With Windows 7 having just been out for a week or so I thought I would share a quick experience. I have an old Toshiba Satellite laptop (P10-S429) which has a P 4 processor with 512 MB physical memory. I had my doubts if Windows 7 would run on this machine as it is a the bare minimum hardware standards set by Microsoft. I can now say that I am very surprised at how well it actually does perform. I actually believe that its performs is even better running Windows 7 then it did running windows XP. So I am sure that there are other IT people out there that are running Windows 7 on older machines. I would love to hear what your experience has been so far. Also check out the video below from PCWIZKid’s Tech Talk. They do a very good job at dual booting a machine with Vista and Windows 7 to compare the performance.
