Hello I am new here what are the system minimum specs
as I have old system for development.
A development machine (one that can build ReactOS and test in a VM) should have decent
specs. You're going to want at least a dual-core, preferably 4 or more cores to get
anything built in decent time. To give you some numbers, my Core i5-2500K @ 4.1 GHz an 8
GB of RAM can build ReactOS in around 10 minutes. My laptop's 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with
6 GB of RAM builds ReactOS in about 25 minutes, but keep in mind both systems build off an
SSD. I had a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 HT box at one point and if memory serves, it took over an
hour and a half to build ReactOS. Anything slower than that and you're looking at
several hours of build time.
If you're really looking for testing machine (one that can run ReactOS natively)
specs, you can run pretty much anything with a Pentium I or above. You're going to
want at least 128 MB of RAM.
