Why would someone install windows xp professional in to a computer that has only 1.20 ghz processor with 256 ?

Question

MB of ram.i need to know what will happen?

Answer 1

It would run very slowly and as you accumulated files on it, it would run even more slowly. Eventually it would be freezing up on you.

A minimum of 1 Gb of ram is needed to get any performance at all from an XP computer and the processor speed is at the low end for running any challenging programs.

Answer 2

actually 256 ram is enough to run xp smoothly also the cpu is big enough as well, it would not be a fast pc but it would run reasonably well
