I'm about to install Windows XP Beta Version on my pc with:
- Intel Pentium III 1000 MHz
- 256 MB RAM
Do you think OFP's gonna make it?
No matter what, I'm gonna burn the whole OFP-directory to a CD-RW. Couldn't live without it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Why on earth would you install a beta? to get out of having to pay for it?

Installing a Beta OS is a bad bad bad bad idea, kinda like installing a beta DX, it seems like a great idea at the time, it works great, then a few weeks down the line the beta expires and you can&#39;t play d3d games anymore without an annoying popup box saying "this has expired blah blah", in short don&#39;t do it http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

LOL well it always seems like a good idea at the time, I&#39;ve signed up to beta test DX9, haven&#39;t heard back, maybe cos in the "reasons why you should be a beta tester box" I wrote that I was Bill Gate&#39;s love child http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Yeah... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif
My friend has it installed, he says it works fine and he hasn&#39;t noticed any bugs.

And it&#39;s a 6 months&#39; professional beta.
I&#39;m not sure, maybe I should save my money till i have € 100 and buy the real Home edition. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif
