Getting a Zune tomorrow... Will my PC run it???

Fiel · 12-28-2006, 11:03 PM

Here are my specs:

Laptop: 1.6 GHz Celeron M / 512 MB RAM / Integrated Video / 60 GB HDD

Desktop: 1.5 GHz P4 / 1 GB RAM / Radeon 9600XT / 100 GB HDD

I hear the Zune software is pretty demanding... But will my system be able to run it???

Nope, you're not giving us the right specs.
What OS are you running... that's the real question.

Zune will NOT work on MCe2002, or XP sp1. Keep that in mind.

Only MCe2005 and XP sp2 are supported.
You could have a 4 terabyte processor.... if it's running with MCe2002, you're screwed.

Not sure what you meant by MCe... I have XP SP2... Either I already got my Zune it's working...

Zuneologist · 01-06-2007, 06:43 AM

yeah XP w/ SP2 is fine.

MCe is short for Media Center Edition.

IIRC, there are 2 versions of Media Center, 2002, 2005.
I was blessed with 2002, meaning my desktop will not recognize my Zune.
Thankfully, my laptop runs XP SP2, so I'm connecting that way.

You are all set. Please don't bump threads that are soo old.

nhanson · 12-25-2007, 01:32 PM

pretty much if your running vista or xp sp2 then your fine...really doesnt matter on the RAM or processor (those only effect how fast your converting will go..if you do convert)

i would recommend if you plan filling your zune up with goodies...get an external hard drive or have a hard drive with plenty of space...it is next to impossible to add then delete over and over again...

Gregory · 12-25-2007, 01:41 PM

You need 512 RAM.
