You could technically boot it… Not for long, and don’t open anything, but still counts, right?

concidering they were shipping windows 11 systems on 4 gigs of ram and selling it, I expect it won’t change much. They worked like shit but they still sold. You make it cheap enough people will buy it regardless of flaws or speed.

Often the people that buy those tiers of computers don’t know enough about memory to know how limited they’d be.

Swap is a thing. It’ll kinda suck, but not as much as it would have pre-nvme. Except that now there’s an nvme shortage… and an SSD shortage.
Ugh, I guess I’ll just put Windows 2000/ME on there to complete the retro look.

One is good, but slower, the other is more buggy than 98SE, but a bit faster. Not much in common between them other than year.

I donlt think that the NVMe shortage is that big of a deal in terms of using it for swap. It’s much cheaper than DRAM per GB.
