Windows 7 in 1GB Memory

I am actually thinking of buiyn an netbook with 1 gig ram and i have planned to use 7 on it ..i hope it works decent and from what i heard it will work fine.

 

It basically boils down to whether you use 32-bit or 64-bit. 32-bit you can get away with 1GB just fine for light work. 64-bit you'll need more than 1GB to run smoothly.

 

I have 4 GB ram but when I installed win7, It seem 3 GB. why may it be?

 

Wasting your time here when you can get a new RAM stick for the same price as a chicken.. that is amusing

 

it work well

 

Ya, but back when i was into this stuff, it wasn't so cheap
And im glad i found this thread

 

My friend has only slightly more than 1 GB ram and Windows 7 worked fine on it. But he is still using Vista for his main work.

 

You're using a 32-bit version of Windows 7. You need to use the 64-bit version to access the ALL of your 4 GB RAM.

 

cant you extend your RAM, if it is not enough?

 

1 gb its not a recomend for windows 7...just put another 2 gb for the best experience

 

i think u can use windows 7 in 2 GB ram
1 GB not enought

 

Ya i guess 1 GB is sufficient...

 

If you find that you're missing 1GB of RAM from your 4GB, just install a 64bit instead of a 32bit. Same issue with Vista.

 

Are you sure? I didn't notice till now.

 

I'm using Windows 7 with 1GB Ram, it works well!

 

it will run fine...but you won't have any more ram to spare. My win7 takes about 800mb of ram to rum

 

I used to install win7 on my 1 Gb comp and its run fine. but I have to go back to XP because of I cant find some drivers. ^^

 

I have 4gb on Win 7 Ultimate 64bit and still think I could use more.
Dont skimp on memory man. You'll probably need it in the long run

 

1gb is the system requirement for windows 7 so it'll probably work but run faster??? it will also depend on your graphics acceleration.

 

1 GB not enought? 512M can work fine
