nLited XP installs for a cab

The 400 mhz pc... by "run decent" do you mean it could handle mame? How much ram did you put in it?

I stripped out all of the crap from Windows XP by installing Windows 2000 instead :)
It was easy

Note to anyone who doesn't know... 2k is NOT the same as xp by any means. I would reccomend a crazy tweked version of xp over 2k any day.

That PC was set up for my kids to use for homework and internet access. IIRC, it has 384 megs of ram. The only things it's designed to run are Mozilla and MS Office, and to connect to my network. My kids also use it to rip music to their mp3 players, but that's about it.
I know it ran v0.78 very nicely with the above-mentioned setup before I removed it. My kids play primarily consoles, and I don't allow installation of anything that doesn't relate to schoolwork or basic internet usability on that PC. If I had to guess, I'd say it ran 60% of the games in that version without any problems. I tend to play about 20 particular games no matter what version, and they're older games. No problems with those whatsoever. I could run DOS for those, but I hate dicking around with DOS anymore, so if I can avoid it at all, I do.

There are/were programs to strip crap out of Windows 2000 too. 2000 isn't without its dislikes either, but 2000 still wouldn't be what someone looking to nLite an XP installation would choose. It's simply a different OS that some choose because they're comfortable with it.

Forgot to add that the Office version on that PC is stripped as well. MSFN is the forum to check out if anyone would like to slipstream Office into their XP install, or any of a number of other programs. Worth your time if you do "part-time tech support" for family members.
