windows 98/2000 on Pentium 4 M
windows 98/2000 on Pentium 4 M
how well does windows 98 and 2000 work on the Pentium 4 M? has anybody used one? what are your experiences?
I've never used any computer with a Pentium 4 or Pentium 4 M so I don't know... i've used a pentium 3 with windows 98 but was too young to really know how it was....

Re: windows 98/2000 on Pentium 4 M
For the most part P4 mobile cpus will only be marginally faster than PIII cpus, unless you get the highest clocked versions. But be prepared to turn your laptop into a great blow torch . Either way, they should run nicely on 2000/98.

I can't say anything about 98, but my A31p runs W2K and it's a thing of beauty IMO. No issues whatsoever as long as you don't expect a modern web browsing experience.

Re: windows 98/2000 on Pentium 4 M
From somebody who runs two A31p on WinXPP SP3 I can attest to the fact that it's as slow as molasses in a Maine winter when it comes to browsing sites heavy with Java and Flash using Firefox. I use the system at work for basic C++ programming, light document creation and simple web access (like to this forum). The system at home functions as a light media server, file sharing and occasional .ISO burning. I don't believe that I've ever run W2K on one and for sure have not used W98 on an A31p.ajkula66 wrote:I can't say anything about 98, but my A31p runs W2K and it's a thing of beauty IMO.
