    Currently I have Win7 running on:

    IBM Thinkpad T42
    IBM Thinkpad T40
    Desktop with Abit KN9 mobo, AMD64 x2 6400+ CPU, 4GB RAM

    Will attempt to install it on my old but goodie IBM T23, as I read somewhere someone got it to run nicely on that old thing.

    If you got Win7 running on old or oddball hardware, why not share your experiences? :)

    LOL @ the posts

    Keep 'em coming...I'm sure there are people who practically shoehorned Win7 on some radical hardware and want to share how they did it :)

    I have a P4 3.0GHz system with an nVidia 6800 GS plus 2GB RAM and an 80GB SATA disk so installed Win7 Pro on it...runs great! Experience Index of 4.3
