@superman4 1gb of RAM is the min requirements and only supports 4gb of RAM. the 64 bit version requires a min of 2gb of RAM and supports 512 / 128 gb of ram depending on pro/stdrd version.

I'd like to say the main os would be closer to the 64bit version since win 8 is optimized for smaller devices in mind, and x1 would require higher graphical integrity, but will have (hopefully) less things running at once requiring less ram.

So I'd speculate the main os would require about 1.5gb of ram with potentially locking out the other 1.5 gb to do the snapping between operations and keep games running smoothly.

 

To infer anything off Windows 8 is starting from a totally wrong position, believe me. You can of course speculate what you want but it won't end anything near reality.
