Q's About Old Hp And Win2kpro Upgrade


Recommended Posts

My Daughter has an old HP around 450Mhz with very little ram... (forgot to check how much)..

This thing is running WinME and is a total dog, plus her son keeps playing with it and messing it up and she has no clue about computers so it's always doing something weird..

I was thinking of just Totally Wiping the hard drive and put 2000 on it for her.. I'm wondering if 2000 will have the onboard video & sound drivers or will I have to download them from HP?...

I'll run Everest on it 1st to see what I need just in case....

Any opinions????.... I also have my old copy of Win98SE that I no longer use..

I'm really hoping she will buy a new one after christmas but I doubt it.. hahaha

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
