I'm currently running on Win2000 Pro on my overclocked L100CT. I am reluctant to upgrade to WinXP because I heard its a memory hog and CPU power hog. How you feel the XP running on your L110 when you open menus and load something like MS Office? As far as hibernation goes, leave 100mb or so at the end of your current partition and format the rest of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Derby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Libretto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 3:32 PM Subject: [LIB] Re: Windows XP - Am I the first > Date: Fri, 28 Dec 2001 19:54:23 -0000 > From: "George Derby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Windows XP - Am I the first > > Just to let you know that I have successfully installed XP in a Libretto > 110CT - no problems at all - a lot faster than Windows 98 and a lovely > desktop.
