Bambi Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I installed it to my MAME cabinet & it works fast. Keeps saying my copy isn't genuine every minute too.
Lucandrake Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Thanks guys, I'm going to go ahead and d/l it and try it out then. If anything I can always re-install windows. Hear from me in a bit .

ken_cinder Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 1.2GB of memory? That's disgusting, XP Pro with all the bells and whistles and my filemanager running with firefox open and antivirus etc etc, is using 590MB of RAM here. Hell my PEAK usage was under 800MB, and that was after running MAME! uTorrent running also.

Hell my PEAK usage was under 800MB, and that was after running MAME! I have 4gb of ram... it really isn't that big of a deal for me. ^^
ken_cinder Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 That doesn't matter. That's like saying "I'm a millionaire, so I don't care that gas costs $5 a gallon/$2 a litre". Attached a screenshot as proof in previous post.
gavin19 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 It does seem a bit much. Typically XP uses 400MB, and when I used Vista Ultimate it was more like 700MB. I read that MS said the minimum requirements were the same as Vista, ie. 1GHz processor/1 GB RAM/15GB HDD space. I'm due to get a new computer soon and I thought 2GB would have been ok, but I think I'll go with 4GB now to be safe. I guess I'm too used to this slimline, lightweight OS. Looks like I'll just have to put up with the bloat like everyone else
Elazul Yagami Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 once xp dies.i'm going the path of linux permanently.
Bobdrakke Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Just wait for a tweaked ver just like last xp / tiny xp, or try 2003/8 or even 64bit XP(vista drivers seem to work from internet postings same for 2k8).

Gryph Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 Very strange. I haven't heard of that happening elsewhere.
