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 tests on another PC.

if i can find the Powersupply-unit, i´m going to test the P1 tomorrow...

Excellent job! I just posted about your test on my blog, as I'm sure a lot of my readers will be interested! Keep us posted for your test on a 166MHz machine (if you find the power supply, that is). =)

Check What does Windows 7 run on? But your experiment beats 'em all!

Btw, thanks ^Stephen

Windows 7 rocks, best OS to date, loving every minute of this experience, it's so smooth I'm not surprised it runs on old systems.
