Re: [chromium-discuss] Chromium system requirements?

[PhistucK]

I believe Chrome and Chromium share the same system requirements -

https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/7100626?hl=en

So if you can run the operating system, you should, in theory, be able to run Chrome/Chromium.

With that aside, 64 MB RAM is probably not enough. You will not be able to load GMail with that much RAM, for example. I think the browser itself needs at least 100 MB without even showing a page.

But if you have a big swap/page file, maybe it will still work, but very slowly (unless you have a very fast SSD).

I have 4GB of ram, the 64mb is my vram.

And by vram I mean Video-Ram

[PhistucK]

I guess hardware acceleration will simply not be employed, instead, the browser will use the CPU.

So I should be able to run the Chromium browser with 4gb of RAM?

[PhistucK]

I believe so.

System requirements

• A 64-bit Intel machine with at least 8GB of RAM. More than 16GB is highly recommended.
• At least 100GB of free disk space on an NTFS-formatted hard drive. FAT32 will not work, as some of the Git packfiles are larger than 4GB.
• An appropriate version of Visual Studio, as described below.
• Windows 7 or newer.

I found this on the chromium site, but those are the specs you need to build Chromium not to generaly use it right?

Those requirements are only for building Chromium, correct.

I have a Windows 7/Core i3/4 GB RAM/non-SSD hard drive machine with some Intel graphics (something lame, I reckon) and I run Chrome. It is not great (the machine is slow in general), but it works.
