    There are numerous Intel Pentium M processors which range in speed from 900 MHz to 2.27 GHz.
    Which one do you have?

    If this is the processor you have, it appears it supports only the 32-bit version of Windows 7 and will not allow the use more than 4 GB of RAM.

    It is a very weak performing single core processor, so it being a "sluggish laggy nightmare" appears to be very possible.

I have an older laptop with Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 1GB RAM, an Intel graphics card on the mobo. I am having trouble sharing files with a box with 64 bit Windows 7. Someone said it's better to have the same OS. Is it possible to run 32 bit Win 7 on the oldie (of course, with Aero off)? Thanks!
