<div dir="ltr">Hey, I have a few VMs ready on standby, I'm going to take a few tests first of all with 512MB, 1GB and 2GB RAM for starters and I'll take a few screenshots of performance manager etc... I think we should also look into the amount of video memory required aswell as this is another common feature that old computers lack.<div>

</div></div>Thanks for bringing this up again, Ali did some tests back in July,<br>
the current bug report on the issue is here:<br>

<br>
It would be great if we could get some more tests run against both<br>
12.04 and 13.10 to determine where we stand today and make updates<br>
accordingly. Is anyone able to spin up some VMs to determine where we<br>
stand?<br>
