XP Pro memory requirements?

[Raphael Argus]

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!

256MB IMO

minimum 128MB, or 64MB without enhancements.

There are ways to make XP less of a pig.

with 128/64 it will be very laggy , i agree with SHAWN

64 MB is bare minimum according to Comptia.

But 128 or more is reccomended.

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

Thanks, I'll try it with 256mb and add more if it's really necessary.

 

[Ste]

It will run like ****, but it will run none the less. Im just the messenger also. Maybe comptia will change it in their next revision.

yeah...256MB is the bare minimum for any system i work on...

 

[talldude123]

without any service packs, 128MB would be acceptable.
