How low can ya go?

[AntimatterAsh]

Just thought I'd ask, who can get their OS running on as little power and resource usage as possible? This is a Single Core Pentium 4 XP Home x32 with 512 MB of RAM, just the core operating system and a few necessary services, I have got it running at just under 100mb of RAM, can you get lower?

No need to try. I have 8GB of ram

I have a computer somewhere that only have 512 kB ram installed. It runs fine.

Kilobites?!!

Woah that is ancient.. 0.o

I thought this one was bad, it only has 512mb! What OS have you got on it?!

(Funny story, I managed to put windows 7 on here... it lagged even when nothing was open but they run it on these at school... the graphics for example are wayyyy better, and its just an onboard GPU!) Still pretty good computer, got it for free since my school was just going to bin it. Haha

I'm a Microsoft Kid... what is that?

It is an Amiga 500. It is priceless. Kickstart is what powers it when you turn it on.
