Done it, expect with 128MB ram.
But that meets the min requirements on the box, Vistas min requirements is like a 2.4 Pentium 4 or equiv or something like that.




I did see a comp with A 233Mhz pentium and 60MB ram running XP, but it wasnt mine

I tried to run XP on my old 233 (could have been 133, not sure) mhz machine before I had this machine/discovered GNU/Linux.

Wouldn't install.

Think it was the CD ROM drive, too slow maybe.

I've used a machine with 128MB of RAM and XP briefly at a computer auction and it wasn't that slow. Most MS Office programs ran at an acceptable speed but I imagine it would've slowed down if I had several programs running or if I installed some anti-virus software.

Congrats you are the only person insane enough to run vista on a p3

I have plans to try to run it on a pentium 2 or a amd k6-2 475mhz I will take screens of it.
 
The Pentium 3 runs at 900mhz.
 
 
And is that a challange to run windows 98 on a 486? I would if I had a 486 motherboard I only have 2x 486 cpus.
 
 
:P I try to get the most out of old tech :P

windows xp lets see let me find my box...

lol, I tried to put the windows vista cd in the 200mhz p-pro and it just ignored it. It wouldn't even startup the install thing.

Oh no, I'm sure you can put 98 on the 486, it will just be a boat anchor.  I put 98 on a pentium 1 (200 MHz) computer with 128 mb ram.  Frustratingly slow  without 98 Lite.

I think vista will require the i686 instruction set.  No pentium pro, no pentium I.

Plus, I'm willing to guess that the
Vista CD doesn't come with a boot floppy, so you can't put it on any computer that doesnt' support boot from CD.

:eek: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY?!?!

The only old computer I've kept is an old 686 300 with like 80 megs of RAM and only because it's a Cyrix... that way when somebody comes over I can point and say look a Cyrix! And then they go either "Whoa" or "What in the fuck is that?!" Anyway the only OS's that I am crazy enough to run on it is 98 and Vector Linux.

hey pentium pros make good affordable server. Why 1 no fans 2 it is the dual cpu version of the pentium 1. 3 I really don't know I just like counting to 3.

They don't have fans (other then the psu) but they get really hot. REALLY HOT. but they still don't crash or anything stupid like that. I have set it up to read cd first I put a dvd rom in it and tried some windows 98 linux cds to make sure it could read on boot. I will try again but who knows. I got suse linux 10 running on it, it was rather slow but ok.

Pentiums cannot burn as they say, because they automatically tune down the clock speed as temperature reaches a critical limit ... it's not recommended you run them hot, but I suppose you could without too many problems.

Yeah, um tex, thats the Pentium 4s. Everything under P4 cant throttle. I did here of a person who put a blow torch to a pentium 1  while the computer was running and it was almost 2 minutes before the comp crashes

A 2001 article.  Watch the Athlons go up in flames and take out their motherboard, while the Pentium III and IV survive without a heat sink.
