New Re: XP might be bad...
The only factor would be marginal hardware, 98 would be better on anything less than 128Mb RAM.

I've never tried XP on low hardware - what's the minimum practical? Comparable to 2k?

New XP is fine in 128MB
If you turn off the tellytubby interface doin's. It'll be satisfactory for simple web/email work.

For real work, bung a gig in the box :-)

Disclaimer: I have no less than 512MB in any machine at home ;)

There are features and services that are optional with XP, they can be disabled or turned off.

I ran XP Pro in 128M with a 700Mhz Celeron, it ran, but not as fast with a system with more RAM. I had to turn stuff off to get a performance boost.

People from Iowa are often kinda dumb, but their English isn't that bad, even though they come from Central America.
