If you have lots of ram it will still run on a p200. If memory serves me right anything bellow a p200 and it will not let you even install it.

What do you want to use them for? There are better operating systems for old hardware than anything made by Microsoft.

Any processor with a mathco processor can run XP, I believe. Sure, anything with a mathco processor can run any OS but the speed...well, lets just say it won't be fast :P

I have ran a 300mhz celeron with 64mb ram on XP fine.

Btw, those that may have issues with it being "slow" should read what I am about to say. Windows XP once again didn't turn on UDMA by default. If you have a fast drive, you should always turn on UDMA, it makes such a big difference... performance wise

Well, thanks for reading!

that would be mine I am certain

I have to re-format badly, but have been putting it off

I have installed/uninstalled so many things in the past year or so, that my machine now takes a 3-5 second piss break every time I double click something

opening an image, a browser, a new application, a folder, or anything .... does not matter

I have mostly got used to it now .. but every time somebody uses my machine, they remind me how fucked up it really is

one day soon I will reformat it, and have like a brand new PC for 3 weeks again !!

BTW ... this posessed box is an Athlon 650Mhz w/512MB RAM
