Re: [RT] Interesting info about XP

Trading Reference Links

I haven't gone to the link but I know that Win 2000 Pro is the first 
windows system that I feel is actually a decent OS.  It's based on NT 
technology and it is nearly crash free and reliable.  As to hardware, I 
find an excuse to buy new machines every two years.  I buy all my machines 
without operating systems and load my own.  (I run linux on some 
boxes).  Today, you need a processor in the 2ghz range, at least 256mb mem, 
a video card with *its own memory* and plenty of it, an ethernet card and a 
few other enhancements.  Boxes are cheap as hell ... memory is nearly free 
and 1gb wouldn't be too much if your mother board will handle it.  Old 
people can have advantages but old computers, (2 years) are a real 
problem.  They got cheap but they get outdated fast ref new programs and 
systems.
