Will Windows 7 perform "well enough" with 4 gb of DDR3?
I’ve got one box running 6 gb of DDR3. That seems to run well. I’m considering installing on an “older” mobo that will only support 4 gb of DDR3. What are my chances of success?

It runs just fine on 2gigs. I’m not a gamer but it worked great on a i3 with 2gigs and a 9800GT for iTunes and Firefox
@UScitizen I didn’t have any problems when I was running with 4GB. I’m assuming you’re using the 64-bit version?
Yes, 64 bit. That is a large part of why I want to go to 7. TY for the answer(s).
I’m a Mac fanboy and had Windows 7 installed for about a week on my box of parts. Then I installed OS X. A Hackintosh. But Windows 7 is actually a good OS. It is worth it. I want to punch my sisters Vista laptop.
I run Windows 7 64 bit with 4GB DDR3 1333…and it runs perfectly fine…I recently upgraded all my parts, finally decided it was time for a computer makeover.
I run Win7 quite well on my 3GB laptop with plenty of free memory to spare, so I don’t think you’ll have any issues with 4GB.
@johnpowell I wouldn’t stop at just punching it :P
