No joke, check it out.
He ran it on a PC with a 266MHz Pentium II, 128MB of RAM and a 4MB graphics card. Took the antique system 17 hours to install Microsoft?s latest OS, and a patience-shattering 17 minutes to boot. :facewall:

Hey, At least Windows 7 can run at REALLY old computers. Just goes to show how good it is .

Sure, the Boot time and install time took forever, but if it can do that for that low end computer, Anyone should be able to run Windows 7. Which is a good thing.

It took longer than 17-hours for his setup:

There is no mention of install or boot times for the Pentium II system, but other forum members have provided the information for a Pentium III PC. They say it took the antique system 17 hours to install Microsoft’s latest OS, and a patience-shattering 17 minutes to boot.
