Night-Fang Posted March 10, 2002 You are suprised by this? I see dolts like this come into best buy all the time! Some are in fact WORSE. Like the old peeps who wanna upgrade their P1/90mhz (16mb edo) with windows XP. Silly customers... 0 Share this post Link to post

Shaviro Posted March 10, 2002 so what? There ARE people out there who don't have interest in computers and don't feel like seeking info about it. The guy doesn't have to be a retard. Geez. Get a life. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted March 10, 2002 Yeah, my mum isn't in the slightest interested in computers - if she got herself a computer, she could easily wound up doing something similar. And for all I know, my mum definitely ain't a retard, she may not be the smartest person in some aspects but she's definitely not retarded (if she was a retard I'd probably be in jail by now for having obtained illegal weapons and having shot up my school or something). 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted March 10, 2002 My mum doesn't even understand the concept of the Windows interface. Ironically, I bet she'd understand DOS a lot easier. 45 mins? Heh, reminds me of someone I knew trying to load Win95 for the first time on what was practically a word processor :P 0 Share this post Link to post

nxn Posted March 10, 2002 for me XP loads about the same, gotta love it, way better than 98SE ever was. 0 Share this post Link to post
kain Posted March 10, 2002 mine loads 98 in less than 30 secconds, and reboots in less than 20. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted March 10, 2002 yea XP only works great on higher systems. so for your p133 and less just stick to win95b. however 9Megs of ram why not add a litte more like 32 megs or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted March 10, 2002 hmm, bah I don't consider 600mhz a high end systerm but it still runs faster than 98SE did if you turn all the eye candy off. 0 Share this post Link to post
pritch Posted March 11, 2002 mine loads in about a minute. Oh, yeah, it's spelt DOLT not dolt to all those who dared to use my word loosely... :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted March 11, 2002 win98SE loads fine for me on a p166(with 81megs RAM) and it also runs really good on my p3 550. 0 Share this post Link to post
mmnpsrsoskl Posted March 11, 2002 45 minutes? That is how long my computer takes to do anything...HE'S AMONG US!!! I am not that stupid. A 200MMX with 16mb ram takes ages to do anything...doom alone takes about 30 to a minute to load up... 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted March 11, 2002 sadly if u are haveing such problems with a 200mmx cpu you need a new system. either your mainboard or CPU is dead/dying. my dad's computer is haveing the same problem. on his system it is the motherboard because i just put a new 200mmx in it 6 months ago 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted March 11, 2002 should take that long, either you're exagurating the time or there's something wrong with your pc. 0 Share this post Link to post
JavaGuy Posted March 11, 2002 It's a known fact that computers decompose faster than any other living organic substance on the face of the planet. Computers never get back to their original state, even if you defrag, wipe them clean, etc. I call this law, "JavaGuy's law of computer decomposition". What do ya think? 0 Share this post Link to post
nxn Posted March 11, 2002 well obviously... but same goes for humans... a 75 year old can't out run a 19 year old. 0 Share this post Link to post
JavaGuy Posted March 11, 2002 well obviously... but same goes for humans... a 75 year old can't out run a 19 year old. Hey Orion, you missed the joke there buddy. Computers are not organic. They shouldn't decompose... It wasn't really a statement that needed a retort... Ah, never mind. I'll go back into my hole now. 0 Share this post Link to post
