| 168083 | 2003-08-15 23:54:00 | Is a 450mhz PIII with 384mb RAM grunty enough to satisfactorily run Win XP Home? TIA Tony |

| 168084 | 2003-08-15 23:57:00 | Yes you can run XP Home with that. Having that amount of RAM helps. You may find this information helpful as well: Windows XP Home Edition System Requirements (www.microsoft.com) |

| 168085 | 2003-08-16 00:26:00 | Yer your setup there will run reasonably well. Whereas if you only had say 128mb ram, the computer would probably crawl :) | PoWa (203) | ||
| 168086 | 2003-08-16 01:51:00 | it will run fine just remember to install the latest patches I still prefer 98SE uses less resources and isnt so bloated |

| 168087 | 2003-08-16 02:25:00 | Thanks to everyone. The reason for the question was that my new machine runs XP home and seems much more stable than the old one with 98SE, so I was considering changing that one to XP as well - and I think I will. I had checked the website - but wanted some _real_ opinion rather than that of MS. ;) One other question (too idle to look somewhere else!) If I want to do a clean install with an XP upgrade CDROM, how is my u/g eligibility established? Tony |

| 168088 | 2003-08-16 02:32:00 | During the installation process, you will be asked to insert your Win98 CD briefly. This is how it establishes your upgrade eligibility when doing a clean install. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 168089 | 2003-08-16 02:45:00 | I had XP PRO running on my daughters PC, a P3 450 with only 64 megs of ram in it was a little slow needed more ram obviously you do need a large amount of HDD space thiough c: drive should be at least 5 gigs preferably larger | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 168090 | 2003-08-16 03:05:00 | I thought that would the u/g check - as I said, too idle to look elsewhere! I've got enough disk space - once I have rejigged my partitions with Partition Magic... Thanks again Tony |
