ReactOS currently only supports the x86 processor architecture, although a PowerPC port is in the planning stage. ReactOS will run on Intel(R) Pentium(R) x64, Intel Xeon(R) x64, AMD(R) Athlon(R) x64 and AMD Opteron(R) processors in 32-bit mode, but the 64-bit functionality of these processors is not currently supported.
See Compatibility Database for a list of supported device drivers.

I have it running on a P166 w/64 MB Ram, and a dual proc AMD 2800MP w/1 GB Ram currently.
I have an old HP Quad proc. (486 DX4-100) I was thinking of bringing down from the attic and trying it on. Wouldn't that be a hoot?

I am really surprised at how many Windows apps. install and work.

I rember those as being clock-tripled 486/33's (I'm convinced that whoever was in charge of naming the 386 and 486 processors suffered from some weird multiple personality disorder),but I'm drawing a blank on quad configurations.

If it runs on that PC hardware, then it should run like a charm on my old Compaq Presario - 667 megahertz processor w/384 MB Ram. Right now I've got Win98SE and Ubuntu Dapper Dan 6.06 LTS running on it now. Wonder if I can have three OS`s installed on one PC? This could be fun. Thanks papasmurf.
