what stats are you running windows 7 with

[luciusad2004]

Just out of curiosity, those of your running windows Seven what are the stats of the comp you have it installed on.
I'm running:
*Celeron 2.8GHz
*1.5 GB ram (but windows 7 shows it as 3GB for some reason???)
*geforce 6200 (forget how much ram, either 256 or 512MB)

I just think it would be interesting to see what you all are runnin it on and who is running it on the lowest spec machine.

It run's fairly well for me w/ a noticeable amount of graphical lag and an occasional hang up. Over all its usable including aero. Media center on the other hand is unusable for me.

how bout you guys?

The one listed in "My System" Runs fairly well.

virtual pc on my system with 512mb ram allocated, runs ok but no 3d support as its a free vm software

CPU: Core2 Duo @ 2.00GHz
RAM: 2GB @ 667
Intel Integrated Graphics w/ S3 interface for the monitor

Keep in mind, this laptop config BARELY ran Vista Business stripped down to nothing, couldn't get Aero graphics and it would run hot as hell. With 7 I get almost all of the graphic niceties and incredible performance. It barely uses more than 512 MB of RAM when idling Firefox, Digsby, and Word.

Did you check windows update for drivers? I went on the nvidia site for my card and they had beta drivers that were listed as updates in the windows update, It was actually really easy to do. Maybe yours has something similar?


I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who isn't running this on a beast of a computer. Hopefully the performance remains good through the retail release.

like i said, ive ripped the kernel apart, they've used the kernel from server 2008 and stream lined it and removed all the old crap that it has accumulated over the years.

it seems that M$ has listened to us all and decided to make it less demanding on the hardware in a hope to get people to upgrade, that is the main reason i use windows xp on my laptop when its "Designed for windows Vista Premium", it just dosen't cut the mustard.

I have it installed on 2 machines:

Crap Box: (Yes, that's it's name)
AMD Athlon XP1800+
1GB (2x512MB) DDR Generic
256MB NVidia GeForce FX5600XT AGP
120GB Maxtor IDE

Uni Laptop:
Toshiba Portege M200
Pentium M 1.6GHz
2GB (2x1GB) of DDR-400 G-Skill
NVidia GeForce 5200
160GB 2.5" HDD

Both are running fine, and the uni laptop is running a lot faster now than when it was running Vista. btw, tip for low end graphics cards.... turn Aero off.

[luciusad2004]

Now that you mention it, how do you actually disable Aero. Is it as simple as disabling transparency or is there more to it?

[XcOM]

its under the themes section, change it from aero to standard
