any idea how to improve these benchmarks

trying to compile it locally (it's a windowsPC running XP SP2 with 320MB RAM)

All the PII's I had were overclocked 10-15%. You could try if your mainboard allow it (If I remember well, it was a bit tricky with all the jumpers to move).

I guess overclocking is a bit harsch for this one. It's a Compaq not sure if they allow overclocking. Also to be honest, never did that before

You're running XP on a P2? Big mistake

The latest I would install on that would be 2000 Pro.

They probably don't indeed.

I know, my goal was to install a linux-version on it. Was running smoothly until girlfriend requested a pc at home to do some school stuff and she won't work with linux or win2000. It had to be XP because that was the OS they used at school.

I can understand linux, but refusing to work in win2000..... * moderated by tutta55 *

Depending on what exactly she needs to do on the computer, since everything always changes place in Windows I can understand she prefers to use the same OS everywhere.

Only the menu changes + you can put all the programs you need on your desktop or quick start menu.

Win XP on a P2 is asking too much, even 2000 on a p2 is on the edge. Intall on OS only cause thats the one you're used to is not a good reason for me.

Can't you install a dual-boot (Linux / Win XP).
