Many users have asked me how well Windows Seven works with 512MB RAM. Before I continue, I want to state that although I do not recommend using 512MB RAM, it works… as long as you’re willing to be patient.
After conducting several non-scientific tests and after using Windows7, with 512MB RAM, for several hours on end, I can say it works well enough. Yes, you may get some slow downs and yes, everything isn’t instant; however, it works much better than Vista would on 512MB and nearly as good as XP (in my opinion.)
Are you sitting on the fence an not sure whether to try Windows 7? Have you downloaded it, but feel a little lost? Are you using it and want to know about some of the new features? Or… do you just not care? If I just described you… speak up!
At Windows Guides, we are here to help! If you have a question, I’m sure you’re not the only one. Ask it in a comment here, or use our resources under “I’m a Little Lost” below.

“I Don’t Care about Windows 7″
I wont hold it against you… honest.
I have an installation of Windows 7 running really well, on 512MB RAM*, without any problems at all. I must say: “I am very impressed by this operating system.”
UPDATE: More information on running Windows 7 on 512MB RAM under normal use here.
See the task manager performance log below to see how the resources are being used. If you have an older system running on Windows XP (because Vista requires too much of the system), you may want to try Windows 7.
