You can install XP on the 2gig - but i suggest you stick with the default linux OS. The 4gig can support XP a lot better where as the 2gig is better off with the default Xandros install.

I've had Xp Pro on my Eee since day 1 when it launched in canada, boots up to desktop under 20 seconds. Use it for Emails, Web, VPN, pictures, webcam, msn, etc etc.

Best Gadget of 2007.

why do u think the 2gb isnt good to run xp? i heard of some tool that can clean up all the crap from xp to make it even smaller. what do u think of that? will join. i think im ganna do the usb mod with a extra 8gb usb key... i knew i should have bought it at FS last week for 30$ LOL i figured i had to many of them.....
 
2gb isnt good because the XP install takes more then 1 gig, you can use Nlite to bring down the size but other applications will need extra space. hibernation, recycling bin, cached files, email attachments, etc etc

Stick with Xandros if you need to just surf/email - its good for that.

if i do the memory upgrade to 16gb with that usb port conversion with a usb drive. if you dont know what im talking about check on EEEguides.com

and let me know please !
 
Bro just upgrade the eee to the max RAM it can take - 2GB no? Like Celly said use nLite to slim down the installation size - saw it on the link you posted... that's if you really want XP.

The 4g has 1 slot, which comes with the default 512megs of ram (which is more then sufficient for Windows XP PRO). The 2g surf comes with the same amount of ram but i believe its embedded ram, meaning there is no slot to take out - its built onto the mother board.

You'll be fine with the 512 trust me.
 
thx boys ! looks like blue screens of death will be coming back into my life after 2 years of absence LOOOOOOOOOOL
