So how much memory does XP need? | |
|

Microsoft's XP sales push to UK system builders, at the annual Personal Computer Association conference, prompted friendly discussion on the memory requirement for the OS. A few laughs of disbelief, and mutters of "No way will it run on that" and "As if", met group marketing man Nick McGrath's word on the subject. He said 64MB is the minimum XP will run on, but 128MB is recommended. He added that this is the first time Microsoft has come out with a memory recommendation. When pushed he reckoned a 300MHz PII box with 64MB would just about do the job. But earlier in his address he'd dismissed PII machines as XP-incapable, and their users ripe for an upsell, but his audience would want to hear that so they wouldn't be bothered to argue the point. | ||
