I have Windows 7 RC1, the system is awesome, and I can say I have a intel dual-core 1.5ghz 1GB ram and 80HDD with 128MB vid card.. and the sistem runs awesome here.. this laptop is almost 2 years old or more. 1 of the first dual-core proccessors.. now these days the pcs and laptops with the highest performance I bet u windows7 will run smooth, fast and just awesome.. just to let u know I am an XP fan.. and I am already liking WIN7 rather than xp..! cheers!
Sure it is the requirements???? Microsoft has done mighty well to cut down on resource hungry processes and services if it really works out
i haven't try windows 7 but i hope it can be more compatible with xp on driver and application not like vista
