haha that spec is better than the desktop i'm running it on! - and i'm not even trying to do a dinosaur challenge haha
so is it impossible to install it under 512mb of ram? - as in it doesn't let you go through with the installation?

This looks promising.
Im planning on installing W7 on a Latitude X300 with a 1.4Ghz Pentium M and 1.5GB of RAM.
EDIT:
No luck. BSOD when I tried to install. It said the computer/bios wasnt fully ACPI compatible.
Im a really Thinkpad guy, but I got this Dell for free. Thats about what its worth anyway.Last edited by Forman; 11 Jun 2009 at 16:44.

How well does Windows 7 work on computers with just 512 MB? Is the speed still ok or is it really slow?

hi !
W7 runs on a P2 with 266MHz CPU, 96MB RAM & 4Mb graphic card !
i have done 3 tests: 2 successful...
1. 128 MB RAM
2. 96 MB ram
take a look at the screenshots...
on my third test with 64 MB i got some errormessages about "insufficient memory", then it rebooted...
i also have a P1 with 166Mhz CPU & 1MB Graphic card, without the powersupply-unit, as i have used it for some test on another PC.
if i can find the Powersupply-unit, i´m going to test the P1 tomorrow...Last edited by hackerman1; 15 Jun 2009 at 20:40. Reason: added info about 3rd test
