Key Points

  • If the software company requires a minimum of 1 GB RAM to run their new Operating System (OS) software, attempting to install this OS on a computer with 1 GB RAM will likely cause the system to run extremely slowly, freeze, crash or even fail to start at all.
  • Running an OS with insufficient memory can result in several issues, including insufficient resources to perform tasks, slow response times, and an overall degraded system performance.
  • It is important to note that the recommended 2 GB RAM is what the software company suggests for optimal performance, and even then, other hardware requirements and considerations should be taken into account.

Hence, the correct answer is that the computer will not run at its optimum performance.
