    Intel Pentium 4 1.3GHz
    Intel Integrated chipset (so it, it can't run videos smoothly, let alone aero)
    50GB Ribbon Cable HD
    256MB of ValuRAM (Unsure of the size or speed, that's just a guess. one of the sticks died, Though)
    Generic MoBo

    I think I beat it!

    I believe I did.

    How on earth is that possible that you crammed it onto a dinosaur with 96MB of RAM...

    Looks like Windows 7 needs at least 100-128 MB RAM to boot up and function.... I have tried and succeeded running 7 in Virtual box with 100 MB RAM. Any less than that will BSOD while booting...

    Wow this is pretty impressive.. I had a P1@75Mhz someplace, that was a zooming chip back in the day. The real test would be a 486

    hi !

    W7 runs on a P2 with 266MHz CPU, 96MB RAM & 4Mb graphic card !

    i have done 3 tests: 2 successfull...
    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...

    Well, I guess this guy might win........
    I'm shocked to the core.......
