Windows recommened sys req?

I am buying a new windows os soon and would like to know what you recommend as the minumal sys specs for xp and 2000
thanxz would be much appreciated if you could answer soon becuz I am gonna be buying it soon

damn.. i would say read the box before you buy it for specific specs

Just remember to upgrade your system BEFORE installing XP.

Hm.. why dont you check microsoft's homepage ?

check the box or the website,

i dont know fi i should download WInxp , im under a 700Mhz comp with built in motherboard card, 380+MB ram , not sure if i should or not, it crashes all the time

Well, you can run XP on a fuckin 400mhz, and it still runs nice.....

I would say the req. is 64mhz for XP or so (I ahve windows 98 loaded in a 64mhz)

I looked at the windows site and couldn't find anything, WW wut do I upgrade too?

Some people suggest 2k for stability....

But I personally like XP alot more... its prett fast and much more stable

I'm just reminding you that XP doesn't like upgrades, so if you're planning any upgrades in the next 3 months or so, I suggest rescheduling them to now. As for sys req, I don't remember. I recommend 512M or RAM for sure.

My comp is:

20GB HD
380MB RAM
4x CD reader
Soem peice of shit CD-W
700Mhz
i only got like 3 GB HD left

woudl you recomend me getting xp?

I don't have much ram like 184 and a shitty 400 processor

The box says reccomended is 300Mhz, 128MB RAM or higher, with 800x600x8 or higher video equipment. The min is 266Mhz,64MB,800x600x8 video.

nah, same kernel = virtually equal stability. Get XP home.

thanxz for the info, I may pick it up. Especially if certain costs don't come my way

The minimum I would recommend is 500mhz.. but you could pull with less I suppose.

Get XP home

No. Get XP Pro.

111111111 we do not support warez (har har har)

go download linux and install it, Trust me, TUX RACER will have u sexxing linux repdetly

WW is definitly right about xp not liking upgrades
XP home required my credit card number before it would let me run the shit and if you download upgrades it can charge myshit.............FUCK BILL

XP Pro didn't require a credit card number.

My dad and I run XP Home (fuck it I'm not paying another $99 a copy), and we were never asked for a CC #.. and it's never had a problem with upgrades..
