Maybe. I did the beta and RC on a box with a Xeon 3000 2.13GHz CPU, 4 GB RAM and a 80 GB hard drive and went through a few installs without any problems.
Downloaded the RTM code and tried to install on the same box and it wouldn't install. Kept failing about not meeting requirements. After much wondering finally looked at the requirements listed on the DVD. CPU was bumped to 2.66GHz. Hmmmm, when did that change. Put in a 2.80GHz CPU and the install went through just fine. Kind of a pain having to get a new CPU just to run it in the office with just a couple of users. I don't remember anyone on the beta forums trying it out on less. Most recommend more RAM. Several have virtualized SBS2008 on VMware and Hyper-V with no or few issues.

Has anyone installed the trial version on something less then the minimum requirements listed on their webpage? They are listing 4GB RAM and 60GB Hard Disk space. Will it absolutely refuse to install if you have less? Since I want to learn this code, I was thinking about virtualizing it on my laptop; hence it has to run on less then that. Maybe 2gb of RAM and 30GB hdd space I can spare, so, anyone tried that out yet? Phillip Partipilo Parametric Solutions Inc.
