It has been a long time since I cared about minimum specs. Most of my PCs (since the bad-old-days of Vista) are far above minimum and I try (very hard) to keep my clients above that as well. I came across an article as I was doing my daily readings and the specs shocked me – a lot. Here they are:
CPU – 1 GHz
RAM – 2GHz
HDD 16-20Gb
These specs have barely moved since Windows 7 was released. For fun here are some facts that surprised me greatly
- Windows 7 was released Oct 22 2009 – it has been 7 years since Win 7 came out!
- the Specs are: CPU 1GHz, RAM 1GHz and HDD 16-20GB. Barely moved since then
- Vista minimum requirements are the same as well. This means that since Nov 8 2006 specs have not changed all that much – that is almost a decade!!
Wow.
