Hi.
I have a ThinkPad 600 compliments of a generous group member. Its a 300mhz maxxed with 296MB of RAM.
Its no speed demon, but it does ok. Its currently running Ubuntu 10.04 and XP, probably not the best choice for great performance.
So what would be good? Is Windows 2000 still viable as a good version of Windows. I only use it for surfing, emailing via webmail and listening to music. Nothing heavy.
The apps I use in Windows are Firefox, iTunes, Office 2000.
I use Ubuntu most of the time and only use it as it is one of the less nerdy linux distros as my linux skills are not great.
Id like a newer machine, but funds are not permitting at present, so I need to get the most out of this one.
Is there much performance difference between 2000 and XP?
I know I have asked this before. Ubuntu and XP are ok, but are quite sluggish at times and it is frustrating.
