[luciusad2004]

VIA C7 at 1.5ghz
512 mb ram
onboard unicrome video

Also my laptop
AMD QL62 2ghz
4gb ram
9600gt

Amazingly, the crap VIA test system boots up 7 quicker then my laptop will boot up vista. Both are using the same external hard drive when I was running the tests. Of course, the laptop will boot 7 much quicker then the VIA but thats not the point, it just shows how much of a waist vista is.

But is the laptop bogged down with a bunch of extra crap? A clean installation will always be the fastest unless you remove all of the unnecessary stuff.

I'm running 7 on an added 80Gb IDE drive on the system in My System. Aero seems to work fine with the occasional lag. My tuner card finally has a decent program to run it (Media Center) and will actually record shows! I've installed a bunch of programs including AVG Free and it's still waaaayyyy faster than Vista x64.

My Windows test system has:

Athlon X2 4400+
4GB RAM
Radeon HD 4830

[Collinstheclown]

Running x64 version:

Foxoconn Destroyer
AMD Phenom II 920 (2.8GHz)
1gig of RAM (waiting on RMA then it'll be 8gigs)
80gig WD SATA 2 Drive
Dual 9800GT's not in SLI
Driving 3 19" non-widescreen LCDs
650 Antec Earthwatt PSU

Runs like a beast, even with 1gig of RAM. Thats with no aero, but as soon as my good RAM comes in I'll be set.

Got the RMA. Went from
Processor: 7.2
RAM: 4.5
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming Graphics 5.9
Primary HDD: 5.4

To:
Processor: 7.2
RAM: 7.4
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming Graphics 5.9
Primary HDD: 5.3

I need to get a better HDD, maybe a SSD.

When Windows 7 comes out, I'm switching to linux. Forget paying 200 bucks for another operating system.

I want to buy it but doubt I'll be able to afford it; I imagine once Microsoft nukes the beta (shortly b4 the release date of course), I'll be reinstalling Ubuntu.

Can anyone link me to a Windows 7 iso download? I've got a beta key, but MS has pulled the download link!
