[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1099688, member: 393358"] ^^^ lol, great test. Had a 1 GB samsung netbook battle going on years ago, w7 ...only real practical use was as a big, lumpy mp3 player :O) although some webbrowsing was sometimes quite tolerable (not firefox, IE used a little less resources and worked somehow). XP, like originally designed for, would have been quite ok. As experienced, 1GB, hd, celeron, atom + modern OS = constantly swap like crazy to hd, very interesting test to see with ssd instead of hd, would still swap a lot during boot and opening of programs, but maybe 10+ times faster, could make all the difference from nearly useless to tolerable for certain applications. My contribution to the lowest of pckind, currently running w10 enterprise (ltsc) on a far from modern 2014 Dell Latitude, i5, 8GB, 256GB msata (boot, os) + 1 TB hd. It flies for all kinds of daily use. Boot to desktop: 12 sec, 1.1 GB mem in use. No problems getting all needed drivers, everything works. But without the ssd much would have turned into melasse.
