|  XP Pro memory requirements?
What's about the bare minimum about of Ram you should have to run XP Pro? The system I am working on won't be used for much more then internet surfing and CD burning. It's a 2.2ghz P4.
Thanks!

minimum 128MB, or 64MB without enhancements.
There are ways to make XP less of a pig.

We are talking about reality. With 64/128 XP SP2 will run like ***. 256mb is the bare minimum in my book. 512 is recommended.

without any service packs, 128MB would be acceptable. | |
