^ Exactly. Motherboads will not boot without ram, let alone start windows.

You will get three beeps (assuming you have a motherboard speaker) if you try to boot with no ram.

Some VERY OLD computers had a small amount of on-board RAM and could boot.

This is not true today. You need a certain amount of hardware RAM for the OS and any expansion cards to load and function.
