BEERSHZ Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 would it be better to wipe vista and put xp on then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyB Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I thnik XP was RAM heavy aswell mate, just buy some new RAM, 2GB is the norm nowadays, and they aint that expensive, get DDR if its supported on your system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEERSHZ Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 so might be better to return them then and go for better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caliAl Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 You need at least 2gig of ram + you might want to run msconfig and disable any unwanted pre-loaded programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
