Can my CPU running Win98 handle XPPro?
Last response: in Windows XP
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)
Hello.
My computer is about 5-6 years old and I've been running Windows 98 Second
Edition on it ever since it was purchased. I own a Hewlett Packard Pavilion.
Here is some info about my C:\
Local Disk:
Capacity - 27.9GB
(used: 6.07GB)
(free: 21.8GB)
Memory: 127.0MB RAM
System Resouces: 49% Free
File System: 32-bit
Virtual Memory: 32-bit
I typically use my computer for internet use (browsing, messaging, chat),
creating documents out of microsoft word and other office programs, saving
images/photos to file, using image editing programs (i.e. photoshop) for
editing and creating digital images.
If you can answer my question and help me out with installing XP Pro (if
possible) and answering other questions please email (ims0hardcore @
yahoo.com) or reply to this thread, or message me on AIM:

Thank you so much!

That's not enough RAM to run XP at a speed you'd be happy with.
How much memory you need depends on what apps you run, but almost
everyone needs at least 256MB for decent performance. For some
people, for example those who edit large photographic images,
more than 256MB--even much more--can be required for good
performance.
You didn't say anything about what processor you have. Assuming
that it's at least a PII-400 or so, and you upgrade the RAM to at
least 256MB, it should be OK. It won't be speed demon with only a
PII-400, but it should be acceptable.

None of those are relevant.

If you are a PhotoShop user, you need *much* more memory to get
decent performance. Even the 256MB I mentioned above isn't
enough.
I wouldn't recommend less than 512MB, and 1GB or more is even
better.
I don't know for sure, but my guess is that a motherboard as old
as yours can't take as much memory as you would need.
Since you'd probably need to replace your motherboard, get a new
processor, and new RAM, you might well be better off just buying
a new computer.
If you do get XP, why do you want Professional rather than Home?
I don't see anything in what you say you do that suggests you
need Professional. XP Professional and XP Home are exactly the
same in all respects, except that Professional has a few features
(mostly related to networking and security) missing from Home.
For most (but not all) home users, even those with a home
network, these features aren't needed, would never be used, and
buying Professional instead of Home is a waste of money.
For details go to

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/howtobuy/choosi...
Also note that Professional allows ten concurrent network
connections, and Home only five.

If you do go with XP, I recommend upgrading your memory to at least
512MB for the tasks you listed.

Go to HP's support to see if your hardware is upgradeable to
XP. Borrow a copy of XP, run the compatibility check.
(do not install just check compatibility). Then make a decision.

IMHO, by the time you put in enough RAM to support XP, and live with a slow
control processor beating up your little hard drive, you'd be very
disappointed. Bringing that old HP up-to-date with recent hardware
(mobo/cpu/memory/power supply) is an expensive if not an impossible
proposition.
Get a recent PC with XP installed, and transfer your settings and files
would be short route to your intended destination.

IMHO, by the time you put in enough RAM to support XP, and live with a slow
control processor beating up your little hard drive, you'd be very
disappointed. Bringing that old HP up-to-date with recent hardware
(mobo/cpu/memory/power supply) is an expensive if not an impossible
proposition.
Get a recent PC with XP installed, and transfer your settings and files
would be short route to your intended destination.
