Installing Windows XP on Minimum Requirements

[@kenjidoesstuff6347]

Good video. Needs more Air-horn. 7/10 IGN.

[@RWL2012]

Actually, XP will install "out of the box" on a 60MHz Pentium 1 with 64MB of RAM. 233MHz is just the "minimum recommended" clock speed. And you will get better performance with more RAM and an older version of XP (the service packs slow it down quite noticeably)

[@RWL2012]

Also the Pentium MMX 233MHz is from 1997, not 1996.

[@NTGTechnology]

All the information i could find said 233mhz was the minimum and I dont have an rtm copy of windows xp to try and the machine did have more ram when i got i was just seeing how well it ran on minimum specs

[@NTGTechnology]

The video also wasnt supposed to be super factual

[@RWL2012]

A bit higher specced, but a 333MHz Pentium II with 512MB of RAM, 32MB NVidia Riva TNT2 Ultra and a Sound Blaster Live! was my DAILY USE computer from 2002-2004! Running Windows XP Professional RTM (SP0)! Had dial-up internet back then though haha

[@mtunayucer]

@@RWL2012 damn nice pc but i would use it with win98 back in 2002-2004

[@acatisfinetoo3018]

Ah good old windows xp...those were the days. gives me warm feelings looking back🥲

[@AwesomeParodysHater6000]

5:49 is when it starts

[@ZimmerRobertsWindows10]

I think my next Windows XP video will be watching the Loud House on windows xp...

[@SaudAhmedShaikh]

25:08 the fun starts now!

[@RABBIDGamfan]

My family used to use Windows XP in 64MB RAM because the OS still worked. Needless to say it wasn't a good experience (no pun intended)

[@DhavidSetiawanKilluaDhavid]

good video. like Druaga1

[@NTGTechnology]

Thanks

[@WildDiamond07]

And LGR.

[@NatetheNintendofan]

Same I like both of them.

[@LucasSapee]

Nice video. Did the same on a Intel celeron 366mhz+4mb 3d integrated video card + 64 megs of ram. Didn´t boot, but i´ll see later if i can make it usable.

[@Rockband2991]

If you get nlite you can disable windows xp ram limit and install xp on 32 mb ram

[@brandontechnerd]

Underrated channel

[@captainjosie8619]

I love this :,) ....I install xp on everything

[@NTGTechnology]

Thanks i put so much "effort"into it

[@captainjosie8619]

NTG Television it's so beautiful

[@NTGTechnology]

I know you should try the free complementary cookies

[@pianokeyjoe]

I have to beg to differ! I installed XP pro on a Pentium 166mhz with 32mb ram and a 3.2GB HDD if I am not mistaken. It was a HP workstation from the mid 90s(95). It ran slow but it did work! So the minimum is Pentium 100, 32mb ram, 3GB HDD at least that is the REAL LIFE experience requirements. My customized XP installer CD that fits on a 512MB CF card requires LESS!

Why is his voice so satisfying?

[@NTGTechnology]

I sure wish I knew

[@Documenting_Life_8619]

Now install windows 10 latest build yes sounds like a plane man ! 👍

[@Documenting_Life_8619]

@DamnMerasmus you never know until you try install on compatible machine then execute from p2 !

[@定义]

you can run it on 28 mb of ram

[@Gospal4life]

If you run a 64 meg or 128 meg video card and ran about 384 megs of ran and had at least a 40 gig hard drive. It would ran decent it would still freeze a little but it would be okay.

[@Kai-io6jn]

running video on minimum requirements

[@NTGTechnology]

My camera sucked so much back then lol

[@brandontechnerd]

That would be on an EGA adapter, with CGA it refuses to boot, this is a video by endermanch about Windows XP in EGA: www.youtube.con/watch?v=DTFVJRU-0sU

[@NatetheNintendofan]

Could it run crome.

[@NTGTechnology]

Pentium 1 wouldn't have the right instruction sets to run it. Would likely just crash with so little RAM anyways.

[@SaudAhmedShaikh]

Fun fact which makes it even better: You don't need to type your product key in

[@NTGTechnology]

That's because I used a Dell OEM install disc. After 30 days it still locks you out of your computer.

[@SaudAhmedShaikh]

@@NTGTechnology ok

[@SaudAhmedShaikh]

I'm glad you're able to reply to me

[@SaudAhmedShaikh]

also can you make a video of you watching old youtube videos on web.archive.org on windows 95, at least using the 2006 youtube layout like this web.archive.org/web/20060622121212/www.youtube.com

[@MCPEngu1]

Can it run Firefox ?

[@NTGTechnology]

I'm not sure if it would. The problem here is that the processor doesn't have SSE, which as far as I know all version of Firefox need.

[@Eastonv1000]

What's up? Where have you been?

[@NTGTechnology]

Still around, just been busy with stuff

[@Eastonv1000]

@@NTGTechnology glad your doing okay. You and druaga1 are some of my favorite KZbinrs. Hope to see you make a return sometime soon.

[@amberjoyce7402]

*claps*

[@WorldJustice5]

Why not use the Opera browser?

[@NTGTechnology]

Do you really think I actually wanted to browse the web on this thing? Also, pretty sure that Opera would require SSE which the CPU definitely does not have.

[@Bewefau]

you need more ram. don't use the wireless card or get a better one or just use wired internet. You might need to disable some things from start up too.

[@NTGTechnology]

The whole point is to be on the minimum requirements. Plus, its not like i was actually going to use this for anything.

[@Bewefau]

NTG Television ok well you need to disable some things at start up. Or something like that windows XP was base on the NT and was very stable. You shouldn’t be crashing it.

[@NTGTechnology]

Are you referring to the wifi drivers crashing? If you are, the wifi drivers and software themselves sucked. They crash on 98 and 2000 as well, so its not exclusive to this scenario with XP.

[@plainsabertooth7828]

What's your GPU? That can be your bottleneck.
