You’d like to build a Windows XP Media Center to store video and music. What are the minimum requirements of Windows XP Media Center?

A) 1.6 GHz processor, 128 MB RAM, 60 GB free disk space

B) 2.0 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB free disk space

C) 1.6 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 30 GB free disk space

D) 1.6 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 60 GB free disk space

E) You kids turn down all that noise!


The answer: D) 1.6 GHz processor, 256 MB RAM, 60 GB free disk space

A Windows XP Media Center computer has significantly higher hardware requirements than a normal Windows XP desktop. Video and audio requires additional resources, with a maximum hardware of dual CPUs, 4 GB of RAM, and 256 TB of disk space!

    Looks like there is a typo in the answer’s additional commentary. “256 TB”? TB needs to be MB. Otherwise I need to scrape up a lot more money to have that many Terra-bytes worth of storage space on my media server :^)

    Thank you for all of your work to provide all of this for everyone!
