Hi everyone
For some reason I bought a netbook as a cheap "fun project". It hasn't turned up yet but I was thinking of what to put on it. I will mostly use it for *very* lightweight gaming: Quake 3, NfS 3/4/Porsche, Half Life 1 etc. I used to have a netbook whilst I was at Uni so know just how slow it is. I have the options of Windows 7 (and I'd upgrade the RAM to 2GB, plus an SSD), or Windows XP (and I'd just upgrade the RAM). It has an Atom 1.66GHz HT, 1GB DDR2 667, GMA950 eugh, a SATA HDD of some kind.
But then I thought about Windows 2000. I notice the crucial drivers support 2000 as well as XP. I haven't used 2000 before so considering how slow the netbook will be, would running 2000 SP4 give a few more resources to the system? Would there be compatibility benefits for the late 90s game? I wouldn't be browsing the net much whatsoever (if at all).
Ryzen 3700X | 16GB 3600MHz RAM | AMD 6800XT | 2Tb NVME SSD | Windows 10
