I bought a Fujitsu Stylistic LT 500 Tablet PC off of a friend a few days ago to use in College. It has 15GB of HDD and 128 MB of RAM with a 500 Mhz Processor and is currently running Windows 2000. I was thinking of upgrading it to Windows XP Tablet Edition, since I do have a unused version if it. I have a few questions: 1. Would this be a good idea? I have heard that it works better than Windows 2000. 2. Also this tablet has a USB port but no CD-ROM drive, so the second question would be if I plug in a USB CD-ROM drive and then insert the Windows XP Tablet install CD and install XP using that, would the install possibly crash because its using a USB CD-ROM drive instead of a built-in CD-ROM drive? Thanks! -- bscheibs |

Hi, check Fujitsu website how much RAM is supported and try to add as much as you can - there is no pleasure to run XP under 512 MB. Insert a bootable CD and try to boot from that CD. Perhaps you have to allow booting from USB in BIOS first. Check that. If it boots you should feel save to install XP.
