Hey... I'm catching up.
 

I'm upgrading to XP. Yes, on my same shitty machine. I need it to run a certain USB Flash drive I just bought. Meow. Do you think this is a smart move?

(I'm using a helluva lotta CD's for my files.)

Actaully, the real reason was that my internet gave out and no matter what I try I can't get it working. Ah well, I've been on a no-porn-all-church basis for the past... month. That's why my account has suffered from a bad fall in activity, I don't have my own computer to Zelaronize myself on.

What are the specs of the machine?

Inspiron 3800

256 mb ram
9 gig hard drive
some RAGEXMOBILITY graphics card... It says 8m of memory, type: SDram

And other shitty shit shits not worth mentioning. Basically, it was good in 2000.

I'm looking forward to the bubbly wubbly interface =D

Edit:

Okay, I forgot to mention it has no battery(it's a laptop) and the one 1.0 USB port is broken halfway, as a mouse works, but a game controller doesn't. I use a pcmcia card for two 2.0 high speed USB ports... Only problem is, I have 2 pcmcia ports...

You mean all this time you didn't have XP? Oh yeah! Those screenshots of your comp. in the RPG Maker forum! I remember now! You had like a billion things in your taskbar!

I prefer 98 over Xp. XP prevents you from messing with your system, but... I need to change or it's 32(16 after mail-in-rebate!) dollar loss.

Ooooooh... Aren't we all grown up using mail-in rebates and what not.

They send you a box of candy too! Squeee!!!!:rofl:

I take back what I said.

That wasnt even good in 95 :P

upgrade vista ultimate super transparent AOL+++ firefox edition


my friends, the sign of technological advancement isnt extra performance or innovate features, it's useless hardware accelerated windows

Don't forget to delete IE!

I'd say you really need to upgrade the HDD first. The XP files take up a few gigs of space - so you'll only have about 6 left once you've installed it.

Moar ram first please.

More of both... in fact, why bother upgrading and upgrading and upgrading the same thing?

It'll be much easier to just buy a new one - especially with so many things wrong with the Laptop. No?

Wouldn't you prefer Windows 2000 over 98?

It's more stable.

I'm getting a DESKTOP later this year. I just need something with internet between now and then. By the way, the second RAM port is broken and randomly restarts the laptop when occupied. I took all my important bits off the machine and am installing XP. I'll tell you how it turns out. =O The roflcopters are here!

Okay =) XP installed, working like a treat!

Any time to get a pc I try and save up for 3 or 4 Lennies to place in it.

I'm being a real nut and replacing all the sounds and icons. With MMZ sounds and icons. OMG.
