I have seen lots of people who downloaded Vista (aka : Virus, Instability, Spyware, Trash, Adware), and make it works on old machine but i did not see any "real" benchmark ... My last try with XP Pro (K6-3/500 + 256mb) did not last longer that 2 hours : huge missing frame in video capture (all in wonder AGP), littles short freezes in games, huge time to start a programm, strange TCP/IP unasked traffic, but very smaller boot time time ... So I quickly switched back to Win2K that take very long to start (3-4 min also for my TB1.4 !!), but works so much well and faster.
Just a question about VISTA, if this "label" was deposed for a previous software, do you think there will be a huge process :lol: and what about the SUN technologies used for the 3D virtual desktop showed 2 or 3 years ago...
My very personnal stupid record is to install and make works AmigaOS 3.9 on a A1200 (k3.1)with a FPU + 8mb, and also on a A2000(k3.1) + 030+FPU with 4.5 mb :lol:
Someone told me that he maked it work on an A500+ (k3.1) with HDD + 4.5mb :-o
