Guest R..pace! Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 nice but how many extra processes those it give you ? , when you change your xp to that It doesn't increase the number of processes. I use "seven remix xp" and no problems so far Quote
Guest R..pace! Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Does that thing eat up memory?? Since it's just windows xp in disguise the paging file usage is similar to the unmodified form of xp. Quote
