Just buy a router and you'll be fine.

Just remove networking support and you'll be fine.

Just install gentoo and you'll be fine

XP user here, I have to say that XP is nice but you really lose out on a lot of modern shit, like a LOT more than u might imagine. Drivers for modern stuff don't always work for XP so you might not be able to use all your hardware. I'm stuck on 32 bit XP for reasons and my machine has 32 gig...

Enjoy your 3.5gb RAM and lack of software support you fucking fags

If you insist on using windows xp I suggest not connecting to the internet, there are just way too many vulnerabilities.

>thinking PAE magically gives you unlimited rams

I'm on 32 bit xp dude

>>56671964
>implying I ever said that
All I'm saying is that PAE allows XP to address more than 3.5GB RAM

>>56672064
This, even XP is better

>>56672023
xd just playing around with ubuntu mate, not sure if ill install it

>>56671997
Install a fucking 64 bit version of Windows you faggot

>>56671997
XP with PAE supports up to 4GB RAM, if you want to address more on a 32-bit platform you should use something like Windows Server 2003. It can address up to 64GB RAM.

use something else. there is literally no reason to use xp besides acting like a fucking tryhard to fit in here

>>56672084
But my drivers only work on 32 bit

>>56672104
>there is literally no reason to use xp besides acting like a fucking tryhard to fit in here
It's the best Windows version for my hardware. You really expect me to run Vista with an iGPU that has 10MB shared RAM with 512MB total RAM?

>>56672128
buy a new fucking machine or use something else you fucking idiot

>a Core Solo is a Skylake i7
ok kid

>>56672222
>just bought it

jesus christ, get a job and fuck off

>>56671380
love how this thread goes to shite and almost nobody answers op's question...

>>56672232
If I didn't have a job I wouldn't have spent $300 on a computer with such low specs for no reason other than I want it.

>>56671380
just make you have the POS2009 registry tweak to keep getting the latest security updates for a little while longer, have the firewall enabled, and don't be a moron when surfing and downloading stuff.

You can have anti-virus enabled if you want. For the last at least two years of my XP box (a lightning surge finally killed it roughly 1 year ago) I didn't even have an active A/V software; just had MBAM reserved if I was suspicious of something.

Also, make sure the applications you use are up-to-date as well.

>tweaking the registry to pretend it's POSReady 2009 when you can just install POSReady 2009

>>56672356
i don't have a key for postready... gib me one!

>>56672356
if you already got normal XP installed, just making 1 quick change to the registry is easier.

Except for the part where they are not the exact same thing so while you are obtaining updates they more than likely aren't updating everything that should be updated. Why risk it when you can spend 20 minutes doing it the proper way?

>>56671380
you're gonna get fucked eventually, you're delaying the inevitable
install gnu/linux

>>56672405
Installing OS takes more than 20 minutes, more like a couple days

>>56672253
>300 bucks for an XP computer
What? You could have gotten something way better than that for way less. No kidding. Some ThinkPads could have been bought with Windows 7 for less than that man.

>>56672405
i see. pos i'm guessing would have less things to keep updated. i assume wepos is lighter than normal xp

>>56672439
Yeah okay buddy
