Take a look at this video I don't know if it's fake or not

who cares, the performance in vista sucks without dual-core anyway

Agreed, so what , there won’t be any productivity here.

It's dual celerons anyway.

aslong as it has all the instruction sets needed there is no reason why it cant work.

Well that takes it past the minimum spec then...

Point is if this guy can get it running on that there must be a lot of idiots around if they have issues running on something like an Intel Dualcore or better.

I was running Ubuntu 7.10 on a p3 450 today, it was surprisingly good!

Saw a video a while back (might have been Tom's Hardware) where they had XP running on a box with something like 16 megs of ram and a proc that was underclocked to something silly like 8 MHz (can't remember the exact figures). unsurprisingly, it took about 45 minutes to boot

I remember thinking at the time... "those guys are really bored"....

Because cpu speed means everything when it comes to software performance.....

Oh course not but the hardware on that PC must be around 7 years old or more but I don't see blue screens and driver issues.

I'm guessin
G are you one of those that have had Vista issues?

bledd · 6 Mar 2008 at 09:09

so if i've got a driver problem with vista, that makes me an 'idiot'

pld.

XP ran happily on my P2 333MHz when I installed it ages back. The only thing that let it down really was the amount of memory I had.

Depends entirely upon what interests you....
