    Windows 7 on a Cyrix MII


    Just for fun, I want to attempt to install Windows 7 on a computer that does not meet the official minimum system requirements.

    Specs of this PC:

    Cyrix MII @ ~300 MHz
    768 MB (256 x 3) 100 MHz SDRAM (not DDR)
    ATI Rage 128 AGP graphics card
    80 GB SATA HDD (upgraded, with PCI card for the SATA)

    I put the specs of most concern in bold. As for the video card, I can upgrade that if need be. What I'm really wondering is... can the Cyrix II even process the instructions for Windows 7 (albeit extremely slowly, of course) or is its instruction set simply too old?

    It is probably too old, but you can try it for fun it won't do any harm.
