That's not true at all. You can easily verify that for
yourself.
A PII-400 using a 8MB video card and 256MB will run XP just fine,
and even play games that were current at the time such as quake.



Not true ^

I run XPsp2 on a PIII-600 with a 64MB Geforce400 and 384MB RAM and
it runs...but is real laggy. My son hated playing CS on that PC .
And god help you if you do an AV scan ... useless PC for 20
minutes. And that setup is with ~ 12 running processes and using
~70MB ram post boot.

Not true based on my opinion.

I have NEVER seen an XP machine running with 12 processes and only
70 megs of RAM directly after boot unless in safe mode....even then
the 70 megs RAM
is really pushing it. And a full AV scan on that would take way
more than 20 minutes...more like 2 hours.

That is totally BS.


I put an ~ for approx.

I just booted in....16 processes right after boot, 15 once the
winupdate goes away.
perhaps you don't know how to disable services.

Uh, yeah. That's the first thing I do when I install Window for
anyone.


82 MB used mem right after boot ... once again, you maybe can't
tweak an XP system.

A full AV scan on that PC takes 20 minutes monkey boy...its only a
20GB HD.

But, ya , idiot...you know my PC's better than me.

Why are you calling me monkeyboy and idiot ? Because you
underestimated the processes running by ~25% and the RAM usage by
~18%. Even 16 processes is FAR away from 12.


No...you said it was BS...it wasn't BS...it was an estimate.
I wasn't staring at the PC.
And my 15 is including taskmgr...so once I close that ...it's 14....my
"guess was 12"
My mem usage of 82 included 4 for taskmgr....so 78...my guess was 70.

See how close that is ( without you trying to make it exaggerated by
turning it into a %).

And taken into the context of the conversation...

The context had nothing to do with it. My reply was based on your
statements alone. FWIW, I don't think XP can run 'fine' on any PII
system. I've got Server2003 running on an Intel-based dual P3 450 mHz
system with 512Megs and a SCSI II HD, and no MS services running, like
AD, web server, or anything, it's mostly just a file server and runs a
dynamic IP updater...and it can barely do that.

it was about a poster
saying XP ran fine on a PII and 256M ram...if my tweaked down system
can barely run on a PIII 384M system...yet you chose to say MY
statement was BS.

So if you cull out my post...call it BS (I got no reason to BS, unlike
the anti-Vista morons) ... then I don't mind coming right back at ya.
Can't take it ?

Don't respond.

I've got no problem with you 'coming back', and saying you just booted it
up and this is what you saw...blah, blah, blah. If you've got opposing
info say it. Fine. I can take it.

But, I do take exception to being insulted...what were they....'perhaps
you don't know how to disable services','monkey boy','idiot', and 'Better
stick to flippen burgers'.......just because I don't believe something
someone says.

FWIW, my XPsp2 runs on a 1 Ghz Athlon w/512M RAM and the same video card
as yours, and it runs fairly well. I don't play any games, so I'm sure it
lacks in that. Well, newer games ,Unreal Tournament is installed an runs
adequately, but not up to Crysis requirements obviously.



Yeah...I shouldn't have insulted you .... but I'd been wrestling with trolls all day !
I apologise...and will try not to insult you again.

Can't say I definitely won't .

A Bills Fan ?
Didn't know the Bills still had fans since OJ left...lol
