    I never did post my specs in this thread:

    No-name box from 1998 (had the original windows 98 on it a week ago)
    Intel Pentium III 700mhz
    512mb RAM
    40GB Hard Drive

    Win 7 runs at least as well as XP if not better. Aero works awesome.
    Must had been a gaming computer from 1998 to support Aero...

    Yeah, I think it has a video card of some kind - because it has a VGA video connection on the back.

    I got you beat


    I got you beat I have a bit faster processor. but you are running on a 80 gig drive. mine is running on a pentium 3 660 mhz nvidia gfroce 440 mx 8x agp with tv out and 512 ram. and just a measly 12 gig drive. and the video card is not even recognized. and I have just sdram 133 two 256 meg sticks. you added another 256 gigs to your pc which puts you up to 768 as your minimum. Windows 7 should be running on that pretty decent. mine just has 512 megs ram no more the that. and under the minimum space requirements which is 15 gigs. and I have just a 12 gig hard drive. So I think I have you beat a bit. your processor is a little bit slower and I will give you that. but I have only 512 ram and you have 768. that is not far from what you need for ram. windows 7 requires at least 1 gig ram 15 gigs of free space. then you have thehard drive. yours is bigger then mine so you have plenty of space.

    I am not trying to brag. but I just thought I would tell you.

    I would like to get a pentium 2 300 mhz. and see if it will run on that. most likely won't 300 mhz is very slow. but I would be curious to see if someone got a pentium 2 to run 7 as fasat as xp or faster.


    about that 486. I think that would be cool if you try that. I am curious on the outcome of that.

    I have an email from a friend in which he laughs at Win7 running on an original Pentium @ 75Mhz with 128MB of ram. Hard to believe but I somehow don't doubt him. Impressive, really.

    My grandma still keeps her old old old PC that runs on windows 95 and it's sooooo slow it takes like 15 seconds to open up the floppy drive. If anyone could smack up a... shorter version of Windows 7 on a diskette than I'd try it!
    I haven't checked, but I believe the HDD was less than a gigabyte and the PC had 64 ram... or less LOL! It runs on a "fat" monitor and has no USB's, and the only printer it can use is those old printers with really long end cables, remember them? The computer is really old, and my grandma now has her own acer laptop so basicly she gave me her dinosaur for experiments. Surely no Windows Seven will run on it, but I think I win at the oldest PC competition. Did I mention that it says "Now it's safe to turn off your computer." after the shutdown? It's those click click buttons, yea, that's how old it is!

    Windows 7 on a Dell Latitude C400


    so, here`s my 'oldie':

    i`ve had this laptop for a while, and thought it was about time i bought another laptop with Windows 7 on it.

    to my surprise i came upon this topic, where i found a much better option.

    here`s the specs:

    Dell Latitude C400
    PIII 1200mhz
    512ram (only thing altered)
    the rest is all pretty standard...

    Windows 7 is running, even better then XP

    Dell c400 Video driver issues...

    here`s my screenshot for the specs (before installation of correct video driver (see link above)) and performance:
