I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's a 1.3Ghz Celeron, 512MB of RAM and inboard graphics.
I just wanted a change from XP on the laptop
So probably no 64-bit?
Anyway, it won't be super fast or anything... and no aero. You'd probably be better off running it in a VM on your main rig.
It runs good on my Latitude - 1.6 Pentium M 2GB ram - I don't have any aero though
Anyway, the only driver I had to install was my touchpad (and my wireless after I pulled out my smartcard bay - long story). Other than that, I like it. I showed it to my boss today and he's got good hopes for it. So do I.
Yeah, but the thing is the RAM... I've got it running great here... so far no reason for more RAM or a better CPU, but Danny's 512MB of RAM might not be adequate.
It'll chug. The minimum is 1GB.
Although I've seen a P4 1.5 ghz and 512MB (maybe less) of RAM run Vista Ultimate, so I'm optimistic

Hey Korn, what are your thoughts vs. XP?
Hey Shane. That'd be awesome if you could! Itd be the old laptop though, how do you think it'd run?
512mb ram is a bit tight though ,7 used just over 880 something mb idle when i first booted.
is it worthy of using as a main os?
I'd say so! The issues I was having turned out to be my problem.
Just take note that it'll stop working in August.
but by then wont there be another beta out? and if not, i have a work around for the timer.
