Gagaman Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 I have four Compaq Armada laptops: P III 850Mhz with 256mb ram. Which is the best OS for them: WINXP pro or WIN98se.They will mainly be used for internet and educational programs. They should be able to connect easily to my lan (wireless).Please some advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Radfordin Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 They should run win xp without too many problems, though you may want to check there are XP drivers for all the hardware components. I've run XP on lower spec machines and whilst it isn't fast it is still stable and nearly always better than Win98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expertec Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 If you run XP, try disabling some of the extras and effects to make it go faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
