Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

Yes, fisher price XP does indeed suck. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

In mi experience w2k sp3 is the most stable of all MS OS.

If you have a machine that support w2k / XP, go for w2k.
If not, go for w98SE

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

I run W2k here and NEVER had any game NOT running on my PC. It's a great OS, the best Microsoft has ever released (except maybe XP, never tried it, but all the others http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif ).

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

Win XP does not 'SUCK'

Please explain to me how a 8 year old operating system is branded a 'non-suck.'

There are many articles out there that compare the 9x , nt and xp o/s's for gaming...

ANd XP wins.

In 6 years when what ever MS is running then...

You people will say it sucks and XP is good.

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

dumbluck: It sucks because it is a rent to rent OS. Buy it and renew it, hence the term "subscription". You don't ever really own it. Does that help? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Now if that doesn't suck, tesco samoa. I don't know what does. An in 6 years, I will still be running Win98SE or a second party OS system. And XP WILL STILL SUCK!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

tesco samoa: Do you by any chance work for MS??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

You rent XP in the US? You can buy it over here, but not rent it (at least as a home user).

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

Renting XP is news to me. Plus I find it very stable. More stable than win2k even.

Re: OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

The thing that sucks is the new license gimmick. You actually do own XP (as far as anyone "owns" any software you purchase, which is an argument in itself)* and you do not need to continually update subscription. You do need to register with Microsoft to "activate" XP and you are good to go, unless you make a serious upgrade to your system or perform a fresh new install.

*You technically do not own any software you purchase. When you buy software, you are buying the right to use said software in accordance with it's licensing agreement.

Especially if you consider the low price for it at the moment.
I installed for about 100 US $ 256MB RAM into my old PII 233MHz with 32 MB RAM originally. It is almost as I have a new computer.<hr /></blockquote>Sounds like my system configuration:PII 233 mhz with 64 + 256 MB RAM. but my 256 extra RAM was only 35,- $ http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I've only got limited experience with XP, I worked on a couple of systems (not my own) with XP for maybe three weeks in total (Pentium IV) , and I absolutely loath it. both systems I used it on crashed frequently, and after a near fatal crash I couldn't acces my own files anymore because it didn't want to recognize my username (and I did NOT forget the password), and other usernames didn't have acces to those files... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif that's when I gave up...
