Re: windows7 - min RAM
Yes, the minimum requirement of Windows 7 is 1 GB. However try in 512 MB, I think it should work. Yes, I did some googling and it should work. (but slow )

Re: windows7 - min RAM
win 7 works on 512 mb. But you have to switch off AERO effects to get acceptable perfomance.

Re: windows7 - min RAM
I have run Vista with 256mb ram.......cant use it sluggish at best using even classic theme and lowest settings.
Min ram is 512mb I guess. Someone ran Windows 7 on pentium 2.....Took 17min to boot

Re: windows7 - min RAM
hehe.
The minimum ram to run win7 in full glory without slowness is 1Gb. When you turn off aero, it will be 512meg.

Re: windows7 - min RAM
Thanks friends.
I registered on the windows 7 RC download site and tried to download, but it keeps giving some error right at the start of download!!
Except ‘Error’ there’s no other message. Has MS stopped allowing any further downloads of Win 7 RC?

Re: windows7 - min RAM
I hear Windows 7 Indeed DOES run on 1GB RAM since its officially stated by MS, though they recommend it only for 32bit edition. 64bit edition needs 2GB. But I guess for aero you need a GPU which is ATLEAST as strong as Intel GMA 950.
On configuration like mine (sig rig) you are better off without Aero.

Re: windows7 - min RAM
Is anyone having Youtele Broadband Internet connection and has tried to download Windows 7 RC.
I notice that download error comes only when I am on Youtele. It downloads from my Airtel MO connection.
All other settings including antivirus, firewall etc are just the same.
