It would be cheaper to buy a new PC that to upgrade your current hardware specs to run XP (any version).\n\nIf you can't afford brand new, have a look in your local trader - you'll find an abundance of good quality PC's at the moment as people start preparing for Vista - if you are going the way of 2nd hand, you couldn't ask for a better pick than what's around at the moment.

I highly doubt you can do that your self (no offense), its hard to do on laptops, however on desktops its cake (I've done it so many times)\nSince I weeded out doing a do-it-yourself upgrade, then that leaves you to upgrading through the manufacture, which i think would cost more then upgrading it in the first place. \n\nAlso I think i know where you are going with this. There not a huge difference in mobile processors. The Intel Pentium M Processor 1.7 GHz is essentially the same as a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz. So I wouldn’t worry so much about upgrading, but of course it would be a waste either.

it looks like ur processor with 433 MHz is too slow for running Win XP..\n\nfollw these steps to get the maximum performance it can give:\n\n-- Run Disk Clean Up for each drive every day.. it can be found in the start>programs>accessories>system tools..\n\n-- Run Disk Defragmenter for each drive once in a week.. it too can be found under start>programs>accessories>system tools.. this may take hours..\n\n-- Run Error Check(Scan Disk) for each drive.. Right click the drive icon.. take properties.. inside the 'Tool' tab it will be found..\n\n-- Check for unused programs that are installed in the system and remove if any..  this can be done using Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs..\n\n-- Right click My Computer.. take properties.. take 'Advanced' tab.. take 'Settings' under 'Performance' section.. choose 'Adjust for best performance' button.. apply the changes..\n   take 'System Restore' tab in the same window.. select 'Turn off system restore on all drives'.. apply the changes..\n   take 'Automatic updates' tab.. choose 'Turn off automatic updating'..(This step is not a must)..\n   click ok..\n\n-- Take Start>Run, type msconfig.. a window will pop-up.. inside that take statup tab.. check for unwanted startup intems and uncheck it all.. it requires restarting of the system..\n\nrestart your system.. now it will give the maximum performance it can.. good luck..

A free download site to get XP, no.  And whoever told you that computer would run XP is dead wrong.  Maybe Microsoft says it can run it and it can run it but it would run slow and I mean very slow.  I'd be very surprised if it booted in less than five minutes.  In real life that computer will not run XP.  You'll need at least 128MB of memory, while 64MB is supported (as well as your 96MB), it isn't enough, it won't run very well.  I have Windows XP installed on an old laptop, 128MB ram, 900MHz Pentium III processor and it takes about two to three minutes to boot and once it does it is slow.  You almost can't get anything done on it in a timely fashion.  Anyone in the industry will tell you that you will need at least 256MB of ram and then, in that case you could get by with a 700MHz processor.  I installed XP on a desktop with a Pentium III 700MHz processor and 256MB of ram and it ran it like a charm.  I'm sorry to say that your computer would barely run with XP on it.\n\nAs far as getting it for free, that's illegal and pirated versions of Windows XP will not validate when you run Windows update.\n\nIf you want a free operating system try Linux, it's open source and it's free.  I think SuSE is a good distro to start with.  But, it may not support all your hardware as far as graphics, sound cards or networking devices go.  But the latest version will run on your system just fine.

buy a laptop that is ran by AMD not pentium.  AMD computers normally work better with the type of software that you will need.

These are the options:\n\n1) Microsoft Windows Updates\n2) You have to refer to the specification of your system configuration to find out which brand of peripheral devices your system are using, and the motherboard chipset. Then go to these OEM to download the relevant drivers.

PC100 and PC133 are backwards compatible.  Download a free utility over here, http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php it will tell you what kind of memory you have along with processor information and other tidbits about your system.

If you have a 32 bit processor install the 32 bit.\n\nIf your processor is 64 bit then install the 64 bit version.\n\nI have an AMD 64 bit processor and I put XP Pro 64 bit on my system. Since there are not many applications that take advantage of 64 bit it really isn't doing much.\n\nMicrosoft gave me a free upgrade to XP-64 so I couldn't turn it down.
