I am seriously considering upgrading my IBM Aptiva 2170-21U computer of
January 2000 vintage from Windows 98 Second Edition to Windows XP Home
Edition. It has a 450 MHz AMD K6-2 processor and 256 MB of random access
memory.
Microsoft claims that any computer with a processing speed of at least
300 MHz can run Windows XP acceptably, but some technical writers insist
that any computer with a processing speed of less than 500 MHz will be
too slow running Windows XP to be pleasant to use.
I was just wondering if anyone had any comments regarding running
Windows XP on a computer with a 450 MHz processor or one of similar
speed and how well Windows XP runs on such a computer.
Thanks for any assistance regarding this matter.
