I'm fixing a Pentium 4 1.4GHz, with only 128 MB RAM. Unfortunately, I
cannot upgrade the RAM at this point, because the motherboard requires
RIMM sticks. RIMM sticks are no longer available in the country I
live in.
Would I be better off installing Windows XP or Windows ME on a system
with only 128MB RAM? I have already installed WinXP on this thing...
and the hard drive just keeps grinding and grinding and grinding.
It's insane. Sometimes, it would take 5 or 10 seconds to load
something as simple as winamp. And occasionally, I even get a 2
second pause after double clicking an mp3 song (with winamp already
active in the background). I used WinME on my old Celeron 500MHz
96RAM system in 1998, and it was never THIS bad. Will changing my
current 128MB RAM computer to WinME help *significantly* with the
memory management problems I'm experiencing?
Approximately how long will WinME stay afloat, before Microsoft
abandons it like Win95 and Win98?
And finally...
Where can I get the necessary files to create a start-up disk for
installing WinME?
