  • how the hell can you run windows 7 with only 512mb ram ?? windows 7 needs at least 1GB , 2gb recommended :D WTF

  • ur not using the transparent stuff and when u dont use them it makes it look horrible but it speeds up ur comp so u cheated

  • @hammy6427 Thanks for your comment on such an old video, you truly honour me.

    The laptop is not aero compatible.

    This 2 year old video was posted to show that Win 7 is usable on lower end machines, though maybe not for "transparent stuff", however this is due to it not having a proper graphics card - not because I felt like cheating you.

    I'll post a followup video at some point of my current laptop booting with Win7 - it has the transparent stuff.

  • @cymru2000 ok, how come u got windows 7 in 2008 coz i thought it came out in 2009 in october 22. thx 4 ur reply :)

  • @hammy6427 The company I work for is a large Microsoft partner, so this was basically an early Beta build ( milestone release). The Beta came out in early 2009, but performed about the same as this on boot. I never got round to testing the later builds because I ,lost the laptop :)

  • @cymru2000 oh i c, sorry 2 hear that u lost the laptop

  • @cymru2000 the laptop is aero compatible because it uses ati radeon xpress 200m just use the vista driver for that.

  • @hammy6427 it works when you have 1 GB ram or 2 only for noteboocks

  • i have the same laptop it ran,vista,7,xp,2000. perfect no problem.

  • His pc is the not good not windows 7 512 mb lol? how it will work speed

  • vista sucks mate,,,the worst windows ever is vista,,

    Windows 7 , outclass window, i am using windows 7 ultimate , very fast boot and also fast startup , i like it so much,,, much better and faster than Xp..

  • I own two laptops, both are Toshiba. One is 15'6 inch I bouth in may 2009 and the other 13'3 inch I bought in march of 2010. The first one is windows vista and the other is windows 7. I can see a very obvious difference between the two. The windows 7 is faster and it runs perfectely with no errors so far. While I had some issues with the vista.

  • jajajaj is windows vista modific

  • HP Compaq nx6125

    512 MB RAM

    1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64

    Windows 7 32 bit

    This is modest?!! HAHA FAIL!!

    i got this for about 1k not bad win7 staret up 20-30 sec 4G DDR3

    Win7 Ulti

    intel dual core 2.53

    Geforce gt220M 1GB

  • modest hardware??? hahaha

    HP Compaq nx6125

    512 MB RAM

    1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64

    at least 1gb of ram would be enough for this windows to boot up faster for about 30 seconds

  • i upgraded to 1gb ram.. I think that is the maximum for this system.

  • Hey i have this laptop and when I bought it new they said it would be capable of vista when it came out, and apparently windows 7 has less system requirements so I'd imagine it would run windows 7 fine. Either way it doesn't really matter because my laptop just died with a motherboard fault and I prefer xp anyway.Its quite a powerful system I think with dual core 1.8ghz processor.. I sure won't get another hp compaq.

  • This system (well, an almost identical IBM) is currently holding up well with Win7, Office 2007 and Lotus Notes 8.5. ther user may not be a power user, but at the same time he hasn't noticed any slowdown either.

  • If 7 Ultimate BETA runs like this, try to run Windows 7 Starter Retail that runs on netbooks. :D

  • I think I fell asleep, what happened??

  • Comment removed

  • Actually its an early beta of Windows 7.

  • Really?

  • Yes i think its a 2008 Version of the Beta

  • Nice.

  • I think its Windows 7 Milestone 3 (Build 6801), but obviously Windows 7 is now released (Retail, Build 7600)

  • mmkauy

  • Win 7 is slow, just like Vista. Stick with XP, or get Snow Leopard.

  • I've found the opposite in fact. Windows 7 is faster than Vista, comparable to XP and has excellent driver support (anything not on the disk is either on, or has something compatible within Windows Update)

    Sure it has problems, but all modern operating systems do.

  • my Win 7 is really fast!

  • Implied facepalm.

  • lalz

  • @NorwegianCrows win vista sucks balls i can't believe you can be so stupid

  • @NorwegianCrows You must have had a corrupt installation or you have no idea what you are doing. W7 takes my machine maybe 25-30 seconds to boot compared to almost 60 seconds with Vista Ultimate.

  • @NorwegianCrows!!!!! Muhahahahaahahahaa Windows vista and xp suck!!!!

    WINDOWS 7 IS THE BEST AND THE SPEED STUPID

  • modest?

  • I think with the amount of time passed since this was originally posted we could downgrade modest to "crappy".

  • ah okey

  • I haven't clocked it but mine is up and running within 30 seconds tops

    Quad Core Phenom II 3.2 ghz

    4gb ddr3

    Cheap Western Digital hard drive

  • Built.

    Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 4.0 Ghz

    4 GB Ram

    300 GB Velociraptor (HDDs count guys)

    Does W7 in 24 seconds

    Dell Dimension 3100

    Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz

    2 GB Ram

    Does Vista Ultimate in 52 seconds.

    I don't see where you're getting these crazy 3 minute boots.

  • no wonder took 1min 10 secs to load look at the computer tech.. only 512ram...?? sure i only paid 450 for my HP at xmas at it has 4gb ram, 2Gghz processor and the whole lot.... cousin woroks at pc world and has near same laptop said the beta version loaded on his in 46 secs

  • Comment removed

  • Mine is a:

    HP Laptop

    1,8Ghz AMD Sempron

    1GB RAM

    Windows Vista Home Basic...

    AND ITS SOOOO SLOW!!!

    Im getting a new desktop PC next year!

  • Vista's slow. I put Windows 7 RC on a core2duo with 2gb. Boots in a little less than a minute, far faster than the 3+ Vista would take. I'll put a video on here soon, been meaning to.

  • dude...you need more ram...vista takes up atleast 1gb of ram because of all its looks and fancy stuff just get some more ram...if that doesnt help you might need a stronger processor

  • @LilleClaus2387 Yes it would be slow. I have a laptop with 2.0Ghz Athlon, 2GB RAM, and 7 Ultimate, and it screams! I suggest you get a new OS and upgrade your RAM.

  • mine has vista ultimate with:

    gateway desktop

    1 gb ram

    800 mhz pentium 4

    mega slow

    and mine has some of the aero themes goin on

  • @LilleClaus2387

    prob that RAM runs out :D

  • ponle vista y a ver como carga jajajaja

  • HP Compaq nx6125

    512 MB RAM

    1.8 GHz AMD Turion 64

    is not modest hardware

  • No, you're right, by today's standards it's pretty crappy.

  • so that's about a minute and 20 seconds?

  • It's about that, I'll try and find that laptop again and do it on build 7600 which feels slightly slower.

  • windows 7 has definently improved from vista, i definently noticed the difference after upgrading

  • WOOOOOW 512 RAM!! WOOW

  • My XP on a Celeron 658 MHz processer is faster than this.

  • OK, well done you. Care to prove it?

  • Hey is windows 7 better than vista

  • I'm using build 7100 now, obviously, and although it boots quite a bit slower I'd say it's still quite a bit better than the latest version of Vista - it still has a way to go before being production ready though (which from what I've seen of later build, it really is going to be a good product)

  • A AMD Turion is a slow processer so the boot time is going to be a longer. If you had a AMD Athlon, it will go alot faster.

  • From starting my computer to getting into win7 (with dualboot options showing) I can log in at about 1:32secs and I'm have an older system, just top of line ram

  • I have windows 7 installed on Pentium 2.0 ghz 320 gb harddisk..but it loads soo slowely..can you help me?

  • Use xp...

  • Quem vive de passado é museu..

  • Windows7 on Pentium2?????

    You're joking right?

  • no look: A pentium Dual-core 2.0 GHZ

  • wow i can install windows 7 on my Pentium 4 2.66GHz 1GB RAM 40GB HDD DVD-ROM LG Super Multi DVD-RAM Floppy 6 USB slots Windows XP SP3 (Windows Vista Ultimate Transformation Pack)

    i can install Windows 7 on this comp i have lolz

  • Oh, I don't even wanna time this crappy computer! I can hit the on button, take a trip to the toilet, and come back and still wait! Ahhh, outdated pieces of crap :]

  • For your information, that "crappy computer" is a hp NX-series...one of the most robust notebooks hp ever made.

    Compared to the crap hp makes these days, the NX was a dream machine!

  • 512 MB of RAM?? Windows 7 will explode your PC with that RAM, lol.

  • lmao man i put win 7 on my moms laptop with those same spec and she can play harry potter 4, fuck aero

    intel chipset vga

    512 ram (508 usable)

    1.67 ghz processor, just goes to show windows is finally not shit

  • lmao yeah as long as u disable aero its cool and works...

  • i got a 7.3 for my processor in windows 7, is that good?

  • yes thats good^^

  • so fucking good men in the scale maximum is 7.9 you are very close...

    i have celeron 2.7 ghz and i have 3.5 (bit crappy) i getting new processor and more ram soon.

  • 23 seconds on a custom 3.06ghz 32bit 1gig of ram.

  • an HP notebook isn´´t able to have modest hardware...

    HP is shit... maybee you should use another ^^ loool

  • yea like gateways man those things are like alien computer clones. performance is 6.9

  • A minute and 5 seconds. I am not that impressed. I can get faster boot times on windows XP with about the same hardware.

  • Mine was 40 Seconds how about yours

  • that is fucking normal,win 7 does use more resources than xp,so it wont work just as fast on crappy machines but it will on good ones,actualy if you compare features its much better

  • what build is this?

  • hp pc own!

  • i run win 7 on my desktop

    3.2ghz p4

    1gb ram

    256nvidia geforce 7900gs video

    windows 7 is better than mac xp vista an all other

  • cause it is all the other operating system.

  • those are the crap computers my school uses.

  • I think people will find microsoft always had the ability, its just the market they were targeting weren't your computer experts.

    One thing i critize them for is the stupid stupid...online activation system they are using, i install new hardware and reformate then my product key is invalid...Thats fucked up, through GREED they've made an inconvience for me

  • alas microsoft, you have reedeemed yourself. I was going to switch to a mac but you jsut got in here. you deserve a pat on the back bill gates cos you will FUCKING DIE. jokes

  • Umm, Vista is not all that bad, stop being a trend whore.

  • im not a whore :(

  • @joeyisfunny it is

  • Windows Vista would completely kill that pc, with ONLY 512 mb RAM. VERY impressive, microsoft - you've got the hang of it now.

    If Windows 7 can run without many problems on 512mb RAM, emagine how much extra power having 6-8GB installed would give! :D

  • lol dude my 1.7 gb , 258 ram desktop computer reboots faster

    gosh

  • What are you running Dos?

  • 512mb ram is quite low.

  • The original mac has ¼ MB, or 128k.

  • you will hate windows7 once tried ubuntu9.04.

    ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop (almost identical hardware configuration) boots within 25 seconds.

  • ARCH linux on my laptop with even worse hardware configuration boots in 12 seconds

  • MS-DOS 6.22 boots faster than either of those. Owned.

  • DOS wouldn't even boot on this computer. OWNED

  • We're talking about older hardware. How fast does ARCH boot on a 386 SX 25?

  • never tried before but since ARCH has no GUI and other unnecessary shit it should be fast.

  • i boot faster than u

  • Comment removed

  • xp for me all the way :)

  • Windows 7 will act more like windows XP than windows Vista, but it will look more like Windows Vista than Windows XP.

    I recomment you to change :)

  • Stunning login wallpaper

  • Si es Windows 7.

    /watch?v=fN43Z25KJys&feature=r­elated

  • it makes me laugh! Windows Vista was worked on for many years and the beta of 7 comes out and it's better than vista! LOL!

  • i want to upgrade my Vista to 7!!!!!!!!!

  • me too!

  • sghh. And you talk here about servers.. and windows server 2003-2008

    well I should mention a more stable, faster and more secure OS for servers..

    it's red hat. Many big corporations use it!

    It works best with intel Xeon.

    And Red Hat is linux based too!!!

  • code virus for windows? piece of cake.

    for linux? forget it.

    Why?

    There are around 70 viruses(oldest from beginning of 1990s) out there that could infect linux but only around 2-5 could make damage. Most of the viruses just wait people making mistakes or some noobs to click crab. And that's possible because of ie. Firefox is the securest browser.. and it's more secure with linux.

  • Well if you get Ubuntu linux its default browser is Firefox! Ubuntu is the best!

  • That took forever

  • Linux doesn't get 'hacked of virus spammed' because by default, users aren't logged in as root, and, by default, can't access or modify the system without the root password. Meaning, hackers can't even get into the system. There are viruses out there for Linux, they just can't do much damage. Windows viruses are so effective and malicious because anyone can get right into the system without any privileges.

    It's not that no one bothers; people have developed them just to prove it can be done.

  • Linux doesnt get hacked or virus spammed because no one bothers with it! How many people use linux over windows ? Its too smaller community for virus makers even to bother attempting to hack or destroy the OS.

  • lol when i got my first laptop it had like

    1.2ghz intel celeron

    256mb ram but luckly i got a new one

    1.86ghz intel celeron dual core

    1gb ram

    lol big difference lol

  • nononono other way round

  • If you want a clean pc, use linux, or a hackintosh.

  • No shit! Lunix is shit! thats the worst PC running thingy

  • Lunix? xD

    Its just different, not the worst.

    Its one of the most secure operating systems in the world.

  • How? well i dont have time for this. Follow me on twitter : sebianoti

  • Because its based off of UNIX.

    UNIX is one of the most secure command shells, why you ask? Becaue it was programmed by more than 10K+ people. Its open source, anyone can contribute towards it.

    Mac and Linux are both based off of UNIX.

  • You honestly believe you have the right to talk shit about operating systems when you call them "PC running thingys"?

    Linux is way to advanced for your... type. No wonder you have troubles with it, (If you've even tried it, which I doubt you have.)

  • you just failed! You don't know what your talking about! Linux is the safest out there!

  • thats only because no one wants to take the time to write a virus for an os that is 3% of all os's used!

  • exactly, why make a virus when no one would be effected by it!

  • affected

  • yeah truly thetechman15 is just a linux fanboy. same with apple fanboys. they think there OS is so safe but for real man only like 10% of people use linux and mac os x. so why would a hacker waste his time

  • WOW THERE BUDDY! I use Windows, I'm just saying it is the safest! If everyone used Linux people would start writing viruses for it! That's the bad part about any OS Mac CAN get viruses, I'm just trying to balance out the OS's out there, they all have their advantages and disadvantages!

  • No, Linux is safer because it doesn't make the default user the superuser. Windows let's your average incompetent user do anything to the system out of the box, whilst Linux safeguards against any such changes by deaf ult. It's simply not worth exploiting a linux system then.

  • ahahah stupid man, with linux i don't have to buy an antivrus an antispyware an antimalaware and i haven't to pay more than 100€ for an os that use at least 2 gb of ram

  • he dident say it wasent and he das have a point of more people used linux then people would try to hack it more and proberly find a way in

  • I love osx86, works really fine on my acer.

  • If you want a clean pc use a virus scanner.

  • it's not bad, not bad at all

  • seriously dude you suck at key framing you video, but anyway keep dream that windows can work like that lol.

  • get the newest build (7000 legal from Microsoft) its a lil more snapper

  • thats an old ass laptop bro

  • nah not rly its like 2-3 yrs old + he was only proving a point about shitsosoft's new os

  • fuck you your calling microsoft shitsoft yet your name is Xboxnerd08! what the fuck dude apple and microsoft are both very good os's doesnt matter what ever you prefer but i think windows is more for gaming

  • windows rocks, i dont like mac os, seems alien to me

    :P

  • ok 1 coolproductions GAYEST name in the world 2 its not a os war so get over it (im blocking you)

  • dude ur kinda fail ur saying microsoft is shitsoft?

    who made xbox? microsoft :P

    look at your damn name.

  • who made the xbox? yes microsoft made it.. that would explain why its such a piece of shit that allways over heats and crashes!

  • mate look at his name

  • hahah ya he is some dumb kid that is talking out of his ass like most people that don't actually have any reasons to back up what they say he's just jumping on the bandwagon.

  • its actually IBM who make the xbox hardware, microsoft make the xbox OS

  • on my amd athlon dual core its 10 seconds so its the same copy i used for that old laptop that i thought id try on

  • thats the old windows 7 ive got a p4 2.4 484 bcoz of display and shared memory and its runs faster its the 7000 release

  • IF I KNOWN THIS B4 i would of installed windows 7 on my laptop

  • my windows 7 bootscreen is all different! :O is this 7000?

  • woof... pretty slow

    I prefer 2 GB RAM and a processor over 2.5 GHz

  • I have an 04 toshiba satellite with less than 1 gb ram, can i put windows 7 on it?

  • who care for boot up time, you boot your comp 1 time per day (i do one time per 2 week or 3) we need more stable OS not fast in boot...

  • "we need more stable OS"

    Nonsense, Windows XP is already stable as it is right now, only clueless noobs manage to get it down with poor drivers and damaged memory...sigh

    The OS needs to be faster, use less resources (so that it can also run on netbooks) and be more user friendly, basically all areas that got attention in Windows 7

  • Why you don't enable the aero theme? It looks much better.

  • u cant enable the aero on 512mb of ram

  • Ok.

  • i have 4gb ram thinkpad boots less than 11 sec

  • Yeah...suuuuureee...lol

  • fuck window 7 is not good xp is best best.Usme

  • xp sucks... BIG time....sigh

  • Xp is better than all the windows builds...especially server 2003

  • Nonsense. XP was good 8 years ago, but that was a long time, times have changed, XP isn't secure enough and simply not well optimized for all the latest hardware.

    As for Server 2003; it's nothing compared to Server 2008, trust me...

  • Eh I'm not much for 2008...and when it comes to serious computing I use Linux...

  • Is that an 800x600 resolution?!?

  • that is not even build 7000, it isnt even near to their final release and you are rediculing them on an unfinshed OS them on crap hardware. MIcrosoft recomended 1gb not 512mb. I have 1gb of ram, and it boots up pretty fast

  • Microsoft need to stop using command line

  • why every os has some sort of command line.

  • that was one hell of a gud performance!! but still if u want to enjoy the real vista and i presume 7 u need at least 2GB of Ram.... the new welcome screen is cool but i must say that windows 7 looks worser than Windows vista without the aero glass..

  • 1. 512MB of ram will allow 7 to run, but it will rely too much on swapping out pages. That makes for a slower boot time, since windows will load stuff from the drive into memory, and immediately swap it out to the pagefile.

    2. Laptop hard drives are a lot slower than desktop drives, which also means a slower boot time.

  • build 6801...make that with 7000

  • i installed windows 7 but the damn thing kept on freezing and the internet kept on going in and out. so i went back to xp for now. i really like windows 7 to so it sucks.

  • It's a beta. Bugs are common in a test version, i am sure it will be fine.

  • Nah it really does run on 512MB's of RAM. I ran it for 2 days straight almost and it hasn't crashed yet, I think Windows 7 is a good deal, fast, smooth, I tried everything to crash this thing.
