Re: XP great for old machines

T.C.,

Vista Basic will ship without the 3d interface, and the higher versions let
you turn it off. So that won't be a problem. Unfortunately it may not look
as nice as XP -- I'm hoping there's an XP color scheme.

But I'm sure you're right about memory. And it could require a DVD's worth
of disk space. Have you heard or read anything on how big it is?

With the price of PC-133 being very high these days, you could instead take
a K7 cpu and get a gig of pc3200 and a km266 or equivalent $40 board with
video, sound, and lan included, if you already had a large enough hard
drive.

Assuming that Vista with 3d turned off ran as well as XP.
