Acer Revo RL70 Nettop PC, AMD E450 1.65GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, NOOPT, AMD HD6320, Wifi, HDMI, Linux

I bought a Linux Revo 70 quite a while ago for my mum to use the internet, she only uses Windows, so I tried to install XP at the time, but had some issues for some reason (It wasn't happy installing from SD card or something) I just happened to have a copy of Vista laying around with a valid serial so I installed that and it works....but it can be painfully slow, so I am going to try again, I know with XP I can remove all the bloat etc which is nice, but MS are stopping updates, I also heard windows 8 is more optimised for nettops, but I don't really know, so which OS will run fastest, XP, 7 or 8?

XP ... 2GB ram would be useless on other OS


But on the bright side Microsoft released a huge patch with XP before they ditched it to try and make it last as long as possible so it should be alright for a month or two perhaps even three but I would look into a upgrade

I've got 1 slot free, 1 taken up by the 2gb module, I have a feeling I have 2x2GB of this type of RAM that I took out of my laptop somewhere, I'll have a look...so assuming I upgrade to 4GB, which Win OS would run faster?

I do remember having endless failures of getting XP going on it, but yes I would have preferred XP on it in the first place, I'll have to find my XP disc and have another go, thanks guys.
