Windows XP is a 32-bit OS, so it won't support more than 2GB of effective RAM. You can always use a RAMDisk extender to use the remaining RAM, but I think it's way way better to either shift to a Linux distro or Win 7 64-bit that can indeed make use of the full amount of RAM.</p> <p>At first glance, the <a href="http://www1.ap.dell.com/in/en/home/notebooks/laptop-inspiron-1545/pd.aspx?refid=laptop-inspiron-1545&amp;s=dhs&amp;cs=indhs1&amp;~oid=in~en~78002~inspnnb_15_s541004in8~~" rel="nofollow">DELL Inspiron 1545</a> listed here would satisfy almost ALL your requirements. As an added bonus, it also comes bundled with Win 7 64-bit.</p> <p>Also, take a look at <a href="http://www.hclstore.in/products_search.php?pq=0&amp;fq=5&amp;category_id=49&amp;fn_1=HDD&amp;fv_1=320+GB+SATA+HDD&amp;fn_2=Memory&amp;fn_3=OS&amp;fn_4=Processor&amp;fv_4=Intel%AE+Core%992+Duo+Processor+T6600&amp;fn_5=Screen&amp;lprice=10000&amp;hprice=39999" rel="nofollow">these notebooks from HCL</a>.</p> <p>An additional suggestion - most laptops have a video out port, so you can plug in your laptop to an external monitor that would be large sized and suited to your needs - I'm thinking 21" and above. So, you may even look at laptops with smaller screens and purchase as additional super-sized monitor that you can hook up to the laptop.</p> <p>If you intend to purchase the laptop from a particular store, I suggest you talk to the store reps there about items in their stock and availability because usually laptops available online as part of promotions or holiday deals MAY NOT be available in stores. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/please-sugget-me-a-good-laptop#post-7365 Mon, 04 Jan 2010 21:06:28 +0000 Anonymous 7365@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>I want to purchase laptop with these things to replace my old desktop.</p> <p>1. 3 or 4 gb RAM<br /> 2. 200 GB+ HDD<br /> 3.

It's amazing though Microsoft <a href="http://labnol.blogspot.com/2007/08/microsoft-attorneys-knock-autopatcher.html" rel="nofollow">pulled it down</a>.</p> <p>Or Windows XP SP3 is now under beta testing. So if you can wait, it will be a roll up of all hotfixes, patches released by MSFT since XP SP2. </p> http://www.labnol.org/forums/topic/more-questions-regarding-windows-xp-product-activation#post-491 Mon, 03 Sep 2007 12:07:18 +0000 Anonymous 491@http://www.labnol.org/forums/ <p>Amit,</p> <p>I have a licensed copy of Windows XP SP1. </p> <p>1) So, is there any issues like "you can activate n no. of times" ?</p> <p>2) is there any h/w issue i.e. "if there is n no. of changes in h/w devices it won't activate" or once a product is activated will it ask for reactivation if there are n no. of h/w changes?</p> <p>3) I am asking this because suppose in future if I have to install windows on a new machine, will I face any problem?</p> <p>4) Like I said before, I have SP1 CD, but with automatic update downloads, my system is updated with SP2. So, If I reinstall windows on a different machine, how can I install those updates too without downloading again from Microsoft site? </p>
