just like poofface, id recommend XP as it will probably run faster than windows 7 would on an older laptop

Thanks everyone. I will stick with XP
Win7 will run fine if you disable stuff like prefetching and other non necessary services (theres a lot you can disable).

or even winXP MCE

lol you do realize that prior to today the last post in this thread was 7 months ago ?
any hoo to put my two pennies worth in the pot.
either go with good old rock solid windows XP as that OS still has quite a bit going for it even though it's getting on a bit now, or try ubuntu yes it's linux but it's dead easy to pickup and go with even for a windows user like me.

i installed ubuntu and it just sped up everything worked really well
as i gave it to my wife she didnt like ubuntu so i installed XP on it and the speed is brill must better than the sluggish win7 starter it was supposedly designed for
