I haven't really had a chance to play around with it too much (installed it at 1am with a fuzzy head!), but everything seems fast..
To be honest it seems to be running a tad slower than my previous ME install (when performing basic Desktop functions), i.e. Refreshing windows is not as quick as it was before... But it was STUPIDLY quick before!! >From what I've seen so far, you'd probably find it worth the agro to upgrade your faster machine, it shouldn't have any problem with it.. Nick.. p.s. One strange thing I noticed when Upgrading was that all the way through it was going on about how it would Backup the old version of windows and I could restore it easily etc... If it has backed it up then I've got no idea where it is! So beware! Just something else to bare in mind! -----Original Message----- From: Turbo Hz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 10 January 2002 10:53 To: Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Moving to XP How is the performance increase compared to win98? Just curious... anyone? I tried XP on my old system (AMD 550) and the system was crawling... (compared to the previous win98 install), even disabling all graphic eyecandy. My production PC is an Athlon 1400.. with win98 SE installed. Do you think I can expect a performance increase if I install XP? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Lankester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 11:46 AM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Moving to XP > I actually installed XP last night..
