I’m looking into possibly upgrading the current network to all updated softwares. The current configuration is as such:
Domain-based
SERVER: HP Netserver E50, 333Mhz processor, 160? MB Ram, 8GB HD divided into 4 partitions 2GB each, WinNT 4.0, Microsoft BackOffice SBS 4.0
CLIENTS: HP Vectra VL, 333Mhz?, 64MB RAM, 6GB HD divided into 3 partitions 2GB ea, WinNT 4.0, Microsoft Office 97.
As you can see this is an old system and has been in place for about a decade and a half.
To fit our small size (only 6 clients, 5 need upgrading) I think the best option is to go:
XP Professional on all, Windows SBS 2003 Server on the Server, Office Professional 2003 on clients.
Based on the computer descriptions above, do you think these old machines could handle the new software if I add a 64MB memory chip to each?
Thanks for any input.
