    Speed increase with RAM?

    I really want to go back to XP tonight, but no floppy... and I am afraid of formatting the drive, and then having no way to load XP! lol

    Speed increase with RAM?

    thanks. I've just always really liked XP, and in addition to how well it has run for me in the past, I know where everything is. The layout of Vista and the clunky movement between folders bothers me a bit. thanks again for all the help!

    Speed increase with RAM?

    i can borrow a USB floppy drive so on that note, is there anywhere i can get a step-by-step direction on how to go about deleting vista and installing xp?

    Speed increase with RAM?

    yep, used pcdecrapper and use avast ive got to find a way to go back to XP. My prob is that it appears from what I've read I need a floppy because after I format the drive, supposedly dell doesnt have the XP drivers or something. and i dont have a floppy drive... UGH I wish I could just format...

    Speed increase with RAM?

    It's just the whole thing. It's a Dell 530 Q6600 with 2gb of 800mhz RAM, and it just seems sluggish. I'm comparing to my old box which was an Athlon 64 4200+ with 3gb; I assumed this Vista Q6600 would be much faster. How hard is it to delete Vista and install XP instead?

    Speed increase with RAM?

    Vista runs sooo slow for me with 2gb of RAM. I can go to 4 (well, 3.5 thanks to Dell). How much of a diff will that make?
