Installing Windows 7 Beta on a Compaq Deskpro

Installing Windows 7 Beta 7000 on a Compaq Deskpro made for Windows 95. It has a 450MHz Pentium 2, 576MB RAM, 8.4GB HDD, ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP video card with 4MB of SGRAM.
Windows 7 reqiurments are a 1000MHz processor and 1024MB of RAM
I would have used a video card capable of Aero but the Compaq had a proprietary video card slot that most cards will not fit in.

@tghbenz99 Thanks. BTW, do you know if the Deskpro EN (933mhz) model supports AGP 8X? Or does it only support AGP 4X? I'm trying to upgrade the video.

How did you get 576MB of RAM on this unit? I thought it has a maximum limit of 512MB?

@talldude123 The later generation P3's with the intel 810 or 815 chipset is limited to 512MB, the older ones with the intel 440 could have 1.5GB or 2GB

Hello im Alex , and was wonder about something . I have a Dell desktop running Windows Me , and a computer running windows 95. Ok the point is can a just put a Windows 7 disk into the computer and it will install , or do I have to buy other stuff for the computer.
By the way that you so much for making the video I subscribed and have a nice day :)

The computer must have atleast 512MB of ram to intstall windows 7, also it must have a DVD drive and a hard drive atleast 8GB in size, the motherboard needs to support ACPI as well or windows will probably bluescreen after its installed.

what sound drivers do you used for this pc?
EdwardmarcX 1 year ago
Win 7 did not support the onboard ESS sound chip so I used a C-Media pci sound card and the XP drivers for it.
