I'm installing Litestep on my really old computer, which now has Win XP. It's a 733 Celeron w/384MBs of Ram... I was wondering if it would be a bad idea to install Litestep? Will it cause a computer of such low-caliber to run much slower?

well...thats more PC than my laptop...and I run LS on my laptop daily.

This isn't the first time a question of "Is my computer good enough?" has come up so I want to make something extremely clear to everyone. I ran LS on my 486 DX2 66 with 32MB of RAM for a long time. No matter what you have now...it will run.

My machine, the one that I develop for litestep on, is a 600 MHz P3.

I've got a laptop with Win95 on it for testing, it actually has so little ram (8 MB) that Win98 will not install. iirc it's a P90, but I can't be bothered to find out right now. LiteStep runs on that, slowly, but it runs. You right click on the desktop and watch the menu get painted. But it's sorta usable if you're patient.

..like loading an image in a browser at a somewhat slow rate :D

You have more than enough RAM (for litestep at least), which I feel matters more than CPU usage, depending on the heft of the theme you want to use. Just make sure your theme doesn't have too many things updating every second and your CPU usage should be low.

Alright thanks. I was gonna go minimalistic anyways.

I ran it for years on a 300 MHz PII. You're doing fine...

It could be said that anything that can run Explorer, can run Litestep better (if the theme is right).
