Can't stay away because he needs the attention so desperately, but then again that's what children do. On topic, you need 2000 or XP because they are fundamentally different and more advanced than 98 is, with better support for USB and such. They also have the ability to run services with user control from within the shell, unlike the older DOS based shells did. Itunes requires this to manage the IPOD, among other things.

But I'd suggest a reinstall not an "upgrade", things tend to work out better that way. Guess that means it's time to break out the DVDs to back up your GNR stuffBtw, what kind of hardware do you have, XP isn't exactly forgiving....

We checked XP reccomendation things on the web, and our comp. passed.Hardware stats i guess are..Well Ill just say its shit..Its an HP Pavillion 8507 CIntell Pentium 3 450 MHz20 Gb 96 BG SDRAMYeah I know it's nothing really...

Might try and find a RAM upgrade, though, check around and see if anyone sells SDRAM anymore, someone who does have it will probably sell it cheap. And you could always get a bigger HDD. Won't matter much if you're just surfing the net and whatnot. Don't try to play Battlefield or Half-Life on it though Pricewatch.com used to be a good site to find components, don't know if it's still up though.

A_Sense_Of_Rage Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 er, just noticed, sure it's not the 8570 C? it'll take up to 256 MB of RAM, two 128MB 3.3 volt, in case you go out looking96MB sounds like it does that graphics shared memory thing, with 32MB of the 128 in your one stick being used for thatso probably just one more 128MB stick would do it. Won't handle more than that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thought I'd update.. we got XP up and running smoothly, didn't go for the ram increase.. Itunes was a bitch to install , the shit with the disk kept screwing up, and I ended up downloading it off of the apple site.. I'm in the process of transfering cd's onto itunes, so yay.

You'd want the latest version off Apple's site anyway; else as soon as you start it will connect to the internet and bug you to upgrade. Make sure you're ripping CDs at minimum 160kbps if you're ripping AAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
