Will XP pro run on a Dell Dimension XPS 200MMX !?

[MowSow]

ohh ya I have 64MB RAM .. if not how about Win 2000 ?
I am trying to fix up my old Dell to sell it with a 17' monitor !!
There is no way to put more RAM on this machine ... I think it's SDRAM

You can, but it would be very slow and probably not worth the effort.

At least you can keep the appearance of reasonable performance with something like Win98SE.

With only 64MB of RAM, that is really going to show the machine's age if you put on Win2K or WinXP.

just got done installing it on 233 for a friend, had 96mb of ram though, but only a 1.2GB hdd. Anyways, if you disable everything that isn't absolutely needed its not too bad. Actually ran alot better than I thought. Had it booting in 50 seconds, and only using 39MB of RAM at bootup.

I'd say its doable if U really want to, but takes alot of work to get it working decently.

If all your doing is selling it, I personally would just do a Win98 Lite! install and call it good.

i wouldnt go anything higher than Win98 on that machine.

I had XP Pro on a PPRO 200 with 64 megs of ram, it ran but REALLY slow, I would go with 2000 or ME, or maybe even 98.

I would not run Windows XP/2000 on any PC that has >128MB of RAM, the CPU you're ok on (with everything turned off), but 64MB of RAM is a no-no, go to Crucial and choose your model number from that page, and you should be able to get the memory up to 128MB. If you can't get up to 128MB, then I'd suggest Win 98SE. It was manageable for us for a year and a half when we ran it on a P75 with only 40MB of RAM.

I have one of those PCs (same spec) running 98SE as a LAN fileserver. I wouldn't recommend anybody runs Win2k or XP on it. It uses SIMM chips, not SDRAM if that helps you.

Thank you all ... 98 it is
