Gateway E4200 Pentium III 9.55 GB / 7.33 FREE SPACE 547 MHz 256 mram WINDOWS XP SP2 CABLE MODEM will have to change to DIAL-UP MODEM ETHERNET Please, feel free to copy and insert what you think the maximum change can be. I will also want to run AOL's 9.0 VR and probably it's McAfee Security Suites which requires 500 MHz. Thanks!
a decent linux distro would breathe new life into that machine; short of that, nothing comes up. windows xp will always be unbearably slow on that.
how much ram does the mobo can deal with, if can deal with at least 1gig u can try xp and it would work for regular use since regular use measn watching youbt eoffice tools and internet acsses
Thread teleported to relevant forum. That spec is actually fine for XP, but you'd get more 'juice' out of it by using a Linux distro on there.. I use Mcafee Viruscan on all my Windows machines, some of which are P3 600's and one's even a Celeron 466 which takes forever to boot, but is only used for dialling into work - they're all more than quick/usable enough. 256MB Ram is crap for XP though, 512MB would be more than enough, though a linux distro (for instance 'TinyMe') would run great in 256MB
