Well just installed P8 onto my ancient 6 year old wallmart $300.00 special (emachines). Has a AMD athlon 1.2ghz with 1gig ram running the onbord video card (nvidia something). I mean this was the CHEAPEST they had 6 years ago. Only use it for the internet. Wont run P7 at all.
Had to update the drivers for the video, install the flash player thing, but hey guess what? P8 runs like a charm no problems at all, Renders with no trouble, and fairly fast considering, even using IL. Seems to me like a big improvement. I suppose I could find a really ancient computer maybe 10 years old or so that could be worse than this one but I'd have to dig in the garbage at goodwill.
