Below are the Windows 7 minimum requirements:
- 1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
- 1GB of main memory
- 16GB of available disk space
- Support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
- A DVD-R/W drive
Most of the PCs right now should have the specifications above and by the time Windows 7 launches and they still keep the requirements, the new operating system should do well.
I first take a look of the windows 7 beta allmost 2 mouths ago. It was perfect. then I try the windows 7 build 7600 x64 ultimate. A way better. and so, now I buy windows 7 x64 ultimate the final retail version from a pc store in my town, and I’d say that microsoft has take back the costumers that lost with vista.
It’s the best os ever. I had the chanse to take a look on “mac os x leopard”
I don’t like it at all. I’m used to a microsoft os and i’ll never changet it for some apple sh..t
Those system requirements are relatively low compared to Windows Vista. They’re comparable to WinXP to be honest. I keep hearing how efficient the re-built windows kernel is and want to give it a good testing (or a decent thrashing depending on how stable it is). I hear from our IT group here at work that it’s as stable, if not more stable, than XP and more visually appealing than Vista.
Backward-Compatability has always been an issue with windows from the very beginning. I’m ready to take a whack at it to see if all of my xp programs will run as smooth, if not smoother, on Win7. I wonder if it’ll run my old GeForce 7300SE graphics card?…
I plan to install Win7 on my monster pc: ASUS P5NE-SLI, Intel Core2 Quad 6600, 2x 1gb Crucial 667 (pc5300) ram, hitachi 10,000rpm 500gb sata drive, 20x dvd+-/DVD-RAM burner, currently running WinXPSP3 & Ubuntu8.10 in Multi-Boot (GRUB).
firstly no one cared how many processors u have, secondly we’re not talking about Vista, we’re talking about windows 7 which is more lighter, faster and beautiful than vista and yes it easily runs on Pentium III, all u need is 512 MB Ram and 20 GB of Partition and it’ll load and run just fine
minor point – swap file won’t be any faster if it is on a different partition the same physical hard drive as the OS and Data…
no. its not works. sorry…………… min 1 GB ram is requerd.
yup ur right.
nooooooooooooooo
I got it working on an old laptop with a 1.1Ghz centrino and 512 ram. I had to install the xp driver for wifi and there were some issues with the graphical driver. I didn’t use it much to fully test it though.
