I was given a 2ghz AMD machine with 2 gigs of RAM and a bad HD with
XP. In theory that should have been ok for Win7
I replaced the drive and installed Win7
The machine must have been 15 years old and though Win7 would
install, the CPU has no SSE2 so I was not able to install any new
browser due to lack of H/W support.
The machine has now been sent to the recycler
So it had an older processor than Pentium 4?
Intel started SSE2 with the P4 in 2001 but AMD did not support it until
the release of the Opteron and Athlon 64 chips in 2003.
Thanks for the info.
It did not break my heart to recycle a 16 year old comptuer
As long as it was not an IBM PS/2!
