I own the Asus EEEPC models 701, 900 and 1000. They are all really good when booting LINUX, otherwise, the performance will be a little slow.XP requires alot of disk space and resources that the eeepc just barely has. I would highly suggest looking up EEEbuntu. You will like it, as it is a re-worked Linux kernel designed specifically for the Eeepc. If not, i would suggest keeping all programs and applications off of start up, choosing not to install all unecessary programs. May 17, 2013 - The original Asus EeePC can handle Windows XP very well, but the 4. It featured the Celeron 900 MHz processor underclocked to 630 MHz, and I put 2 GB RAM in it. Anyway, I am lucky enough to have a USB DVD drive, otherwise the. All printer drivers, and removed all Applications except Calculator,. But i would definitely opt to go for EEEbuntu, as it is twice as easy to use as windows in my opinion. I disagree with the solution comments. I have installed XP onto the 4 G C drive and my programs onto the 15 Gb D: drive. I run AVG and have MS Office, Outlook, Visio, Paint shop pro, Skype, and various other applications running perfectly adequately. Its not as fast as my core duo desktop - but its perfectly workable - plenty fast enough for MS office etc. Firefox 3 does not run on the m/c - that takes 4 min to show the 1st screen - but that is aknown issue with Firefox on the EEE. I have 1.86 Gb free on the C: drive and 10 Gb free on the D: drive - plenty of room (just turn of system restore, hibernation and move the paging file to the D: drive. Also take a C: drive backup when every thing is up and running OK - start up is nearly as quick as with Linux - and I'm convinced the applications start as quickly - in fact MS office apps start faster then Open Office! I tried using Linux - but did not find it particularly fast - and difficult for me to use (I'm a Windows man). Have the guys above actually run it under XP? I have a Eee PC 901 Linux now XP I tried living with Linux for a week then wiped it and installed Oem version of XP Home SP2, and Office 2003 (only Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook). This was because I am too old to get into Linux now and could not run the same email client as my desktop Outlook. I use the eee when I travel (US/Africa/Middle East,/Far East/Europe etc. About a week a month). I use ViceVersa to sync data files ( 20 Gb), and Outlook.pst file (200 Mb) back and forth between my core 2 main desktop before and after I travel. I only carry out real work on the desktop the eee is for email, Skype, running PowerPoint presentations (LCD projector), writing the odd small report when I am away, referring to my old data, and watching DVDs/video files in hotels and in airports. Also a Logitech VX Nano wireless mouse (great - I leave the small wireless usb receiver plugged in all the time to the eee). And a 2 Gb DDR card ( so I could disable the paging file however I have not noticed any speed improvement with the extra ram probably due to the type of work/applications I do/use on the eee). I also have a LG Slim USB DVD re-writer that I use for installing programs and watching DVDs from. The 8 Gb with the Linux m/c is useful however as my last post said if I had that I would still have 2 Gb free on the D: drive. Buying eee for a school?

Thanks for all the additional information (certainly worth some points, although they've already been allocated). ![]() With regard to your query, why EeePCs at a school, first of all we live in NZ so the pricing of things is a little different. Also, this is one of three options, the other two are proper notebooks running Windows XP (XP due to compatibility issues with the school network and what the kids are used to, and since a notebook that runs Vista well needs to be 3 - 4 times more powerful than one running XP with equivalent performance and therefore significantly more expensive). And finally, it's for a Primary School (5 - 12 year old kids) so the size will probably be appropriate, portability with the School's wireless network will be improved, and the added durability due to no moving parts an advantage. Will need to keep an eye out on them of course, but the kids are pretty good.
