System requirements for upgrade to Windows XP Home edition
My 7 year old Dell Dimension 4100 has a 866mhz processor , 256 MB RAM,
and a 40 GB hard drive. OK according to Microsoft, but at least one post
stated I REALLY need 512 MB RAM and a 1 GB Mhz processor.
Will the new system be slow as molasses on my old rig?

Will my system be able to handle Windows XP?
