I asked because I have computer with this specs:

1.6 GHz Intel Atom

1GB of RAM

Intel GMA 3600 GPU

100GB Hard Drive (Not an SSD)

Win8 runs as slow as a snail, so I wanted to do a clean install of XP, so, will it run better?

I wouldn't even connect my XP machine to the network/internet. Because I'm sure most Anti-viruses will not work, or ill get a message saying "Please update to the latest version of Windows"

get Windows 7 since its bit more demanding than xp and less than 8

windows 8 manages resources much better than 7.

grab ubuntu or similar.. Linux / Unix is getting more and more support for gaming (mainly thanks to steambox) so it's viable (depending on the games.

 

If you find xp is faster than 8, go that route.. But I also suggest you go for the lightest version you can find.. there are allot of services / functions and such you can kill / remove if you do a bit of research.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

 

Quote or @dzzope to get my attention..
