I'm sorry but the minimum for xp is around 512 so I would say it needs more ram or a different os or else it will run realllllllllyyyyyy slow

pc-tech · 12-07-2007, 03:06 AM

im upgrading it soon anyways

jabes srry but obviously the min isnt 512 cuz xp wouldnt install if it was so u should say the recomended is 512 although when xp came out it was being sold on comps with only 128 megs of ram

I mean now but the recomended is 1 gig but it runs fine on 512 because with sp2 and all that it slowed it down

Let's clear this up. Min system requirements for XP Home:

CPU: 233 Mhz (300 Mhz recommended, but not required)
RAM: 64 MB RAM (128 recommended, but not required)
HDD: 1.5 Gigs.

Installing SP2 *only* requires an additional 1.8 Gigs of HDD space, no upping of either CPU speed or RAM amount.

Confirmation:

Jumping back on-topic... PC, I would try to get $225 for it, but be prepared to give a little most likely in terms of price. Might I ask how much you paid for the CPU and HDD? If gratis, or not too much, have you considered donating to a local firehouse or Salvation Army center so they can pass it along to a needy family without one?

if people dont like the specs, they ask me for a certian part and i will sell the system part by part

dude a pc with 64mb of ram would run like sh*t on xp I have a laptop with 160mb of ram and it runs real slow with no other programs installed

and pc tech I'm not talking down on that pc just making sure people don't get confused and think that xp will run excellent on 64mb of ram

min requirements only mean that the computer will turn on, nothing else is covered by the loose requirements that it says

pc-tech · 12-18-2007, 01:00 PM
