That barely enough just to run Windows 7. You'll need a minimum of 2 Gig on that....the more the better.

Hi Ron and Tom,

I have a net book with XP that is similar in specs. While it will work with lower time bases with lower sampling or block mode. It is not up to the task of running the high time base and sampling rates. So while it will work barely it is not going to work where you probably are going to want to use it the most.
