Windows 7 on Pentium III

[Astalavista]

Someone already tested it with Pentium III? Therefore use the XP on it, but as everyone is saying it is faster on Pentium III, I wonder if anyone has tested it, this type of computer. Since the Pentium III has 1 gig of memory DIMM 133 and processor 1 gig.

Probably run but should be rather slow ...

You can install that will run, depends also on the videocard is, if plate off, the better.

Here is I have a P-III 850 Mhz, 768 Mb Ram and only 64 MB videocard .

Give only to know how the system, is slow, especially with anti-virus installed.

The big question is mine, all talk that it is faster than Windows XP. Is it really ??? Does it work very well as Windows XP runs on Pentium III???

[Rudra.J]

Thats a stupid question! Windows 7 won't Run on PIII

Windows 7 Minimum Requirement :

• 1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
• 1GB of main memory
• 16GB of available disk space
• Support for DX9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
• A DVD-R/W drive

Windows 7 Can install But performance reduced

[MXEXTRA2004]

Of course it works. I've just installed it on a Pentium III @1.4Ghz w/512MB of RAM and RADEON Video card w/128 Mb . Windows 7 works good with this configuration, it uses less than 360MB od RAM and I haven't noticed any reduction of performance. As I can't install more RAM on my mother board I'll try to upgrade my Video Card to a 512 MB Saphire and tell you how much Windows 7 Performance improves. (I can tell you it works good because I also installed it on a Athlon X2 machine and I can compare them).
