There's no reason it shouldn't. XP wouldn't be the best choice for it
though. Especially if you're on Windows98SE. --Bowen-- [View Quote] anduin lotharioDec 10, 2001, 10:15pm
Hi,
Yes, I'm using Windows XP and AW works perfectly without a single problem, so does every other program that has driver updates, or may need them. -- _________________________________________ Anduin Lothario ICQ#:17962714 SMS: (Send an SMS message to my ICQ): +278314217962714 More ways to contact me: http://wwp.icq.com/17962714 http://www.anduin-lothario.com _________________________________________ [View Quote] captain mad mikeDec 12, 2001, 12:46am
AW worked nicely on RC 2, should work on the real XP

But rem win XP is a hungry big devil for mem, would not run aw under 256meh
of it. The machine Ibought only had 128 and that ran aw client at 100% of cpu, so if not got get as much mem as you can afford. [View Quote] data21Dec 12, 2001, 12:17pm
I got a P2 350MHz and 128MB RAM
Right now im running windows 98, hosting 2 worlds, a bot or 2, along with the AW browser and my processor is only being used about 1% - 6% System resources are around 60% free [View Quote] bowenDec 12, 2001, 6:14pm
Stick with Windows 98.. there's no logical reason to upgrade (or is it
really downgrading?). Your computer will come to a crawl with XP. --Bowen-- [View Quote] foxmccloudDec 15, 2001, 8:47pm
You may consider Windows 2000 Professionnal though, by far the best OS Microsoft has released as of yet (which isn't much :P)
Well, that's my opinion at least :) Although 98 works ok most of the time, it may be wiser to use Windows 2000 when running world servers for more stability. 98 is good for older games (if you're into that ;o) ), Windows 2000 for servers, new games, stability, security... The systems to avoid are 95 and below, Me, NT 4 and below, and XP (especially Home version of course ;o) ).
