Windows 7 and Old Laptops
So I now had this old Satellite Toshiba laptop, P4 mobile with 40GB hard drive and 750MB RAM. Now the drive needed to be wiped out anyway so I decided to install Windows 7 Beta 32 bit edition. I have to say that the install was smooth, and took about 35 minutes from start to finish. There appear to be a couple of driver issues but nothing that is affecting the performance of the system.
In fact I am very impressed in how fast the machine is working with a standard install, but no other real software installed .
I have needed to switch the IE8 compatibility mode on to enable WordPress to appear.
Overall impressed with performance.
