There is a problem when installing these two build when you only have this amount of ram.
when booting from DVD to install you will get memory errors
when installing from within an older version of Vista you get an error saying you have less than 256MB of ram, the system properties confirm this. for me it says "you have 244MB of ram, 256MB is needed"
the workaround i found is to install XP on a fresh hard disk, then install these builds from within XP (which reports your ram as 256MB)
this has only been tested on build 5308 and not on 5270 but i presume it will work the same.
more info can be found of connect ID:31353
hope this helps people who cant install or find info on connects very hard to navigate website.
i would of posted this on neowin but their site sucks(very unfriendly community and no mods with balls to speak of) and id probably be accused of having a pirated copy
