I have a 2007 core-duo laptop and wanted to know the system requirements for this OS. What are the minimum requirements.

  • One of my laptops has following specs: Core2Duo T7300 (2x2.0GHz) 4GB RAM (2x2GB DDR2) Intel integrated graphics Mobile GM965 HDD 250GB Intel WLAN and Realtek ethernet Everything works out of the box and quite fast. Try it!

    Note that "Core Duo" is a 32-bit CPU, while "Core 2 Duo" is 64-bit. The 32-bit version of the OS will run on both. Otherwise, I'd recommend the 64-bit OS if you can run it.

  • Can elementary OS run on 1GiB or less CPU/RAM?

    eOS 32bit on a P4 2.6 and Athlon XP 2000+ nVidia mx440 and 1GB DDR 400 requires patience. Desktop taking 15-20% CPU reources idle so bottleneck's on the CPU side. @fleamour's right about any Core2Duo but I'll check a CoreDUO Solo first before going on.

  • These are the recommended specs, not the minimum. eOS runs smoothly on a core2 duo, for example.
