windows XP question

[banshee84]

I have a computer that was made in 1999 and I am running windows ME (Milleneium edition). Can I install windows xp on it? I ask becuase I have lost some of the software for ME.

i dont see why not. unless there is somekind of OS lock with ME that i don't know about :confused:

with XP you're going to want RAM, and lots of it!

may i recommend a mac? LOL

Vista from Microsoft is coming out soon and is supposed to be the bees-knees. might want to wait for that.

what kind of software did you lose?

Just the cd burning software plus I just like the way xp operates. I have xp on my other computer but it isn't hooked up to the dsl and is too far away from the wireless router or phone jacks. I downloaded some free cd burnning software but it is so so so SLOW!

Yeah you can run XP. I've put it on computers designed for windows 95 before.

No I used to burn cd on here with adaptec easy cd creator and it was fast enough for me but these FREE ones suck
