Ok, in a nut shell this is one of those will it work on my system...
Since i'm tired of the problems with 98se i am wondering how well it will run on my P3 Important Specs: P3-450MHz 96MB(some kind of PC133) RAM. Don't tell me i should get a bit more ram or any crap like that...just will it run smoothly? and how would games run? -------------------- Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy survival...

Hehe.... you can get XP to run on a 133 if you do it right
 Yes, it'll run. Smoothly? Hmm... it MIGHT, not sure though. As for games, nothing major. -------------------- The Freedom to Hack is Satisfaction. The Crime to Crack is Destruction. (? GTX5_Crusader)

nothing major...i think the most intense game i would have on there would be Half Life 1 with the HD pack....
I just want all those damn errors and such outa the way. -------------------- Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy survival...

Im sure it will run but you might realy think about getting some more ram the more the better lol I have some sticks of PC133 laying around one 128MB one and I think one 256MB... I dont have any PC's that use PC133 but I keep some around just in case lol

I think Half Life will run, but not with the HD packs.

Yea XP will run. I have a 333mhz and it runs XP smoothly. Mind you I did turn all the extra stuff down. However, running HL1 smoothly...I'm not sure. Mine didn't run CS very well.

yeah but his is like 40% faster then yours was hmm at least in terms of CPU speed lol I wish I had kept my old P3 733mhz I would have sent it to him
 I may just pack up a stick of that ram and mail it to him... I mean whats it cost to mail a peice of ram ? like 2-3 bucks ? lolEdit: Well this is your lucky day I was digging through my old parts and found 2 sticks of PC133 ram 256MB's each. I cant be sure that they will work for you as once you get over 128MB's with PC133 compatability drops like a mofo (I had an ASUS mobo so it was fine) if you want I can mail them This post has been edited by M$ Agent #2: Sep 1 2005, 04:44 PM -------------------- "I hate this place.

Ok, so i've been browsing around and found out i didn't tell you it worked, kinda choppy everynow and then, low RAM(to be expected), but over all everything runs smoothly.
