i.e Vista or 7.... can it be done?
There are some accounts of windows 7 using only 250-ish MB on startup, which is plausible. I've tried Vista, but it was Ultimate, not, say, Basic, and it was sluggish and annoying. :\
does the edition have any impact on resource hogging? I've got XP going right now, which is all good, but I want to try 7 to see if it's going to be of any benefit.
For the record, my CPU is in the requirements: I did have 7 on 1GB on this computer, but then one of the RAM modules died. The graphics chip does not support WDDM, so I don't care about that.
My only question is, has anyone run it nicely on 512MB of RAM?
