I have here a PC magazine from November 2005, where a standard PC doesn't have the required DirectX9 GPU, only half the required RAM and barely 1GHz. The middle class PC doesn't have the required 1GB either. Only the high end PC fulfills all the Windows 7 requirements. So it doesn't run on a 4 years old standard PC without upgrading anything, but of course it could run on a 4 years old PC. |
naw dood, the early amd 64s came out in 2003 and those run win7 great(runs wonderfully on a xp3200 too,) so i don't know what crack you are smoking =P, my x2 4400 is still running on my media pc with an ati card doing the hd decoding (a card i just picked up last year to turn it into a MPC) and has had 2 gigs of ram and 3 gigs at one point for years without costing an arm and a leg, and cheap dx9 video cards hit back in 2004 as well, just gotta build your own machines and I always did. AMD was the way to go back in the days, and those were never high end parts in the old days either.
ps: 4 years ago was 2006 too, it was much more advanced at that point.
