whats the slowest machine you know running XP
 

what is the slowest machine you know running on XP just courious it says 400mhz on box anyone got it running on slower P2s or celerons just courious to what will actually run.

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.

ok i formatted 3 hard drives with xp had a problem with a board got plenty more here so will just plug em in i wasnt gonna sit and wait for old pcs to format them for me so did the hard drives on p4 and will swappem around. well got a tone of ram around so will juice em up and see how they go

i've got it running on some 900mhz celerons

mine is so slow for some reason. P4 2.2 and i seem to remember my 486 running win 95 with 16MB ram being slightly faster..

the slowest machine i have with xp is my notebook which p3-650 250mb ram. tho it's not slow at all

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

p2-333

p2 233

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 :mad:

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

maybe your hard drive is almost full.
