Would it be workable to put Windows 7 on an old AMD Athlon XP 2200+ (1.8 GHz) with 736 MB of RAM? Or would this be really slow?
What are the experiences with a comparable system? (I am not interested in Aero stuff, etc.)
Update: After reading the answers, I decided NOT to install Windows 7. I reinstalled Windows XP instead.
why would you want to do this? – davr – 2009-12-21T02:01:08.850
@davr: the pc has xp on it for 5 years, but is getting dead slow (no surprise, I've never encountered a system running XP for so long), so a reinstall of XP is necessary anyway. Was wondering if Win7 wouldn't be a good option if I had to the the reinstall anyway... – Rabarberski – 2009-12-21T14:33:21.563
"Was wondering if Win7 wouldn't be a good option if I had to the the reinstall anyway". not on this system, it wouldn't. stick to XP or upgrade the system memory to 2 GB, RAM is cheap. – None – 2009-12-23T00:28:29.103
