A $250 PC that can fly Windows 7

By | May 11th, 2009



Windows 7 guaranteed performance at very low hardware requirements as compared to Windows Vista. Although Windows 7 requirements for hardware are very low, yet I’ve compiled this PC that has hardware almost twice as compared to the requirements of windows 7 hence it provides a very good experience with windows 7. You can also see Windows 7 Requirements.
