Re: [orca-list] Windows and vmware player

[Krishnakant Mane <krmane gmail com>]

This is what I recommend,
At least have 4 gb ram on your machine if you by any chance wish to run 
Windows.
Then if you wish to put windows 7 home premium it needs at least 1 gb 
ram, 2 gb is recommended.
I just got a 6 gb ddr3 machine with intel I5 processor.
It came with Windows 7 (obviously I deleted windows).
Happy hacking.
