I'm afraid less than 4 gigs of ram will give you problems.
how?

Because on our old workstations with less than 4 gigs of ram, we see a large number of hard revit crashes compared to desktops with more. It's my experience.

"we see a large number of hard revit crashes"
i've seen those from train windows too.. and that's proof i was wrong about no problems with revit on any hardware that's working properly and set up properly..

here was my original answer to the original question of this thread: "ANY computer hardware- (that's working properly)- all the way back to a pentium 3- will run revit" (without any problems).. and i'm making a lot of money collecting $1 from everyone taking a pot-shot at my answer- starting with Hub- LOL
i'm done with this thread..

rofl @ pentium 3 with 4gig ram that will run my projects smoothly, HAHAHA,
You just have to wait about 5 days when i load in an updated window familie so it can compute the changes to all 184 windows in this project,

I'm sure you can use a pentium 3 with 4 gb of ram if you are working on mobile homes or maybe like a 1500 sq ft tract home. something with like 8 windows and 8 doors would not be to much for it to handle. Although I'm just guessing.

Boy there is more fighting here than a jerry springer show!!! Bye Vector!
When I was in college 2005, I volunteered to open and close the engineering graphics lab, I worked as a work study, on friday because of the 30 computers, maybe 2 got used by students, so I would open my file on 4-5 computers and start rendering and let them take their time. I know I need a better system, you can't just use a comadore anymore!! thanks for the advice, I'll post more indepth when I have more time....but for now please focus on my question and not the chicken scratch!

Right now Im running Revit 2012 on a 8gb 32 bit windows 7 laptop thats 3 years old. Other architecture students around me are using much newer computers.
I can personally say that you want 8 GB or more for revit. Any less and you run the danger of constant crashes. And while processer doesnt seem to make a BIG difference in Revit(comparing my 3 year old core 2 duo to my friends i5), I would say that the smaller or older processors take longer to update files and start to lag down under large loads.
This winter I will be buying a shiney new 12GB 64bit windows (quad)core i7 computer for my sr thesis project which will be massive. My current computer will never handle it.

That's not been my experience vector, I have seen 2.5 gig duo cores and pentium 4 desktops crash continuously with the out of memory error. Those that had access to more RAM didn't suffer this fate. Though I do agree with the statement that the network is the leading cause of revit slowdown, working in a backward's Bendigo office that wasn't worksharing, refresh of views became very irritating on P4s with 2-3 gig of ram and fairly old VCs we were using.
