ASP.NET, SQL Server, WPF, C#, VB.NET

hi everybody,  
  
I want to install Sql Server 2005, Developer Edition for the purpose of MCST  
  
on my system. My system configuration:  
  
1. Operating System - Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2  
  
2. Processor - Intel (r) Pentium IV 2.8 GHZ  
  
3. RAM - 512 MB  
  
System Requirements for installing SQL SERVER 2005:  
  
1. Operating System - XP SP2/Server 2000 SP4/Server 2003  
  
2. Processor - P III or higher  
  
3. Processor speed - Minimum 600 MHZ  
  
4. RAM - Mimimum : 512 MB  
  
Recommended : 1 GB or more  
  
So, when i install Sql server, set up gives a warning about minimum hardware  
  
requirements. According to me, the reason can be that my system is actually  
  
showing 480MB of RAM instead of 512 MB in the system properties dialog. The  
  
setup,however, can continue & install the sql server.  
  
Now, i want to know whether i should extend the memory to more than 512 MB  
  
or should i install the sql server. if i install what will be performance of  
  
the system? is there any problem or not? Please help me.

hi Sandeep,  
  
your configuration is just fine, the warning that the SQL server gives to  
  
you is just a notification to know that the performance won't be as you  
  
should expect because of the RAM.

No. Developer Edition will run on XP Pro.
