Video Blog: Windows 7 performance on older computers

A few weeks ago, I installed Windows 7 Ultimate Edition RTM on my brother’s Acer Aspire 5571 laptop, which is at least 3 years old and has an Intel 1.6 GHz processor, just 1 GB of RAM, and initially came preloaded with Windows XP.

Not only did the machine boot up amazingly fast, it also enabled the Windows Aero theme and the performance was great!
