ReactOS is tegenstelling tot windows behoorlijk kaal (wat ook opzettelijk zo gedaan is). En daarom draait het ook soepel op oude systemen. (Geen fratsen, dat scheelt.)
Even een quote uit de
wiki:
ReactOS Hardware Requirements
Whether installing ReactOS on real hardware or on an emulator, it is important to know the minimum requirements to install and use ReactOS:
- 32MB RAM (NOTE: ReactOS version 0.2.7 and higher require a minimum of 64 MB of RAM to install, because of a bug in the first-stage installer)
- IDE harddisk
- FAT16/FAT32 boot partition
- VGA compatible video card
- Standard (PS/2) keyboard
- PS/2 compatible mouse or Microsoft Mouse compatible serial mouse
Furthermore, if you want to try TCP/IP networking, one of the following ethernet cards may work:
- NE2000 clones
- cards based on the Realtek8139 chipset
Other cards might also work, if you provide the appropriate driver.
