System requirements of 2.2.0 - Can I upgrade to it

[littlemoney]

I am not very computer literate and would appreciate some advice so please forgive the question.

 

I am using am 8 year old computer running XP Pro 32 bit with SP3.

 

My computer a Dell Inspiron I6440 has

 

Intel® CPU  T2130 @ 1.86GHz 

T1.58 Ghz

1.99GB of RAM

 

I don't know if this means my computer will run the latest version of Malwarebytes or not. I currently have paid for version 2.1.8.1057.

 

I can see that the hardware requirements for 2.2.0 are:

2048 MB RAM (64-bit OS), 1024 MB RAM (32-bit OS, except 256 MB for Windows XP)
800 MHz CPU or faster, with SSE2 technology.
20MB of free hard disk space

 

But I don't know how to relate this to my computer.

 

I know this is a stupid question but as I don't know even what SSE2 technology is I am rather confused.

 

Can I safetly upgrade or should I stay with my current version please.

 

Thanks

What is the Make and Model of the computer in question ?

[sman]

He has already mentioned it as Dell Inspiron..

[David H. Lipman]

"Dell Inspiron" is the make, but not the model.

 

EDIT:

 

I asked because I could not find a Dell Inspiron "I6440" and I wanted the Make and Model to be restated.

[sman]

Quite true. No such model could be found. But as he has mentioned abt T2130, it is Dual core processor with 2Gb RAM , must be quite a handy for the reqt..

[David H. Lipman]

Yes, but I wanted a verification since I could not find the supposed Inspiron Model.
 
We should just leave it to littlemoney to double-check.

[sman]

Amen..

Sorry it's a Dell Inspiron 6400.

[David H. Lipman]

Thank you.  It is semi-compatible.  The problem is Windows XP went End of Life ( EoL ) a year and a half ago and Malwarebytes does its best to stay compatible with it.  Most use MBAM, in general, successfully on Windows XP 32bit..  Some have older CPUs ( not your T2130 CPU ) who have to apply a special patch.

 

Your system is compatible with MBAM 2.2.x but I think you should think about replacing it.

The computer or Malwarebytes?

[littlemoney]

Is it still possible to download Version  2.1.8.1057 and if so from where?

[David H. Lipman]

Your "system" is the Inspiron ( computer ) platform,.

In respect to the platform, there is no difference in v2.1.8.x and v2.2.x.
