Windows 7 on Pentium 3 - Aero works fine!

Microsoft did an incredible job at Windows 7 in my honest opinion. But how does it perform on old computers?

I gave it a go on my Pentium III and it works amazingly fast, faster than XP.

And Aero works just fine. The video might appear a little laggy, but that's the fault of Camtasia Studio. I forgot to set the frame rate up.

Specs:

ASUS CUSL2-C
Pentium III 1000 (non-tualatin)
512MB PC133-SDRAM (2x128 + 1x256)
GeForce 6200

Hard disk capacity is 80GB (Western Digital).

funny how old setups liek this one with a half decent video card can support aero while newer set ups with pentium 4 cant

aero runs of graphics not the cpu
