Yea! I guess, It worked on my laptop, which is 455Mhz , 256MB RAM, P-III. It would probably work. \nhere's more info:\nhttp://www.geekgirls.com/windowsxp_compatibility.htm

That will run XP easily enough although it won't be very punchy.\n\nAn extra 256Mb of RAM (cheap as chips from Crucial / Kingston) will help no end.\n\nAs long as you are paying no more than 150 GBP for it then it is a good buy.

Now take that list and compares it to the requirements on the outside of the box for the program.  If you meet the requirements, you can run the program.\n\nOdd are the only specs you will need to check are:\nProcess 1.6 ghz (little on the low side, so check this one for sure)\nMemory 512 mb (should be good)\n3D Graphics card (which you have)\n128 of Graphic memory (should be good)\n\nIf the requirements for the game as the same or less, you are good to go.\n\n(Next time, list the requirements for the game also and it will be easier to answer).

How comes you're using XP Pro on a "P3 class" Celeron with only 64MB Ram. This is a mismatch that couldn't be greater. To run XP Pro you need at least 256MB and even this is low. I suppose you previously had W98 or W98SE, go back to that OS to increase the speed without upgrading the hardware.\n\nBut if you want to stay with the XP Pro, you have to upgrade the memory to the maximum (512MB ?), this is not that expensive. But be careful, not even Crucial has the Ram type of the HP Pavilion 7700 in it's database, so it seems your system may require proprietary or non-standard Ram.

Your hard drive has little to do with it as long as your hard drive is larger than a few gig.\n\nWhat you need to worry about are the other computer specs. Unless it has 256mb of ram i wouldn't really try using XP on it. I would highly recommend atleast 512mb. The processor speed shouldn't be too much of a factor because i'm assuming (if it came with ME) that the processor is atleast 800mhz.

Read the system requirements very carefully.  You'll need way more RAM and Video and probably more hard drive space too than most machines that shipped with 98 have.  For XP, you should have at least 256MB of RAM and 40GB of Harddrive space ... It won't take near that much, but the stuff you run with it will.  Make sure your Video card will handle it too.  PC's are easy to upgrade and you can do this yourself, but PLEASE read the box before you buy.  If you're not sure what you have, in almost any Windows office program like Word, Powerpoint, Excel, you can go to the Help bar and click on SYSTEM INFORMATION.  It will tell you all of this stuff.  Good luck !  P.S.  Consider hitting a pawn shop for a decent 512+RAM used PC for $250 ... hey, it's just hardware, not underwear !   ;-)

Well, I advice HP. And also the following;\nIntel Centrino >= 1.7GHz\n>= 512MB RAM (1GB Recomm)\nWin XP Pro\n15.4 WXGA

Here's What You Need to Use Windows XP Professional\n• 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\n \n• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)\n \n• 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*\n \n• Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor\n \n• CD-ROM or DVD drive\n \n• Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n\n\n\n\n* Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications and features you choose to install. Additional available hard disk space may be required if you are installing over a network.

Increase your ram asap.\n\nRunning winXP on a 64mb machine is silly.

Very likely it should work.  What will make a difference is the graphics processor you have.  Vista will use graphics very similar to WinXP if you do not have a good graphics processor chip.\nIf you are planning to "test" this, make sure you have a backup of everything on your hard drive, or use another empty hard drive to do the testing.

yes, your machine should be able to run any game out there, although it won't give the best performance possible on some of the more demanding titles...\n\ni'd say that as long as you don't want all graphics/lighting etc at the highest possible settings, then your pc should do the trick.

That's going to be pretty tough.  ME is still tied to DOS.  XP doesn't use it at all and that is part of the reason it's fast.  If you want to speed up your machine, install more memory or install XP.

VERY GOOD IDEA!  ME is crappy.  Just be sure not to forget Service Pack 2 on your new XP machine.  I would recommend you start with a clean install.  Good luck.

Well To Awnser Your Question We Would Need to know your system specs but you can always run the system compatibility checker on your system, to be sure you should meet at least these requriemnts:  *PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required \n• 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)\n \n• 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*\n \n• Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor\n \n• CD-ROM or DVD drive\n \n• Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Increasing memory is always good. If you are running XP I would suggest a minimum of at least 512 mb. If you can afford the 1GB go for it.
