Windows 7. Yes. On my Celeron with 768MB RAM.

Yep, I like how Windows 7 does all the dirty work a.k.a. driver installation. It installed pretty much every driver on my laptop, except for the built-in card reader driver which I downloaded from Compaq's website. All Vista-compatible drivers work on Windows 7 in my case.

I'm still grumbling about the apparent "long pause" whenever I'm copying huge files from one drive to another. Vista had this problem. It looks like it's the same with this Win7 Build.

looks like the news is real. april 10 nga ang first RC. or april 7...

ok kaya 'to sa HP Mini 1109 TU nakaganito ako ngaun and also yun compaq na cq na dual core celeron na tig 24K lang bibigyan ko dad ko gift for all the patience he gave me

bibilis pa photoshop cs3 kung windows 7

[SIZE="5"]my dual core 2.5ghz, 2gb-ram Yes.[/SIZE]


[SIZE="5"]my pentium 4 3.2ghz, 1gb-ram No.[/SIZE]



it is on par with my xp, but lag sa games on the pentium. it only uses microsoft ver. driver. kasi wala pa sa ati radeon driver. and xp or vista driver is no go...

still have some bugs too... once nag a hang-up siya one time, the next restarts and the rest of booting-logon speed became 4x slower...

I hear hindi pa pala ito ang early unoffical RC.

Photoshop CS4 startup is speed, but working on heavy files is par, sometimes lesser speed than xp.

I take it the 9.3 Catalyst doesn't work? I have an ATI X1200 on my laptop which is fairly low-end. The ATI Catalyst drivers for Vista/Win7 worked fine.

yep, my pentium4 uses agp x1650 pro. tried vista and xp but no joy.

tried windows 7 hd2xxx driver but same parin...

in fairness, my problem with laggy openGL is gone in windows7.

yet it hangs a lot even on windows explorer environment... but my dual core seems happy on any environment so far.

copying files is good compared to the last windows 7 6048 I tried which had a long pause like yours.

RC 7100

[oj88]

I upgraded my Vista Ulitmate to Windows 7 Ultimate a few days ago. This is already the Release To Manufacturing (RTM - Build 7600) version. It's basically the same as a boxed copy without the box, so to speak. Available to us through MSDN. Saarrraaappp!

[boybi]

Installed Win7 on my PC and am loving it! So far, everything works! It's way faster than my previous OS, WinXP. I actually never tried Vista since its release so I don't know the performance difference with Vista.

[SIZE=3]Ang sabi sa aking nung sa PC store na bininilhan ko October 2009 pa release ng Windows 7. Anyway, since you already have it, ano ang minimum specs ng CPU inorder to install this version. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=3]TIA bro![/SIZE]

[boybi]

^ Read the thread title. ;)

[roberto_minosa]

I think it could run (barely) on a PC with even lower specs than mine. But it needs a whole lot of HDD space; 15GB free space to be safe.

Run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to find out if your PC can still run Win7.

I still get that COM Surrogate error whenever I open a folder with mpeg 1 and 2 files in it. But, I can now stop the process from crashing Explorer via the Task Manager after adding it to Data Execution Prevention. I also dropped Divx in favor of Xvid.

The problem also showed mainly in Details view. Once I had individual windows set to List view, the crashes stopped. Hopefully, it's fixed when Win 7 goes retail. I like Details view.

The upgrade advisor isn't entirely correct. Like in my case, I'm currently using Windows 7 RC 7100 on this laptop with only 768MB RAM when they say that it won't run with anything less than 1GB RAM. So far, I've had no problems with it. This laptop isn't even capable of running Vista! I tried it once and I won't do it again. Hehehe...at least that's proof that Windows 7 can run on lower-specced PCs unlike Vista.

I have Vista Basic on an Athlon XP 1700+/GF Ti-4200/768mb ram. It seems to run ok. Basic requires only 512mb ram.

I imagine that the Advisor is just being conservative. Running Win7 with just 768MB will only have enough headroom for an app or two. I installed the beta on a PIII laptop of 1GHz with a mere 640MB RAM, and it ran. But I don't think it will give me the same snappy response after I've installed several apps and have three or four of them open at the same time, an anti-virus in the background, and maybe a movie playing at a corner of the screen (I usually work this way :P)

To put things into perspective... My Firefox right now has 18 tabs open, and it's occupying a whopping 280+ MB of memory.

I installed the RTM 7600 version, so far, no errors reported yet.
