Windows7 Rc, have you got yours?
Posted: 6/14/2009 7:01:19 PM | I've loaded the RC on 3 machines so far, and have been playing around with 7 since the leaked pre-beta releases. I've been *very* impressed with the performance so far, as well as the stability of a non production-release OS (from Microsoft, of all companies).
Test Subjects:
Machine #1: Desktop PC
Athlon 64 3400+
1GB RAM
160GB SATA HD
ATi Radeon Xpress 200 graphics (RS482 chipset)
Machine #2: Dell Latitude D620 notebook
Core Duo T2300
1GB RAM
60GB HD
nVidia Quadro NVS110M Graphics
Intel 945 chipset
Machine #3: Acer AspireOne AOA150, 8.9" LCD
Intel Atom N270 CPU
1GB RAM
120GB 1.8" HD
Intel 945GM chipset
Results are as follows:
Machine #1: no drivers available for chipset/graphics. They are not included with the OS, and Vista drivers did not work. ATi has discontinued driver development for this chipset. Was not able to test further.
Machine #2: A RAM bump might be beneficial, but it runs admirably on 1GB. It is still loaded.
Machine #3: It came preloaded with Windows XP Home. 7 feels faster, and boots twice as quickly as XP. | | | |
