I think the question was whether your hardware (not even counting a CD
drive) would support Windows XP, which requires (at minimum):

* PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended;
233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel
Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible
processor recommended

* 128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum
supported; may limit performance and some features)

* 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*

* Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor

* CD-ROM or DVD drive

* Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

Speaking of upgrades--although a wee bit off-topic--saw the
strangest upgrade sight ever in CompUSA last month. It was
a stand-alone Windows XP Pro upgrade for users of Microsoft
Windows 95! Considering the typical PC configuration of Win95
users, I don't see how a Win XP OS would ever operate on such
underpowered gear. What was Microsoft thinking?

They might be ALMOST thinking of old goats like me! I still have one
machine using 95, and I'd love to boost to XP, but unless Godfather
Gates puts out XP on floppies, I'd have to get an external CD drive to
make the switch...

Blessed be, for sure...
