Microsoft Low-Balls XP Requirements | |
|
||
| Time: 18:25 EST/23:25 GMT | News Source: WinInformant | Posted By: Viper | ||

Don't be fooled: Once again, Microsoft has understated the minimum requirements for its latest version of Windows, and users who attempt to run the OS on inadequate systems will be sorely disappointed. Today, Microsoft announced that the minimum system requirements for Windows XP (formerly code-named Whistler) are a 233MHz Intel or compatible processor and 128MB of RAM. The processor, in particular, is woefully inadequate; I recommend a 300MHz processor as a bare minimum and a 500MHz or faster processor for acceptable performance. The RAM guideline makes a little more sense because 128MB is indeed the absolute minimum on which you should attempt to run XP. But RAM is inexpensive, and XP will gobble it up. Go for 256MB or more. | ||
