Windows Forum / Windows Me / Networking / June 2004Upgrade to XP Pro
Can i safely upgrade my ME to XP Pro? Running P3 with 128MB ram. Computer is really used to get emails and small amount of surfing? Go to the XP web site and download the Upgrade Advisor. After it is run it will list any incompatiblity issues. > Can i safely upgrade my ME to XP Pro? Running P3 with 128MB ram. Computer > is really used to get emails and small amount of surfing? i would highly suggest running a min. of 256 ram for win xp It will most likely upgrade but it will be very slow. I have a machine with an original Pentium 200MHz (not P2, P3, or P4 mind you, just P1) and 64 MB of RAM that runs XP Pro. It's slow as hell, but I just use it as a file server so it's fine for that. > Can i safely upgrade my ME to XP Pro? Running P3 with 128MB ram.

I am running ME on a Pentium Pro 200 MHz, 96 MB of memory, and it is acceptably fast for Web Surfing, Mail Reading, and Word Processing. It can even run Quake 2 OK. Networked to XP Home. The only concern for me is lack of security compared with XP. Stability is ok with limited installs of other programs. I basically have only the programs I use on the machine.

I was saying that when I sit at that machine and use it directly, it is veeerrrrryyyy solw, but as a file server to connect to and pull stuff from or write stuff to it is as fast as any other machine. I use XP Pro. on this machine to secure it as part of my domain. > > Perhaps consider a reinstall of ME.

Sorry, wasn't aiming at you but at the OP. Truthfully, I'd run XP on this machine if I could. Dick |
