Windows 7

savemoney

I dont find it power hungry maybe slightly more than XP but not anywhere near Vista was. I have it on a various computers including a Dell ( 2 1/2 year old laptop) 1.6ghz AMD dual core laptop and its fine. I run the 64 bit version on 3 machines and plan on installing it on a further 2 we have for kids once I get my new router and wireless n pci cards

I find it very slick and have had 7 running on mid range Pentium 4 machines with 1GB ram.

I am planning on putting starter on my Asus EEE 701 this weekend that has a 800mhz Celron and 1GB Ram we will see how it behaves.

I've just installed it on my Asus EEE 4g, bar it was a Vlite edition which reduced the installed size.

Works just as well as XP no difference in boot up speed or program access time
