Generally, yes. Pentium 3's of say 700Mhz or faster can run XP fine, just make sure you've got 256MB or more of memory....

The minimum requirements for Windows XP is 300Mhz CPU, 128MB of RAM and 3GB Hard Drive. Bear in mind however, that is only the requirements to install the OS. You won't get much use out of it with those specs or get so frustrated with the "slowness" of the computer to throw it out the window. A pentium III is probably 800Mhz so you're good there but don't expect it to run very well when you install other applications. At work we require 1.4Ghz CPU, at least 256MB of RAM and a 20GB hard drive. Anything less than that we recycle. If you have the money try and get a new computer.

you have thank you to plenty stuff working on your computing device at one time. Your CPU and memory are over under pressure plenty that the memory is now utilising annoying force area to function (it rather is named digital memory). you may desire to do some issues. Delete previous courses you do not want anymore utilising the eliminate software function interior the administration panel. next bypass into upload-ons then kit interior the beginning up menu. discover you disk freshen up and defragment. Run them with the disk freshen up first then the defrag which will take an exceptionally long term to end. ultimately click on run decrease than the beginning up menu and press enter a field will arise. form msconfig in that field and press enter. a clean window seems. click on the start up up tab. those are each and all of the courses that are working once you turn on the computing device. you could disable all of them different than your anti-virus and your computing device would be plenty quicker. The courses will nonetheless artwork yet you will might desire to open them to apply them. the want not be in simple terms engaged on a similar time as you do not want them. This wastes rather some ram.

Yep...but you will need a good amount of RAM to run smoothly. For Windows though, I recommend Windows 2000 or Windows 2003, the professional server line is more stable.

You will need to format the hard drive in dos to rid it of the hidden files a computer cannot eat its own data. And then set D:\ drive has the boot up in system setup.
