All righty, so I’m sitting here on my iBook waiting for my Windows 7 Beta DVD to finish burning. I started the download this morning from TPB, and am now patiently waiting. While I wait, let me introduce you to my machine that I will be installing 7 on. It is a HP Pavilion ze5170 Laptop. 2.0GHZ Pentium 4, 512 RAM, 40GB Hard Drive. I got the computer free from my grandparents after the keyboard broke. I took it into my possession, ordered a new keyboard off ebay, and now have a great laptop. There is no battery, but thats not a huge deal for me right now.
Well, it is 7:37 PM and I am currently installing it to my lappy, getting into installation was a lot quicker than with XP, so hopefully thats some foreshadowing? Idk, but install is going kinda slow, but then again, i am running it on an old machine. Well, more to come!
Well, its installed, took like 30 minutes, which is SO much faster than XP, i only wish it had video drivers, i’m running with 32mb of Vram, so i would expect things to be slow, but wow, the windows move so slow, but overall i’m pretty satisfied. I just need to see about getting some network drivers, even just ethernet would be fine at the moment. Well, i’ll post more as i get further into the OS!
