Installing Windows 7 (Build 7000) on a Pentium III (P3) PC
After testing Windows 7 (Build 7000) on a PC with only 128Mb of memory successfully, i decided to take it to the next level - Installing it on an old Pentium P3 PC that i have laying around. It is an old Compaq Deskpro-EN SFF Pentium 3 PC. I changed the hardisk to a faster Ultra-DMA 100 IDE 30Gb seagate harddisk, upgrade the CPU to a 1.13Ghz P3, up the memory size to 384Mb & changed the CD-ROM drive to a DVD-ROM drive. No other PCI cards was added. I powered on the PC and placed the Windows 7 installation DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and started the installation.

Windows 7 (Build 7000) minimum memory to run
The minimum memory recommendations is 1Gb of system memory as stated on the microsoft windows 7 beta download web site.

Check it out!! 128Mb of main memory is all you need to get it up and running. But running Windows 7 beta with that kind of memory is quite slow and not really productive. 96Mb of main memory was also tested, but it crashed while attempting to boot up. This is a far improvement over windows vista which is a resource monster. Next up - Windows 7 beta running on a Pentium 3 PC. Stay tune....
