Considering downgrading from Windows 7 to Windows XP since I primarily use Ubuntu now, and I'd like some more space to use in Ubuntu.
Hard Drive 1 - 150GB
Windows 7 - 130GB
Music - 20GB
Hard Drive 2 - 40GB
Ubuntu - 32GB
Temporary stuff that I usually delete soon afterwards - 8GB
What I'd like to do is move Ubuntu to the first hard drive, replacing Windows 7, and I'd install XP completely on the second hard drive. I'd like to do all of this while keeping Ubuntu in-tact. I'd also need to move around 7GB of data from Windows 7 to XP (primarily FL Studio data and VSTi's.)
So it would now be like this:
Hard Drive 1 - 150GB
Ubuntu - 130GB
Music - 20GB
Hard Drive 2 - 40GB
Windows XP - 40GB
And the reason for me wanting to downgrade to XP, is that my computer is just too slow to handle 7.
Idling here with Firefox 6, iTunes, Explorer window, Skype, and Steam with the Classic theme: 45 - 70% CPU is being used. With Aero on, it shoots to 60% - 85%.
This is on top of a bunch of stuff installed I just haven't wanted to uninstall.
On XP, only FL Studio, iTunes, Steam (and games), and a few other minor applications would be installed.
Should I keep what I have now, or go with this?
Specs if anyone is curious:
2GHz Pentium 4 "Northwood" CPU
2GB DDR RAM
512MB nVidia 8400GS PCI DDR2, 567MHz video card
1600x1668 resolution
