I am going to try to install some more programs this week and see how it
runs with them, as I have only just installed firefox and avg virus
programs.

I have Windows 7 on a tablet with 2GB ram, haven't installed any other
MS apps yet though. With I.E. and Open Office Writer open it's using
1.07 GB of RAM.
I have run itno some in-stability issues when setting the swap file
size (I always lock it 2 or 3 time the RAM), and have found that
Firefox runs fine, but Opera croaks after an hour or so of use. 7 does
seem to run faster than Vista on the same box, but I haven't tried to
benchmark them.

I just thought that I would let you all know that I d/l'd the new Windows
7. Have been using it for a few days, and though it looks real nice I
have to say that it does take a WHOLE LOT of memory. With the browser
open and a mail program the used memory is above 1.2 Gigs of ram. I
installed the windows 7 mail program which I think is called Windows
Live. It has very nice large font that makes the mail easy to read though
there is no way to select all the old mail and delete. So far I have to
delete each one by pressing the delete key.
I am sending this using Vista and its memory use is just above 1.0 Gigs.
So not alot different.
