and inspiring.
August 28, 200619 yr That computer is auful. You will never be able to run windows XP on that thing, Even if you did install it you wont have enough space to install anything else. :wall: 99 Woodcutting goal: Complete! :D
August 28, 200619 yr i woudl try ubuntu.. its small and might work better for you... You're on the right track there. That computer has pretty much the same specs as mine and I'm comfortably running vector linux on it. (Ubuntu killed it outright) I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

(Ubuntu killed it outright) I was gonna try using ubuntu on my computer till my 200 giger started to die (seems to be ok now but nothing critical is on there now) So i have no HD space to use and i might try the live version for now The following statement is true.

August 29, 200619 yr from my experiences, celeron SUCK. ive never had luck with them lol I'm quoting this from someone else, I wish I thought of it: "Celerons are exactly the same as Pentiums, they're just made of celery." So I don't see what you problem's you've had if they're bascially the same. :mrgreen:

September 1, 200619 yr There's this one AMD processor on http://www.newegg.com that's only $76(sorry, don't remember name), but it's clocked at 2.0Ghz, making it better than the entire computer combined. :D Get a suitable motherboard, 512 RAM, and you'll be fine. Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug
September 6, 200619 yr Idiots, when you know what you're all talking about you can come back and argue. He asked if it'll run XP, it will. Props to username388 for the minimum specs. I'd recommend Windows 98 though. The problem with XP is it's memory hungry. You'd also need to optimize it, so it'd probably not even look like XP if you were running it. Ubuntu, would probably run too. But it'd be mighty slow unless you knew how to optimize it. First choice OS: Windows 98. Second: Windows 2000. Third: XP. Never in a million years: ME. Notoriously Trollish.
September 8, 200619 yr Not Windows 98. Personally I'd go the Linux route, but that's just me. Windows 98 is unsupported and old. I'd use 2000 if you really want Windows. If he has another computer, you could turn this into a nice little firewall for him. Check out Smoothwall if you're interested.

Yeah Windows 2000 although my second choice, wouldn't be as practical for home use. As it's a business operating system. Notoriously Trollish.
