Hi everybody!
I have a machine at work running Windows 98, and would like to know if it´s
architecture could withstand Windows XP (because I would only have to buy
the OS). Here is some information that could be retrieved with CPUID (CPUz)
software.
---------------------------------------
Name AMD Duron
Codename Spitfire
Specification AMD Duron(tm) Processor
Package Socket A (462)
Core Speed 797.1 MHz (8.0 x 99.6 MHz)
Rated Bus speed 199.3 MHz
Instructions sets MMX (+), 3DNow! (+)
---------------------------------------
It has 256 MB of RAM but 16 MB are being used for video (resulting in a
total of 240 MB). At first I´m not intrested in performance issues since the
tasks this machine runs do not consume much. I´m just intrested in finding
out whether Windows XP would run on it or not.
Thank you.
P.S.: If more information is needed to accurately reveal drawbacks to
running Windows XP on it, I can send CPUID´s complete information analysis
report.
