Along with the release of the Windows 7 release candidate came new system requirements for Microsoft's next operating system. This updated set of requirements has been declared final, making them the official system requirements for Windows 7 final. Seeing Microsoft's rather... Dubious past dealings with minimum system requirements, let's take a look at Windows 7's.

these are tehe minimum for any eddition above starter or home basic.
I have home basic running on a P3 with Intel extreme graphics 2 (cringe) 256 rambus ram, and a 20 gig HDD.
Here's the kicker, it runs fast! not as fast as 98SE ran on it, but fairly close (slighlt amount of tweaking required to make it run smoothly to the point that it is comfortably useable).
anything that needs Areo interface and such, well, the posted specs are about right.
