Ciao esperti di hardware.
Mi serve assolutamente un vostro parere.
Ho un vecchio pc (cioè, ce l'ha Cristina), più o meno di metà 2008, su cui tempo fa girava XP, senza troppi problemi.
Da 3 anni, per colpa di un virus devastante, il pc è "passato" a Ubuntu, direi con buoni risultati di performance.
È un tipico pc
low-end, da usarsi giusto per il solito word-processing, Internet, mail, un minimo di multimedialità...niente
roba pesante da videogame.
Purtroppo la manutenzione è
problematica (
vedi la mia ultima esperienza con la stampante).
Giusto ieri questa stampante aveva
smesso di funzionare e sono dovuto intervenire di nuovo, risolvendo speriamo definitivamente.
Ma Cris non smanetta in Linux come posso farlo io - che non sono neanche un esperto - e non può professionalmente permettersi di avere un pc fermo o malfunzionante finchè non intervengo io (ha spostato il suo pc a casa della madre).
Da qui, la sua voglia di tornare a Windows (...e bravo Bill Gates!).
La mia domanda principale è
quale versione di Windows (l'acquisto di un nuovo pc per ora è escluso, quindi Windows non OEM)?
Pensate che il pc ce la possa fare?
XP è alla fine della sua vita, Win7 è ormai già "vecchio" (e io non l'ho mai visto), Win8 è l'ultimo nato...
Le caratteristiche del pc sono queste:
- Scheda madre
ASUSTeK P5GC-MX/1333 - Socket LGA 775
- CPU Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2180 @ 2.00GHz
- RAM 1Gb DIMM DDR2 Synchronous 333 MHz (3,0 ns) - espandibile a 2
- Scheda grafica Intel 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller
- HD ATA Western Digital 150Gb
Gli potrei incerementare la RAM al massimo(
NOTA: RAM aumentata a 4Gb a marzo 2015).
Le specifiche della scheda madre dicono "O/S Compatibility: Windows Vista/XP/2000", spero che sia solo perchè la pagina non è stata più aggiornata.
