System requirement for embedded WinXP?

[Embedded]

Hello,

I want to install embedded WinXP to a special computer, can anybody tell me
the system requirement(CPU and it's speed, memory, hard drive space...) for
EmbeddedXP?

Thank you!

Hong

Hi Hong,

This site should answer your questions about XPE:

thanks,

Are you aksing about the tools or an XPE run-time image?

If it's the tools, check the link in my other post.

If it's a run-time image, often, these requirements are the other way
around. The system hardware defines the scope of the run-time image. You
can deploy your run-time image on a variety of hardware, from 128 MB Flash
to 10 GB disks.

The amount of RAM required is dependent on the applications you are running
and XPE features you are using. For example, if you are running EWF
(Enhanced Write Filter), a good rule of thumb is that RAM should be twice
the size of your run-time image. The amount of RAM and the speed of your
CPU will affect performance.

Here's a good article on footprint configuration:

and a good walkthrough on building a run-time:

tks,
Dan

Thank you so much for the answers!
Yes, I want to know hardware requirement for XPE run-time image. We have a
special made computer, it's CPU is 486, and it has 64 RAM, 512M hard drive.
We tried to build image for it, but we failed, now we are looking for
minimum hardware configuration for XPE run time image.Do you have any kind
of info. about this?

Thanks again!

The generic answer is: The minimum hardware for XPe is the same as the
minimum hardware for XP Pro.

However, the smaller you make your image, the less resource you'll need.
