Hey... I'm catching up.

[Atnas]

I'm upgrading to XP. Yes, on my same shitty machine. I need it to run a certain USB Flash drive I just bought. Meow. Do you think this is a smart move?

(I'm using a helluva lotta CD's for my files.)

Actaully, the real reason was that my internet gave out and no matter what I try I can't get it working. Ah well, I've been on a no-porn-all-church basis for the past... month. That's why my account has suffered from a bad fall in activity, I don't have my own computer to Zelaronize myself on.

What are the specs of the machine?

[Atnas]

Inspiron 3800

256 mb ram
9 gig hard drive
some RAGEXMOBILITY graphics card... It says 8m of memory, type: SDram

And other shitty shit shits not worth mentioning. Basically, it was good in 2000.

I'm looking forward to the bubbly wubbly interface =D

Okay, I forgot to mention it has no battery(it's a laptop) and the one 1.0 USB port is broken halfway, as a mouse works, but a game controller doesn't. I use a pcmcia card for two 2.0 high speed USB ports... Only problem is, I have 2 pcmcia ports...

You mean all this time you didn't have XP? Oh yeah! Those screenshots of your comp. in the RPG Maker forum! I remember now! You had like a billion things in your taskbar!

[Atnas]

I prefer 98 over Xp. XP prevents you from messing with your system, but... I need to change or it's 32(16 after mail-in-rebate!) dollar loss.

[llamallover2021]

Ooooooh... Aren't we all grown up using mail-in rebates and what not.

[Atnas]

They send you a box of candy too! Squeee!!!!:rofl:

[llamallover2021]

I take back what I said.

That wasnt even good in 95 :P

upgrade vista ultimate super transparent AOL+++ firefox edition


my friends, the sign of technological advancement isnt extra performance or innovate features, it's useless hardware accelerated windows

[Sovereign]

Don't forget to delete IE!

[Lenny]

I'd say you really need to upgrade the HDD first. The XP files take up a few gigs of space - so you'll only have about 6 left once you've installed it.

[Sovereign]

Moar ram first please.

[Lenny]

More of both... in fact, why bother upgrading and upgrading and upgrading the same thing?

It'll be much easier to just buy a new one - especially with so many things wrong with the Laptop. No?

[Dar_Win]

Wouldn't you prefer Windows 2000 over 98?

It's more stable.

[Atnas]

I'm getting a DESKTOP later this year. I just need something with internet between now and then. By the way, the second RAM port is broken and randomly restarts the laptop when occupied. I took all my important bits off the machine and am installing XP. I'll tell you how it turns out. =O The roflcopters are here!

[Atnas]

Okay =) XP installed, working like a treat!

[Willkillforfood]

Any time to get a pc I try and save up for 3 or 4 Lennies to place in it.

I'm being a real nut and replacing all the sounds and icons. With MMZ sounds and icons. OMG.
