Any decent computer chumps can run Win7 on the latested and fastest hardware.  It takes a pro (a patient one) to tweek it to run on older hardware!  Congratulations and good luck with P1 quest!

When people say they can run W7 on P3 or lesser procs, do they mean they can boot AND run apps?

 Without any hacking at all, i am running Windows 7 RC on a Pentium III with 512 MB of ram, the only add-on i have is i am running a FX5500 Graphics. Either way, i am attempting to get Vista or 7 to run on my Intel Celeron Desktop, its 266 MHz with 192 MB of RAM

 

I am saving up for a new PC here are the stats of my current PC that i got for X-Mas in 2002!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     Pentium III--1 GHz, 512 MB

This is interesting. I'm having trouble getting (nvidia/ trident/ ati ) drivers for a P4 system to run on Fedora 10 and a resolution beyond standard VESA. Is he having better luck?

Does that mean that my Pentium III should be able to run Windows 7 even though I only have 512MB of RAM?

... Surprised it didn't give a fraction of a score like a 0.3, or something.

it would be very funny if the 1.0 score ended up being a 4.0 or higher with the most minimal system he could muster up. i hope Microsoft changes their box info and look at something like this, and change their minimum requirements list to reflect this newfound amazement.
