your system is a bit on the marginal side for XP but it should work ok I would disable all active desktop items and set the system for best performance. I have just upgraded an old emachine that has a 400 mhz celeron, 96 meg of ram and a 4.3 gig hard drive on board video and sound and the system works great and is very stable, just don't expect a speed daemon.
I would like to know if I can upgrade to XP? Or should I upgrade to Windows 2000? Or any other suggestions? I am currently in school and taking office programs , like Excel 2000 and powerpoint, etc, and would like to be able to have a system that will support these programs at home so I can study at home too. I have supplied my system information. Thank you so much for your help!! I am a newbie and have no clue!!
