On windows xp most ram you will get is 3gb,i have also 2 computers using a dual core 2 ghz
and 2 motherboard boards using a atom 1.67 ghz with 3 gig ram for my omnibot projects
all using EZB SOFTWARE and working great
So on yours i would get 1 gig of ram more
also a couple of ideas to get more speed from your computer,resources and programs take up alot of cpu power and ram (easy test is bring up windows task manager )it will tell you how much memory is used and cpu load
Now for the fix one is easy use a program like XPLITE OR OVERCLOCK THE CPU
on overclocking is very hard need to watch the temperature of cpu to not over heat it
or like i use is cooling system for my cpu,can overclock some until temperature is ok
On XPLITE it removes programs not needed and resources (can also use programs in windows xp to cut down on resources) but XPLITE does it better and safely
Can also be done on windows 7,but i found out by much testing that windows xp is faster if using the same cpu and ram for both.64 bit windows yes is much much faster,but uses more wattage (battery current) ,just about all robot companies willonly use windows xp or linux in thier robot design
none use windows 7 at all for that reason
@kudo48pa that isn't a question i would like to guess at answering. The operating system is your concern, not ARC. the OS determines how the software will run. There is memory management using virtual memory and physical.
harddrive you want to use is about double of your programs you have on it like operating system
so you need to keep your harddrive only half full to get full use of virtual memory
virtual memory is when the main memory is used up and it uses part of the harddrive to add memory to your program
for the ISO image you need about 50 mb or more for EZB ,then the operating system maybe a gig ,for system ,drivers and VBNET and other stuff plus about 1gig of hard drive for virtual memory
so i go with atleat 3 gig to 5 gig of hard drive space for the ISO IMAGE
more the better

what is the lightest os ez_builder could run on(~100 mega bytes of hdd size)

i mean i would use ez_builder in a virtual box so i need an iso image of an os that would run ez_builder don't mind interface at all
are you running virtual box on a linux machine
yeap
