I have a 98 computer and it is kind of slow. Will an upgrade to XP help? I
know that XP CLAIMS to make a computer faster, but will it work? -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums....mance/200706/1 |

No, it will make it even slower! If the computer is of Windows 98 era
it will probably run like a turtle if you try to run XP on it! John vista via WindowsKB.com wrote: I have a 98 computer and it is kind of slow. Will an upgrade to XP help? I know that XP CLAIMS to make a computer faster, but will it work? |

Well, I had another computer that was 98 and I installed 2000, then XP and it
seemed to be ok. John John wrote: No, it will make it even slower! If the computer is of Windows 98 era it will probably run like a turtle if you try to run XP on it!

Every successive version of Windows needs a bigger, faster and better
computer to run as quickly as it's predecessor. If your computer is sluggish and slow running Windows 98 it will not be faster running XP, it will be slower because the system requirements for XP are higher than for Windows 98. The difference might not be as pronounced between Windows 2000 and Windows 98 because those two operating systems were released relatively closely to each other date wise.

There's no decent way to answer that question without knowing how fast your
system is and how much RAM it has. Should be able to find those figures in System Properties. (Right-click My Computer, then Properties.) -- Gary S.

Are you talking 98 or 98 SE Computer? In any case, you can't have more
than 1 GB of memory total, including Graphics, if you need to access Safe Mode in the future. You can run Windows 98 SE with an Intel Pentium D Processor (Duo Processor), as long as the total memory does not exceed 1 GB of Phyiscal Ram installed. -- thecreator "vista via WindowsKB.com" u33001@uwe wrote in message news:746e93e8a9eff@uwe...
