Yes, that would be my EEE, and Yes, thats Vista on it :rolleyes:

Despite popular belief it runs just fine, even with some of the heavy software I use on it.

The CPU actually isn't that bad..(maybe it's the hyper threading :p) Though it would be nice for some extra oomph every now and again.

Here's the score:

Cool... I would of expected that on the graphics, but that's not bad for an eee... not bad at all.

my laptop has the same IGP as your EEE and my score is 3.1. O_O

i can't play F.E.A.R. on mine though cause it only has 1gb RAM and the framerates are terrible and sometimes crashes. running a centrino duo @ 1.73ghz. your EEE is better than my laptop a bit. O_O

I know, this thing surprised the hell out of me...i'm playing Halo and Fear with very little lag.

I'm pretty sure I can talk about it..
AFAIK theres nothing wrong with beta testing software you plan to buy anyway...

So far i'm really liking 7. The beta 1 is very stable and easier on resources than the earlier builds, and a lot of the glitches are ironed out. It could practically be released in this state. Anywhoo, so far the only downside is a battery life hit..which is strange, but oh wells. It runs awesome on my EEE, though. I could get into the details but i'd be here a while, heheh.

MS should really start giving (or selling for a small amount) demos of their latest OS so people can decide if they want it or not without having to buy a full copy or grab a somewhat questionable copy from the web.

Show me a maxed out windows 7 score THEN I'll be impressed :p
You have the Acer predator? They look pretty cool..though a little over the top (mind you haven't seen one in person yet)

That would be smart..unfortunately big companies don't make smart decisions like that..they're kinda stubborn in that way.

What ever happened to not judging a companies product until you've used, or in this case, seen it? :p

Yeah... I SOOOOO want to try Windows 7 before I buy it. MS would probably say: "Well, ya see, it would be mak'n 't t'eezy for pirates, and we don't want ta be doin' zot! Who cares anyhoo? We're still makin' $ regardless!" :rolleyes:

I'm judging it on it's looks, which is easy to determine from a picture...besides, it's the same brand as my computer!

They practically do have a demo though already..thats the stupid thing. I find it hard to believe they care if people download an iso of the OS DVD. I mean, there had to be a reason for the 30 day trial period when no key is entered...uuuh, is that not the definition of a 30 day trial?
It's the activation hacks they should have a problem with.
