I know XP Home is memory-intensive, and I won't be running it with less than 256 MB, but I was wondering how processor-intensive it is.
The machine won't be used for much (internet applications, Office 2000 on occasion), and I plan on disabling most of the eye candy like fade in/out menus. What can I expect in terms of overall system responsiveness? This won't be my primary machine, but I'd like to know if the above tasks will run at acceptable speeds when I do have cause to use this PC.
I also have a Windows 98 license I could use, but I'd rather not bring that upon myself again.
