Hi,

I have Acer 5611 WLMI Laptop, Intel Core Duo, T2050, 1.66GHz (FSB: 533MHz), 15.4TFT, WXGA Crystal Brite, 1024MB DDR II RAM (2x 512), 80GB (5400rpm) HDD, Super Multi DVD-RW Double Layer, 6-cell Lion, 56K modem, Wired & Wireless Lan 802.11a/b/g, 128MB shared Grafics.

I want to know, can my laptop run window 7 after upgrade to 2gb / 4gb RAM. To run window 7, which one is recommended 2GB or 4GB RAM?

Thanks for your all the help in the regard.

You need a minimum of 2GB for Win 7, however 4GB would be even better. I'm running 2GB myself. But this is a new HP MS214. It would be best to follow Kenny's advice regarding this. Make sure that you have ALL accessories plugged in during the test. This is the only way to determine if your system is ready. The large majority of Win 7 users who are having problems are those who are upgrading an older system. In many cases (mine as well), it cost less to buy a new PC with Win 7 preinstalled. There are many new laptops in the $350-$475 range with lots of memory, large hard drive, and other accessories with Win 7 installed. The lowest cost Win 7 is Home Premium for $179 to $199. Pro and Ultimate are a lot higher. So look at all of your options before deciding what to do. It may save you a lot of headaches if you do. Good Luck, and whatever you do, enjoy Windows 7

Microsoft says Windows 7 uses 512MB RAM for the O/S and recommends having an additional 512MB RAM for the user (general purpose). So, Microsoft says the minimum RAM requirement is 1GB. However, with RAM, more is better...

(Get these facts right off Microsoft.com)

I run 512MB on Windows 7 Ultimate just fine, but yes 1 gig of ram I would recommend for windows 7.
