Celeron 400MHz upgrade win
My system is a Celeron 400 MHz with 128 MB running win98 se. Applications
are nothing more than hotmail, surfing and VCD. Playing VCD is acceptable. Did you think I can go for win2k/xp? Or the best I can have is Me? |

You should have at least a 800Mhz processor to run XP I recommend above 1 Gig Processor for Windows XP. |

Did you think I can go for win2k/xp? Win200, yes. Win XP, yes.. if you add more memory. 256MB is nice, as in adequate. 512MB is nicer, as in recommended. The fact it's a Celeron 400MHz shouldn't be a problem. TheOr the best I can have is Me? Don't touch Me with a bargepole. If you can't run NT/2K/XP then stick with 98. |

As others have said, either stick with what you have and add more memory if
need be/possible, or go to Win2k or XP. As for XP, it ran very well with a Celeron 766mhz and 768mb of pc100 memory. The system had 2 printers, a scanner, a zip drive, 2 cd-rw's and was very stable. I recommend going to XP. HTH, -- Curt. "Sender" wrote in message ... My system is a Celeron 400 MHz with 128 MB running win98 se. Applications are nothing more than hotmail, surfing and VCD.
