Ben is looking to upgrade/fix his computer and has been looking at dual core PC’s he mentions that they use the line “…now you can simultaneously burn a CD, check e-mail, edit a digital photo, and run your virus protection - all without slowing down your computer” as a benefit of dual cores….. Corect me if i am wrong, but was that not the marketing tagline of some of the following :- Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows XP, 64bit processors, and any new computer From PC world?
Saga my poor under powered server is a 1.4GHz 256mb beast, running Windows 2000, and Ubuntu AT THE SAME TIME, all without me worrying about slow down, why? well not just because the virus checker only runs at 3am? or because i don’t have a CDRW attached?
Oh and 64Bit? bugger that, it still doesnt work with XP, yes i have tried, Repeatadly to get it to work, and its a waist of time, Windows XP64 is a pile of crap, which is why i still use XP32 on my 64bit computer

Well, what do you expect when you try to use a legacy OS like WinXP on modern hardware?
