Windows XP

Post #57,241 by HMinstermann 10/16/02 7:57:27 PM Reply	Windows XP I have a pentium 233Mhz and 90M of RAM, I think, could be more like 96M? I have a 2 gig IDE hard drive, can I run Windows XP on it? What is the difference between Pro and Home? I have Windows 98 for now, but I want to get current. Also what is the deal with that Linix I keep hearing about? Someone told me that Wal-Mart carries it.

Other than that, and a $50 to $100 price difference, they are pretty much the same. If your computer wasn't built for Windows XP (eXtreme Pain), then you shouldn't try to run Windows XP on it unless you are very adventurous and your computer is at least 500-MHz with 128-Meg of RAM. 1-GHz+ and 256-Megs is more comfortable. Linux (a more user oriented version of Unix) is becoming the successor to Windows in a growing number of company environments. Cheap computers like WalMart's may or may not start the same trend in home computers. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
