i got XP to run pretty good on my brothers old K-6 233 MHz w/512 KB L-2 cache, 96 MB of SIMM ram. It actually booted faster than my old P3 800 MHz with win98 with 300 MB ram. I got win95 to run good on a Pentium 100 with 16 MB of ram, same with win98,


Why do I doubt this?

SuSe quick? BwAHAHAH!
SuSe has got to be the most CPU/RAM hogging distro I have come across. We have a family machine, 400mhz +/- 128mb ram I think. And it ... well it didn't. It took ages to boot and even to log in. Slackware was a dream however, went like a crazy train (on tracks). :)

SuSE a hog?  Hmmm.  I did an FTP install of 9.2 onto an Athlon XP 2000+ with 128MB (120MB really, shared video)...the CPU is good but that ram isn't...but it was still fast.  The hard drive churned sometimes but it wasn't bad at all.

I tried SuSE personal edition (can't remember the version. It was about 6 months ago) on my XP Athlon 2400+, 256mb ram, and it was pretty slow. Mandrake was better on the same machine.
SuSE seems like, all bloated up ...

And it didn't have gcc either, so I couldn't compile isdn4k-utils to get on the net (and couldn't download the binaries either) :( So I went back to slack!

Ah well, I first ran Windows 2000 Professional on a computer with these specs :

AMD Athlon K6-2 450MHz
128mb RAM (not DDR)
3DFX Voodoo Banshee
Creative Soundblaster PCI 128
8gb Hard Disc

This computer ran great for years, I spent most of my gaming days on this machine.
