Windows 7 running on Netbooks
Hi all, I had a search but could not find anything on Win7 running on netbooks. I recently bought the Samsung N110 the N110 Mini-Notebook N110 - N series - notebook computers | SAMSUNG
and have to say I'm very impressed by it. It comes with xp sp3 installed but I had to put Win7 on and am impressed by the results. I installed build 7260 and stuck a 2gb stick of ram in and it runs very well. Boot up time of around 30 secs (quicker than my C2D 4GB system!), full aero etc. I have 2TB of media on my HTPC and have set up streaming over the internet which works very well (streamed 720p wmv file!!!). It's been quite a while since I've been impressed with a new bit of kit, but have to say this is the best purchase I have made in a long time. Driver support is only xp but vista drivers work well. Is anyone else running Win7 on a netbook? what is your experience?
Samsung have an app called 'easy resolution manager' which enables programs that require a 1024x768 resolution to run, unfortunately this app does not run under Win7 anyone know of a solution?
Also does anyone know the best gfx driver to use, it runs well with the win7 wddm driver but wanted to be sure there is not a better option.
Maybe this thread could become a resource for all things win7/netbook related.
cheers all
