gamehead200 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Yes, but I would suggest reducing the size of it using nLite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InTheWayBoy Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 If you use nlite I seem to remember you can disable WinXP's check for minimum requirements...you'll have to rebuild the WinXP disk using this, and then you should be okay. I would format the drive though, as I and many others don't trust upgrades...especially from Win95! And be warned, I don't think you can do much with only 64MB RAM...let alone 16MB! Good luck!

suryad Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 What are the comp specs? Also nLite would be of great benefit on older comps...tho XP on a p3 500 with 256 mb of ram just runs fine...with an old 4200 rpm hdd as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D22 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 if any one knows a website that sells memory for the older computers please let me know.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Well This Place sells all types of memory,.I'm pretty sure they ship anywhere at a pretty decent price too, I myself haven't ordered from them yet, but a friend of mine ordered 6 sticks of PC100 for himself and he said it all works perfectly fine so you should have no problems with them.-D- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
