I have it running on a 486 with 64 MB of RAM. OK, doesn't do USB, PnP and all that, but it runs. And, if memory serves me correct, only uses about 100 MB of disk space.
I just wonder where the hell we are gong with IT.
My company i7 with 3GB and win7 is now, probably due to a mixture of windows updates and McAfee, incapable of playing a vid on you tube (with both IE or Chrome) while running a VirtualBoxVM that uses half the PCs resources.
That's just pathetic.

They put men on the moon in the sixties using 48 KB
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

I've run Win10 on some pretty crappy systems and it's been great.

I am pretty convinced it is a piece of sh*t.

As an embedded guy I'm fairly certain anything that uses more than 640K is classed in your book as excessive, overblown tripe full of needless bells and whistles that interfere with the process of actually getting the job done.
You're a tough crowd.

Yeah. Shame really, if it wasn't for the a**hole writing viruses we wouldn't need this kind of crap in the system.

And how's your 486 handling that video? Or VM? Or McAfee?
You may be able to run NT with 64MB of RAM and 100MB of disk space, but you're giving that i7 much more demanding jobs.
PS - give that poor i7 more RAM if you want it to perform adequately.

Of course, it isn't going to run great video, and its an ISA bus system anyway, but the fact is it runs on a 486 with a small foot print.

Yeah? HOw much more do you reckon it needs to work properly?

Depends what you use it for. You're running VMs, so right there demand will grow pretty quickly. You'll probably want to give the VM itself at least 4GB, unless you want it to start paging as soon as it starts doing anything serious. Same with the host, so you're talking 8GB at a minimum.
When I started using VMs for my day-to-day work, it didn't take long before I moved from 8 to 16, then 32, and now 64. YMMV of course, but generally as soon as you have at least one VM, 8 should be your absolute minimum. Otherwise, if the host isn't going to be paging to disk, the guest will, and both will suffer.

According to the rules
"1.3 If you are not able to set one the next day, don't solve it or delegate it (Ask someone to post for you). Do not delegate to the poster of this day."
I surely can do my own but that aint yours then :P
