I recently aquired a pretty nice 2003-era laptop... a Dell Inspiron 4150. It has a 1.6Ghz P4, 512MB RAM (doubt I'll find more/increased RAM for it), 30GB HDD (4200 RPM.. ugh), and ATI Radeon 7500. Now, I've always thought that laptops don't make good gaming rigs due to impaired graphics capabilities, but research shows the Radeon 7500 is no slouch. Personally, I think if it were in a desktop system, it would be better paired with a slightly lesser CPU, say, a PIII, but not bad.
My question, however, is what are ya'lls thoughts on what Windows OS is best for this machine? It shipped with Windows XP, but I feel like that is kind of a... bloated operating system for this particular machine. I'm contemplating between Windows 98SE, ME, or 2000.
