Will elements 9 work on my XP OS?
Think it is about time I upgraded my V6 but not sure about compatibility with XP.

Mine worked with XP but it was really slow. I'm told it was because the computer only had a single core processor. (Pentium 4)

I use PSE9 at home with a dual core processor and PSE9 at work without a dual core processor and I can't tell the difference, maybe I could if I resorted to a very elaborate experiment.

Both computers have the maximum amount of RAM that can be used with 32bit systems.

There was a time when I would have known the number, back in the good old days when RAM was measured in KBs.
Anyway, am running an Athlon dual 64x2 3800 with 2 GB RAM, whatever all that means..

Hopefully it will be fast enough.

4GB, although apparently 32 bit systems can only use just over 3GB of that 4GB.

So I would have thought that your 2GBb should be fine.

+1 with Hyram. I too use PSE9 with XP running on a Pentium 4 (clocked at 3.4 GHz) with 2GB ram. PSE9 doesn't run lightning fast but it's OK and may be helped by the installed NVidia GeForce 9800 graphics board which has a further 1GB ram fitted.

Maybe the graphics memory then, I do not think mine had any.
