Hi
To run Windows 8 Enterprise, you need to have the minimum requirements below.
System requirements:
1. A minimum of 1GHz processor, the faster is the better.
2. A Minimum RAM capacity of 1GB for 32-bit, and 2GB RAM for 64-bit, as the higher is the better, 2GB RAM is recommended for both OSs.
3. The Minimum free Disk space is 16 GB for 32-bit, and up to 20GB for 64-bit.
4. For the graphics processing, DirectX 10 device with WDDM 1.0 or higher is required.
If you intend to use Windows 8 Enterprise edition you do better to provide highest HW configuration as the enterprise edition will make use of it for very high performance.
Thanks.
