it is strange. my old Pc had 256 mb Ram. with windows xp and never got any problems....and overcharging my PC with a game that required 512mb ram... now, hearing that an XP lite is using 1Gb ram, is weird...... |
I think we are having a misunderstanding here (as per usual
). What I was saying is I have only put 1gb of ram in my pc. what i wasn't saying is that my xplite NEEDS or USES ALL of the 1gb of ram.
Most people who buy a new pc that has Vista installed and only 1gb of ram will find it a bit on the slow side if they start using several applications at once.

Installing XP is easy enough, but you suddenly realise how many programs you have installed over the weeks/months/years. Also finding all the necessary drivers takes time. It's all do-able because XP is so known and loved, but it takes AGES! |
Thanks for that info. I think I'll do it when I've got somebody with me to oversee what I do, 'cos I'm no 'techy'

The main problem I've come up against is that a lot of manufacturers (bearing in mind that your computer is made of bits from lots of makers) have started to give up testing and supporting XP in favour of Vista. I've had to scour dozens of forums (including Portuguese and German 
) to track down answers to driver problems, but I've done it all now bar 1 RAID driver which I don't need.
If anyone wants to install XP on an Acer Aspire 5920G, then I will gladly tell you what you need to install, and save you a days work!

I allready partitioned .....C
called it Vista and Srinked 39'Gb for G, wich is called XP,now....
the only thing, is that, when I boot from CD(xp installation cd), XP cannot detect any diskdrive
checked on Bios, to enable/disable Sata
can't acces that option neither.....
so whatever I want(dual windows or overwrite XP), it doesn't alowes me.....
and the nasty thing: checked on Microsoft:
FAQ and the anser:" e-mail, or phone our advisers"

good morning!
got a big pain somwhere behind with this laptop 
)
reformated disk drive...
to the factrory's settings.....
still, can't install XP
and the funny nasty thing:
I tried to do a recovery and reinstall Vista..
the only "little" problem is that the product key that is on the back of the laptop, it isn't the right one...
so, brand new laptop, bought in november,and is useless little shit.....
did the recovery to the factory's settings...
using just internet explorer now....
got 3Gb Ram,2Gh processor......
and my CPU ussage is 47%

My solution: Linux.
It's a free operating system based on Unix and you should be able to find a easy-to-install version by searching the internet. It can be capable of most standard PC tasks except running Windows games.

Yes,dear linux, Mac is also another solution. Or...everyone should of insisted on XP when buying their new LT or PC as XP was still available until 09 Jan '09....
....of course now vista is bieng binned and a newer version of XP is coming, and effectively is now available.Though in reality will be here for christmas.
I detest lol, but in the wake of VistaUsers;101101101...just l in lo will understand as they say.

I love suse, liked mandrake when I tried a few years back and I like ubuntu too. ATM I just have slax on my usb drive - got into trouble at the library for 'hacking' into their computer with that.
If you are desperate to use windows programs there is always wine, which is ok for some things.
