Would this Computer...
I'm getting info's for my poor college friend. Would her HP Mini 1100 MI run Windows 7 alright?

She's got the version that's got a 16GB hd, 1GB of ram. She doesn't know any other specs though.

RE: Would this Computer...
1GB of RAM is pushing it. It would probably run it, but it would run other things slowly.

when I was running 7, there would be times where I would boot up, and be using more than 1GB of RAM.

oh, and 7 takes up about 11GB, so a 16GB HDD isn't nearly enough either.

Oh man, that sucks. I know that it would take alot of strength to run 7, but I didn't know it would be that much. Too bad.

RE: Would this Computer...
id say just run with xp
lol, or else put some more ram in there and get a larger hard drive. (but that's probably not a good idea unless youve done it before and you know that the machine can handle more)

Well I could do that for her, but its not really worth it. Especially with how small it is. And yeah, she's running XP

Windows 7 lags quite a bit on my netbook.  Stripped XP works well though.
(can't really strip that much from Windows 7)
