ganloo Posted October 12, 2001 Share Posted October 12, 2001 I have met it since win2000, and I tried to choose APM option in power section, but that cause another strange problem, my machine reboots everytime when I wanna shutdown it. I have no UPS and it works well in win98. any advices will be really appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micropocalypse Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 xp runs on a 200? anyway i think its the mb ive gat a asus to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted October 13, 2001 Share Posted October 13, 2001 yeah it runs on a 200MHz, its got at least over 64mb ram anyway, but it would load up and run programs very slowly!Even my mate's 450MHz AMD K6 and 192mb of SDRAM is a slow pain in the a** with XP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganloo Posted October 16, 2001 Share Posted October 16, 2001 It is true in my box, only start up much more slowly, but after I logon, things go faster for sure. 224M sdram helps a lot. I use my box to surf, write and do some small thing but game. I am not a fan of game, so I am quite satifactory with windows xp. but I find my G400 dualhead have some trouble with dualhead.
