| 750716 | 2009-02-23 19:50:00 | I got my PC World yesterday with the Windows 7 beta disk. I tried to install under Virtual PC on my main PC that has 1.5gig of ram running under WinXP. The install kept coming back saying "Insufficient memory to install" | paulw (1826) | ||
| 750717 | 2009-02-23 20:01:00 | I'm running Windows 7 on 768MB of RAM on my old Dell P4 machine. Check the hard drive space on the VPC. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 750718 | 2009-02-23 20:20:00 | I've installed Win 7 on a Pentium 3 with 512MB of RAM and it "runs". How much RAM have you given the virtual PC? How much HD space? |

| 750720 | 2009-02-24 01:04:00 | i've looked at the specs needed for Win7 and it says 512mb ram Therefore I'd double it. maybe quadruple. Look what it says for XP. Runs like a dog on less than 512mb. |
