Windows 7 on an old DELL

-

Well i finally got around to downloading Windows 7 last night and i thought i would try to install it on an older machine so i dug out a DELL inspiron 5150 out of the closet. It is an old machine (by todays standards) but it still has a Intel Pentium 4 (3.06 GHz) but only 512mb ram. Im surprised to say that the install went smoothly taking about 45 mins. Once up and running i was able to tether my touch pro without a glitch. I am amazed by how well it is running on the 5150, it appears to be just as fast as xp ever was although I havent had time to get the wireless working yet, im hoping the xp drivers will work. I will keep you posted as i learn more.

The tool is available for pre-order now, with shipments heading out sometime in December, and for $49 it could be yours.
