545646674116 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I happened to be looking through some of my old bookmarks, and I do mean old, and came across and old dual boot how to webpage I had booked marked many years ago. Reading the requires made me smile and just goes to show you really how times have changed from when many of us first starting using the PC. http://www.techspot....oot/index.shtml Large hard drive(s). Installing 2 Operating Systems can take up a lot of hard drive space. I?d recommend having at least a 4 Gig hard drive, preferably a fast one at that. Although preferably you?d have 2 separate UDMA capable hard drives. 128MB RAM or more. While it?s probably not technically a requirement ? Windows 2000 is very RAM intensive. No serious users should have less than this amount of RAM. Nothing like the good old days :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoffel Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I remember my first pc still, 8086 It had 2 floppy drives No hard drive and about 640KB of memory The first HD I bought was 40MB A year or 2 later when we bought a new pc and ordered a 100MB HD everybody thought we were crazy, because you would never be able to fill that up It is indeed funny how the times and pc's have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
