The other is a 2008 model, 2.8 ghz Centrino Duo core, 2 gb RAM and Vista. Both run off dialup via Netzero and Juno (2 seperate 10 hour freebee accounts) or wierless at the local coffee shop.
Try to install a dual boot with XP SP3.
Cave: make sure to google and read HOW's first. Else You will destroy Your Vista.
XP will probably improve performance.
guenter/ME is on a:
CPU Type Mobile DualCore AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56, 1800 MHz (9 x 200)
Motherboard Name FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO Pa 2510
2 GB RAM ...
An almost contemporary AMD version of Your system. Mine originally also hosted VISTA.
I first moved onto XP / VISTA dual boot, I had a spare XP corp pro (likely You can find a
"free" one in the USENET by now. Oh yes I had to reinstall VISTA - I did not google and read the/my HOW 2's
).
Later I reduced the number of systems to XP because of VISTA's lack luster performance - compared to XP. I still have dual boot but 2 XP.
Another thing to try is Win 7. Also more performance than VISTA. No idea about 8+ but they might be worth a try if You get hold of one for cheap.
