I don't think that hardware old enough to still be running XP will cope with 8.1 - I'd be looking at doing hardware upgrades at the same time. Fill them with RAM, build them as 64bit, and you won't need to replace them for years.

Options are 1) upgrade to Win 8.1, including a possible RAM upgrade 2) leave xp alone and wait until some problem occurs 3) install Ubuntu. They only use a browser so Ubuntu would work ok for her. Given I have only played with Ubuntu and cannot offer deep support, but cost is a factor for my client, what do you suggest I do. thanks Mark _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com ________________________________ This communication and its attachments, if any, may contain confidential and privileged information the use of which by other persons or entities than the intended recipient is prohibited.
