cluberti Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 With those specifications, you will probably find XP to be a better performer than Windows 7 on that machine in most scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
re8 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 512 MB RAM? If you had money for Win7, you might as well spring the extra $300+ for a full Win7 machine that has atleast 2GB. Though people do install a stripped-down Win7 on a 1GB netbook... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puntoMX Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hi I've a laptop with 512 MB of Ram, (Mini-DDR SDRAM) expensive...60 GB Harddrive,1.6 Intel Centrino Single Core processorand 64 MB Intel Extreme Graphics 2 Card.I should stick with XP Right?Keep it with XP indeed, 512MB less the 1 to 8MB it uses for the video card isn't much but will do for windows 7 home basic. Main problem is the basic video drivers that come with Windows 7; that driver would perform slow with the Intel Extreme Graphics 2. Other chipset functions are well supported I must say so is the soundchip.Hi most netbooks come with win 7 starter edition on them.The newer models do indeed, but there are loads left with windows XP who are sold cheap. As far as I can tell, Windows XP will stop to being shipped in October this year as Windows 7 would be released one year before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Any machine (regardless of being a desktop or laptop) with 1GB RAM or less I'd recommend XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
