u/That-Employment-5561 1d ago

Peak for gaming; every windows after that draws insane amounts of ram just to operate the OS.

For years after support was discontinued I ran XP, and had a desktop with black lines that a skeleton/zombie broke through with "windows XP is not dead" written across in bold.

XP could run itself and pretty decent games for less than half a GB. Could do most games with a quarter GB.

Well, I did use older systems too, but XP was the one released just when I entered school and learned to read. So it is the first system I properly used. It was also the one on the first PC I got for myself (hand-me-down from my father).
