    System Specifications


    Hi folks,

    Just out of curiosity, what is the lowest-spec system anyone has managed to install W7 beta build 7000 on, and what has been your experience? By lowest-spec, I mean lower than the following:
    Microsoft said:



    Minimum recommended specs call for:
    • 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor
    • 1 GB of system memory
    • 16 GB of available disk space
    • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)
    • DVD-R/W Drive
    • Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates)

    I'm sure it's not the lowest possible, but here goes:

    ASUS EEE-PC 4G
    Celeron M 353 @ 630Mhz
    512MB RAM
    4GB SSD
    i915GM 8MB VRAM (Support for DirectX 9 yes, but no WDDM drivers, hence no Aero)
    vlited Build 7000

    Well, it works...:)
    Feels pretty much the same as XP did.
    Bottleneck here is definitely the small SSD. (But to be fair, even my XP installs managed to fill that up^^)
