I am looking forward to buy a netbook with windows 7 ; I?ve
seen lots of configurations for Notebooks and Desktops , going from
2GB to 8 GB RAM
Of course more RAM is ok ; The thing is I want an
acceptable computer , and the most I?ve seen announced is 2 GB RAM
I know it will probably run Windows 7 ; but is 2 GB an
acceptable number ? Supposing a buy a computer with a Core 2 Duo
processor and having in mind that I don?t care for games or graphics
at all is the above configuration OK ?
Thanks a lot

Using Windows 7 on the same configuration - everything seems to work OK.
Just to inform you in simple terms: - 32 bit version of Windows cannot
utilise over 4GB of RAM in any case - 64 bit can use much more.

Yes, 2GB of RAM will be more than adequate to run Windows 7.

That's an oversimplification.
Computers with an integrated graphics device that share main memory need
more.

And that's also an over-simplification. Depends what the machine is
generally used for...

IMHO - when you get to 2gb and Core 2 Duo - you're not talking about a
netbook any more.

Here is another oversimplification.
Windows 7 32 bit: 2 to 3 GB RAM
Windows 7 64 bit: starting at 4GB

Dunno - although my Netbook isn't dual core it HAS got 2GB RAM.... :-)

If the OP does not care for graphics and games, perhaps he can
configure the BIOS so that the graphics subsystem uses the
minimum amount of RAM and Windows gets as much as possible,
optimizing whatever resources the PC has. More than 2GB is
needed if the PC has integrated graphics that uses shared RAM
and the user wants Windows to have at least 2GB. Saga

I run Win7 in 1GB of RAM and it runs quite nicely. Just make sure you
don`t load it up with too much stuff and control the startups.
