i could not find group for win 2000 so i'm posting my question here.
i'm currently running win 2k but getting outdated w/ new apps. want to install new hdd and put xp on it so i can use either. -can i have two separate hdd's w/ diff os's? -hardware is about 6 yrs old, any potential problems w/ xp running? -is it easier to buy a new, separate pc w/ xp on it instead? thx. |

Hmm - recommended RAM is likely to b 512 MB - less than that, and XP slows down. at the minimum 128MB-256MB it's likely to crawl with an AV running. -is it easier to buy a new, separate pc w/ xp on it instead? not easier - but certainly better, as many new PC's (from the larger OEM;s) will come with a 'free' upgrade offer to Win 7so you'll be ahead of the game, rather than behind it. thx. |
