Windows XP Needs More Horsepower | |

Microsoft will deliver the first preview version of Windows XP by early July, a company executive said. But early adopters could find that their PCs lack enough memory and processor speed to run the new operating system. The new features will demand more PC horsepower. The 500,000 Windows XP beta testers may have found Microsoft underestimated with its recommended minimum configuration--a 300MHz Pentium II processor and 128MB of RAM (random access memory). But the final version of Windows XP is expected to carry more stringent requirements. Officially, Microsoft says any PC purchased from late 1999 onward should comfortably run Windows XP. "You want to avoid installing Windows XP on a system more than a year old," he said, adding that a 650MHz to 800MHz Pentium III PC is a more reasonable minimum. | ||
