Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Professional
• PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended

• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

• 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*

• Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor

• CD-ROM or DVD drive

• Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Answer 3

XP runs best with 1gb. It will run on less but it will not run well. With less than that, you will also be limited as far as running anti-malware programs, such as real-time virus checkers, or other background tasks, such as Yahoo Desktop Search. If you do a lot of multitasking, 2gb would not be out of line. If you do a lot of graphics, 4gb would be best. All of this assumes you have a motherboard that supports this.

Note that if you are planning on upgrading to Vista, you can double those numbers.

Answer 4

128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)

Answer 5

Dave P speaks nonsense. I think he must be in the business of selling RAM.

Unless you are doing serious gaming or graphics work, 384 to 512 MB is more than plenty.

Answer 6

I think the minimum RAM is 256Mb.

Answer 7

I would have at least 512MB. Of course, more is better with any windows program!
