Holy hell, the bus is 66mhz. If you read the detailed specs for XP, you need an 800 mhz computer with at least a 100mhz bus. The reccomended reqs are 1.2 ghz with at least a 133 mhz processor.


And tom compound this, you have the celery processor. It has a 64kb cache. This is one of the biggest bottlenecks on a PC. No matter how much memory, how fast the hard drive is, or how powerful you processor and bus are, if you have a small cache, your computer is going to be slow. My old AMD64 machine had a 1024kb cache. I only had 256 megabytes of memory in it, and it still flew.

My parents have a celery processor computer thats in the guest room. It is maxed out, 512 mb ram, 1.2ish ghz processor, 7200 rpm hard drive, geforce fx5900, but with a 64kb cache. This computer can barely run windows. It is so choppy and slow.
