There's no way I'd bother running W7 on a machine of that age in lieu of XP as anything other than a brief exercise.
W7 offers nothing (IMHO) when installed on such limited hardware that you can't get with more stability and reliability in a clean install of XP-Pro with SP3.

I'm not sure how to categorize W7 vs. XP; on some older machines it seemed rather worse and on some OK. But you can live with it, is my guess. --STeve Andre' _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad _____ No virus found in this message.
