minus-squareGoodtoknow@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up21arrow-down1·1 year agoCould Windows 95 really run well on only 32 megs of RAM?
minus-squareratman150linkfedilinkarrow-up26·1 year agoOfficially the min required amount of ram is 4mb for win95 and 70mb of disk space.
minus-squarethis_1_is_mine@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10·edit-21 year agoJust an fyi minimum for XP is 64mb. But it is totally possible to run a striped down install on 32mb and not have it just abuse the swap space. With a under 120mb install space.
minus-squareLucyLasticlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 year agoI bought it on release (on floppy disks) and it did indeed run on 4mb of ram … it took about 10 mins to boot, and was grinding the disk for swap constantly, but it did run :-) 16mb was plenty for it.
