Xubuntu is a good option if you are not a technically advanced user. Xubuntu closely resembles Ubuntu, and is produced by the same company.
Damn Small Linux would run even faster, and occupies far less space, but is slightly less user friendly.
Puppy Linux will run on any computer with 128 MB of RAM. It can be awkward to install it to a hard drive, though.
Not enough information.
1GB of RAM, Dual core processor (Pentium 4 or higher)
Using windows you can right-click on my computer and click properties. The processor name should be posted under tab "general."
A computer can hold memory depending on how strong the motherboard and the processor is. For example you have a Pentium 1 computer, obviously you cannot afford to put a 1GB memory on it.
If you are actually able to see the processor die, you should be able to read the text written on the top of the processor.
in the processor it self it should say the make and model. like Intel Pentium 4 or AMD 64.
The Pentium is a PC chip, or what oldschoolers call "IBM-compatible." i.e, non-Mac.Since the Pentium (and the stuff it attaches to) IS the computer, I'm guessing what you're really asking is, what will the Pentium processor run?It'll run Windows (and keep in mind that there have been Pentium processors since 1995, so you'll want to figure out whichPentium you have before you run out and buy Windows 7.They'll also run Linux (including Ubuntu), Unix, and other OS's - - essentially (again), if it's not the Mac OS, it'll probably run on a PC.
There is probably no need to reinstall Windows after a processor upgrade, and the performance increase between the two said processors is probably not worth purchasing a newer version of Windows for.
For the 32-bit version, you need a minimum of a 1 GHZ Pentium III or Athlon processor. For the 64-bit version, any 64-bit comptatible Intel or AMD processor should work.
Yes. The minimum requirements for Windows XP are a 233 Mhz Pentium, 64 MB of RAM, and 1.5 GB of hard drive space. Any Pentium III computer should have more than enough RAM and hard drive space.
The D is a reference to being "dual-cored," or having more than one processor core. Although it uses the same concept as the Pentium Dual-Core, they should not be confused. The Pentium Dual-Core is much faster, more efficient, and cooler-running than the Pentium D.
Minecraft should run decently on there, but it really depends on how much RAM you have and your graphics card. If you have 2GB + of RAM it should be OK and a decent graphics card would be ideal. The processor should be fine.
