yeah but to run XP you need 266mhz and 64mb of ram dont ya?

there is a difference between getting it to boot and getting it to work well. and my laptop is 400mhz, im looking to getting a new one soon though.

8Mhz and 18MB of RAM:

Wow...

But still, that probably took 30 minutes to boot, and you can't even open the internet with 8Mhz...

well it did take 30 minutes, and the net did work. but its beside the point. im not going to install Vista on a 400mhz laptop.

LOL I think I am going to get my old 486 out of the basement and install vista on that and see what happens

 

[zmatt]

umm it wont work i smy bet. the site the major linked says that XP installer wont work on a 486. so i doubt Vista will.

[mikee]

no that only has 2mb ram, xp requires 20mb and vista prolly requires 32mb ram

 

[talldude123]

its a joke mikee. that computer is a 386 so there is now way it could run either. the 386 is a 16bit cpu, so on the lowest levels it isnt capable of running it.
