What OS should I choose for my laptop?

[Petrus]

Hey people,

I got my hands on some laptop, (hurray for office work)
Anyway since I travel alot a laptop is welcome.
But it has nothing on it installed so. TT.TT

It's a HP Compaq nx9105,
You can find more information when you google it.
The only thing I will do with my laptop are these:

Ragnarok Online (very important)
Listen Music (hurray for limewire)
Watch Movies/series/porn (hurray for torrents)
Internet (duhhhhhh)

That would be it.

definitvely xp

vista on 512mb is like xp on 32mb ram, sufficient, but you can barely run anything, not to mention its a laptop too...

[Petrus]

windows 2000 and 95 are out of the question?
Or are they almost the same as XP?

I just want my laptop too run smoothly =3

some say 2000 is better then xp, but honestly i dont know so i cant say its better....

but i guess 2000 need even less resources, so you might wanna check that too

95 is out of the question, way too old and barely anything from the past 5years is going to run on that

[Oisterman]

I never really ran 2000, but I'd stick with XP. 95 is NOT good. Lol. I hated 95.

[Petrus]

HP also installed XP on their Compaq nx9105 so.
Prehaps that would still be the best. =3

anyway thanks for the info

I wanna get my hands on the government internet. I heard they use T1-3.

Its proly like 50-100MBPS.


*Googles*


Oh, T1 sucks.

T3 is about 45 MPBS.

Look what I found..

OC-3072 - 159.2 Gbit/s

Uh....AREA 51 TECHNOLOGY, MUCH!?

The Roadrunner is a hybrid machine, the world's first, that uses both traditional computer chips and the Cell Broadband Engine which was designed for the PS3. It occupies 6,000 square feet, weighs 500,000 lbs and delivers world-leading efficiency - 376 million calculations per watt. Roadrunner will be used primarily to ensure the safety and reliability of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile (we're all gonna die!). It will also do research into astronomy, energy, human genome science and climate change.

In total, Roadrunner connects 6,948 dual-core AMD Opteron® chips (on IBM Model LS21 blade servers) as well as 12,960 Cell engines (on IBM Model QS22 blade servers). The Roadrunner system has 80 terabytes of memory, and is housed in 288 refrigerator-sized, IBM BladeCenter® racks occupying 6,000 square feet. Its 10,000 connections - both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet -- require 57 miles of fiber optic cable. Roadrunner weighs 500,000 lbs.

Windows ME

[Petrus]

Windows ME

Isn't that like windows 2000?

[Jakuza]

Windows ME was the worse version of Windows, yet.

[Petrus]

I heard that alot too,

So I'm kind of scared of ME. o.o

[TheJESTERJ]

I still have a working computer with Windows ME. Problem with ME is, it keeps trying to fix itself. LET ME ****ING FIX YOU, YOU SUCK AT DOING IT.

[Petrus]

Guess Windows XP still would be the best.
Also I loved working on XP before I start using Vista.
Only got Vista for 2 weeks now. >.>

ROFL.


Petrus, just get XP with SP2-3. Its the safest thing right now.

[Petrus]

Also any suggestion on how to run it more smoothly.
Like I dont need all unnecessary to be on.
To turn those things off, stuff like that.
Or anything like it.

Since I hate slow computer...
