@ashneilroy

Its actually alot faster then having XP on the thing i recomend the upgrade and if you dont want to spend on an external USB CD Drive i recomend looking up a USB THUMB DRIVE TUTORIAL to install Windows 7.

i wonder how well windows 7 runs on hp mini 2133?

[cebukitty]

suprisingly windows 7 runs well on the hp 2133 with via processors. the only lag is boot up...but once the system is up, everything is responsive...browsing, etc.

hey does the microphone work for the xp?

[otharennaur]

so, i think it's better running XP on the mini... But what about another OS like Ubuntu or OSX? I personally use Ubuntu 9.04 on mine, but i want a dual boot since the Ethernet port doesn't work in ubuntu.

[wwwgeekdotcom]

yes, XP over vista. As for OS X, I'm not sure, but I think it's doable (though not perfect). Ubuntu and Jolicloud should both be solid.

For all those who want to know: I have Windows 7 on my HP Mini now with everything working except

1) Microphone

I even got the XP Mouse pad driver to install so you can scroll with it. Works just fine with 1 GB RAM, but I upgraded to 2 GB. If you want more info, just Personal Message me.

Thanks for the update, good to know. Weird that, of all things, the microphone would not work

[hydesamantha]

Did you find a way to fix the microphone problem? I've got the Mini that came with Windows 7 Starter, and I want to upgrade to Home Premuim, but I'm afraid of things like this - having issues with things going wrong and whatnot...

[kiotieiii]

Hi, upgrading to Home Premium shouldn't effect anything. Drivers will all be the same, so just get them off of HP's support site if you need them.

hey thanks for the vid. did u guys upgrade your RAM before you installed this? please reply a.s.a.p

[wwwgeekdotcom]

[kbloSnack]

[razaviknows]

[firetrap2tube]

Hi, do you find a driver for the built-in microphone?

Mine works out of the box , mines the 1001NR (canadian high end 10.2 inch 60 GB HDD model)
