Guest triplex Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 i just got an athlon 1.4 running on asus a7v266 with 512 ddr ram and it runs perfect on win98. make sure you buy a decent cpu FAN. you dont want your 1.4ghz gem fried up Quote
Guest mkay11...... Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 yeah got a good fan and an aliminium case for the cooling of the chip... case wasn't cheap let me tell you... Quote
Guest triplex Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 mine too. it is a 300WATT one not a usual 250.. Quote
Guest akindo Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Yes, but you RARELY need the extra 50 watts. Quote
Guest Zhoro Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 Win2K and XP are infinitely more stable than the 9x line, but unfortunately are still not supported by many crucial applications. Logic, for example, introduces Win2K/XP support in V. 5 in January. Quote
Guest 'CiD Posted October 16, 2001 Posted October 16, 2001 I thought you could run any win 9x program with XP? It's got a nice function where you can select which system you want to run it as, in proporties. I just bought a new comp as well and it had XP preloaded a month and half before release. Am i wrong?

Guest etherdesign Posted October 17, 2001 Posted October 17, 2001 That switch is just if you want to use the WinXP desktop, or the classic Win9x desktop, some programs are compatible, some aren't, not sure what this is as I'm not a programmer, I just know some stuff doesn't work.. Quote
