Windows 7 Beta - Acer AspireOne Performance - OMG!

ms-win7.gif

I installed Windows 7 Beta on my Acer AspireOne netbook and OMG!  It runs in 1/2 Gig of RAM!!!  And look at the CPU usage: 1%!!!


And this is on a tiny Acer AspireOne netbook with a Windows Experience Index of 2.2!!!

Haha, that's awesome. That's an Atom CPU, right? I have the Toshiba NB100 (basically the same as the One). Right now I'm using it as my primary development desktop - it drives my 23" monitor at 2048x1152, and with an external keyboard and mouse it is very useable. No wonder Intel is scared of people building proper laptops with Atom.

Wow, just checked memory consumption on my old Fujitsu-Siemens laptop with 512 RAM (latest Windows 7 build). It is just 248 mb :)))

Is there a change it will run faster than Vista? That's really cool, cause Vista is not that fast on laptops as I'd like to.

I installed the win7 beta on my A150 hard disk 1g mem edition, works really well, except the wlan driver causes the system to bsod. f I disable the wlan the os works really well... This is a little akward since disabling the wlan makes the netbook a heavy paperweight :)
