hi kieth i had windows xppro on a 500-4.8hdd 128 mg of ram. and it did the job fine. sure it was slower then but those days i wasnt looking for speed. and as well i wasent a gamer. most gamers want speed that is why they buy these big rigs. i used to get jived at techtv for my sys being to small. but i got along fine i know some who turn off the scanner. ect to get more speed but now i know a little bit more i increased my compt components good luck marty

yes thanks guys pete yes one of them was so old when you went to the bios it just showed 3 selection boxes with the options.i think 4 in each . but i took out some of the compoents and used them in the other . i also got his eddo ram . and ive benn offered bit of money so i think ile get the buyer to donate the money to those kids. in the older compt the ram is held in by wire springs yes pete this one is a p166 and the other is a p133. geez i had a headache trying to sort out the lead lines . there arnt any names on the plugs .

ok chappy ive just reverted one of these compt back to 32bit as the recovery console isnt compatabe to 64bit i tried installing the i386 folder on the 64bit but it keeps giving me an error notice. im now waiting for your tutorial on installing the recovery console via slipstreamming and please make it easy as you can i just installed the windows support tools and i had to print it out and get a friend to read it to me word for word. i presum it is transferred from your hdd to a cd. so i have some Queries for you later god why did i take up trying to use a compt it is never ending. thanks

yes i agree with steve, it would be dangerous to delete things. if you dont know what they are . and sixty of them is quite a few to sift through. a lot of my saved programs i delete from there . but i do it through safe mode. yes take steves advice and be care ful in there marty
