It is well known that Windows 7 is a huge step up from Vista as well as XP. It allows users with computers that could barely run Vista to run 7 much faster and more efficiently.
It is relatively safe to say, that Windows 7 will be the first version of Windows, that does not constantly remind you that you need to upgrade your computer. Since the first beta was released a few months ago, I have done around 25-30 installs of Windows 7. On every type of system, from a 3 GHz quad core system, to a 1.3 GHz single core laptop. On every single one of those installs Windows 7 greatly improved performance and reliability.
The install we want to highlight here is the 1.3 GHz laptop. Even by today's net book crazy market, this is an under powered laptop. With less then 512 MB of ram and an Intel Celeron M CPU, it's no speed demon. Nonetheless, it was amazing how fast it ran and installed Windows 7. Check out the full install and test video below
i once got windows 7 running smoothly on a laptop with the following specs:
processor: intel pentium iii 1ghz memory: 256mb pc133 hard drive: 20gb 4200rpm
(almost dead) video: s3 graphics twister 8mb

1gb of memory
Windows 7 low spec install

i have it running on a celeron 400 with 512mb and its fairly slow but functional all the
same. couldn't find a driver for the nvidia 4200ti so i stripped if from a vista cd. but
it will not complete a wei.
Might be Fake

for it to be that responsive on that kind of spec is just mad either it is real or it has
been modified. also with that after it says welcome it does not have wlm and after 1 sec
less than that wlm is there. also to back it up he does not at one point show the spec of
the pc by using my computer.

on top of my last comments the outside looks old but the inside could have been upgraded.

windows 7 running slow.. why? there was something wrong with my system?
Runs fine on 6 year old desktop

i ran win7 rc on p4 3.06ghz 2gb system with gf7600 videocard and it ran just fine.
noticeable faster than vista.
Not as fast as some are claiming
By MMK on 24.05.2009 - 09:05
i don't understand why people keep talking about how fast windows 7 is. i have been
using windiws 7 since the first beta and now i am runnung build 7027 on my 2.5gh core 2
duo hp laptop with 4gb of ram. i find it's speed comparable to vista, a little quicker
but still comparable to vista.
not 7027
By MMK on 24.05.2009 - 11:05
i meant 7127
7 the son of vista
By chaoas and woe on 25.05.2009 - 09:05
running w7rc1 on a dual core 1.8ghz 2 gig ram system and its much faster than vista.looks
more like an update than a separate o/s but its how vista should have been.ms should give
vista owners 50% discount on 7
Install 7127
By wow on 25.05.2009 - 18:05
i got 7127 installed on:
80486dx 100mhz 4mb ram 256mb harddisk
1mb svga

i just got it installed in the board computer of my 1911 t-ford runs great next im going
to upgrade my b52 cannot wait to fly with a fat taskbar and a mem index which is lying.
Wow...What an Idiot!

windows with no application does run pretty fast. but start installing apps and it will
come to a halt! case in point: install office 2008 on that laptop and take so time test
again. what are like 15. been using window since xp. you have to know the history to
see there is nor progress. just taking you money and getting richer the microsoft way!
