Well I did it. I wiped the drive stuck in an extra 10 GB HDD, and a CD-ROM (that was one of the catches, no CD drive). It runs great!!!! Faster than my AMD--of course, my AMD has more stuff on it. This one just has the OS--for now. Thanks for everyone's opinions.

I've never had a single problem with it, and I've currently got it running on two desktops and two laptops. WIN 98 was really unreliable...I don't think I've crashed WIN XP more than a handful of times and those were minor compared to the "blue screen of death" with WIN 98.
Maybe I'm just lucky.
XP ROCKS THE WORLD
and, no, your not lucky, it's alot more stable than 95

Before I got my Centrino I had a P3 at 500 mhz, in fact my dad still has it, he is running Windows XP Pro with no problem, I just had Home on it when I had it. It works fine, no worries, go ahead and upgrade.

P4 for me
My friend runs a 900MHZ P3 with 346 (something like that) ram and a 60-80 GB HD. It runs slow but not choppy. I'd try to get a copy of Windows 2000, because ME sucks. they used to have it and it just stopped working. STICK WITH 98 or 2000. NO WAY ME-XP!!

Not sure about a P3, I used to run Windows XP on a P2 450mhz with no issues. I don't remember how much RAM I had on board though...I think at least 256MB.

Anyone running Windows XP on a Pentium 3?
I received a free computer from a friend today. It currently is running Windows 98 on a Pentium 3 800 MHz, 512 MB RAM, and a 20 GB HDD. Is anyone running XP on a P3? I'd like to know if it runs smooth or is choppy. Otherwise I'll install my old copy of Windows ME. Microsoft says the minimum is 300 MHz, so I think it should be fine. I just don't want to install it if it would be all slow and boggy.
Thanks.Tags: None
