I would expect the 64-bit OS would run faster, but then I don't know if Windows works the same way as Linux.

That's what I figured, also considering it would be an XP installation, it would run faster than Vista ever could...

No, do NOT get XP 64-bit, it's nowhere near as compatible as 64-bit Vista. For drivers and programs, it's practically useless.

I'm only running 2 gigs of RAM right now and can't really see a difference. I suspect when I add a few gigs I may see the benefits.

well i think i'll stick with xp 32bit then... as i can't stand how vista takes up the harddrive...

My current desktop on Vista (bit cluttered and unorganized, but i'm switching back to xp once i finish the nLite intergration)

I hate desktop icons, and i hate the 'start/programs' bar almost as much (but only because it balloons out of control). What i do is create a folder in the quick launch bar and put all the icons in there. So to run things i just click on quick launch icon, run the relevant program then close the quick launch folder. As Gordon Ramseys says, 'Done'.

Gordon Ramsey also says a lot of other things. Rude things.. :P

Kind of like you creaky, I have a shortcut folder called 'games' since that's what most of my icons are.

They both work well enough. Of course it cost me half as much for a much better computer, which incidentally also happened to have MacOSX Leopard Installed(never used it though, lol).

Of course I sold that computer and now I use a lowly celeron D, in which making a DVD takes like three hours lol.

a pic of my TinyMe machine (Quad boot)
http://i.my.afterdawn.com/original/18191.jpg

in fact here's a post from another thread while i'm at it..

This is a stock desktop pic from my Dell quad-boot Linux machine (XP with 3 similar linuxes ie TinyMe test release 7, Mandriva 2008.0 and MiniMe 2008); pic is from the 'TinyMe' boot-up. Note the conky system monitor, i've tweaked it to correctly show both cores.

Core 2 Duo 2.13 with 4GB RAM, 160GB SATA-II drive, internal DVD-Rom and 3 USB2.0 attached opticals - my trusty 5yr old LG 4480B and a couple Benq DW1650's. No need for a graphics card as the onboard graphics can easily manage my preferred resolution of 1440x900. Still using the onboard sound with Logitech X-230's.




I tried upgrading TinyMe to the recently released 2008.0 version and also Mandriva to the new 2008.1 but my linux skills are a tad rusty and haven't got much spare time lately so for now i've put TinyMe test release 7 back on and Mandriva can keep. There's problems with the TinyMe ISO's out there from what i've been reading so i'll wait 'til they've ironed out all the problems (or just stick with Test release 7 as it's stable enough).
