My mate has an old p4 socket 438 and 1gig ram. His computer is infected and really slow. Will win7 ultimate without aero work better than xp sp2 after black viper's service tweaks? |

Better to stay with XP. Tell him to install the SP3 too.

Xp needs just 256mb ram and its a better choice for old rigs..

xp will even run on 128mb infact the first new laptop I bought in 2002 from my local dixons store actually came with 128mb ram. although you do get memory low warnings sometimes with that amount lol

windows 7 will run on 512mb but I would say ideally a minimum of 1gb to be comfortable. thats allways been the problem with old computers they never had much ram, just as well memory is cheap then.

He doesn't have xp install disk and i only have win7. And his hard drive needs some cleaning up. So should i install 7?

if its got 1gb of ram it should be fine. just give the hard drive a really good format better still with a program like killdisk and there is a free version of it you can download just google it. ive been told the military use killdisk so it must wipe the drive really well.
