What about installation of Windows XP?
Well, it is the same for Windows 2000 pro or Windows xp home edition.
What are the system requirement for installing Windows xp?
Microsoft's system requirement to install windows xp home edition or windows xp pro
· PC with 300 megahertz (MHz) or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233-MHz minimum required;* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended
· 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)
· 1.5 gigabyte (GB) of available hard disk space.
· Super VGA (800 × 600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor
· CD-ROM or DVD drive
· Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
my advice to you all:
· if you can 1 gig (MHZ) CPU will do a magnificient job ( if you are a gamer, you should get an AMD CPU, others should get an INTEL CPU )
· 256 megabytes (MB) minimum to have a smoother performance
· unless you are broken, a hard drive of 20 gig is the standard
· anything else should have less impact on your system's performance ( for other people with an appetit for movie and gaming. It is recommanded to have at lease a geforce II mx 420 or ati radeon 7500 or better and also at lease a sound blaster)
· additionnal feature: an optical mouse, a dvd drive and a cd-rw drive should be taken in consideration serioustly
If you have an optical mouse, you can avoid to clean the little ball inside your wheel mouse. With a dvd drive,
what else can you ask for to watch a dvd movie on your PC ? Finally, a cd-rw drive is just a thing, no PC's
owner should forget ( backup your data, copy musics and movie ) oh games too i almost forgot.
· Want it or not, you have to buy a monitor, to have a best view and low cost. You should get a viewsonic 17'inch minimum.
