can someone tell me the minimum memory it takes to run windows xp ,as a friend of mine has a old computer which he wants to use for his business accounts etc .at the moment he's got windows 98se on it, and would like to transfer all his ledgers etc to this old machine . the hard drive on the computer has a 10 gig capacity and durion 800 !:rolleyes:
 
I ran it well at 192 Megs RAM for a couple years, using about 4.5 megs of HD for XP and Office. (128+64)

Of course they've added bloatware since then. Avoid all the latest media player and IE stuff.

There are streamlined versions where you build a customized install CD. Search the threads in here. I'm pretty sure someone posted about them lately.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
