Found it here on MDSN forum.

Hardware requirements WES 2011, as per CTP documentation , (these are unlikely to change dramatically for RTM)

The embedded device must meet or exceed the following requirements:

  • 1 GHz x86 or amd64 processor
  • 512 MB of system memory (1GB recommended for amd64)
  • 900 mhz CPU or equivalent
  • 1 GB free space on hard disk drive (HDD) or flash-based Solid State Drive (SSD) (4 GB recommended)
  • At least one of the following bootable media types:
  • Bootable DVD-ROM drive
  • Bootable USB 2.0 port and a USB Flash Drive (UFD) with 4 GB of free space, or access to a local network
  • BIOS Supporting Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 3.0

Go to this page, and select a scenario from the drop down box.

It will take you to a page and show you the recommended product, along with the relevant specification required for the product.

Thanks for the link - I've been there before. All it tells you for Standard is the CPU type and 560 megabyte size at the smallest. – Alex Mar 13 '11 at 1:13
