[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 9726379, member: 9703"] The computer that we run the dyno with is on Vista, and it is a real PITA! I went from XP to Win7 on my home and work laptops, and it is light years ahead of the previous OS'. I really haven't found anything to complain about yet. My home laptop is more of a portable fun machine. It has aToshiba W/ Pentium Dual core 1.3ghz processor; 4gb DDR3 @ 1333mhz FSB. It is like a netbook, but plenty powerful, and great for road tuning with. it weighs in at just over 3 lbs and has an 11" screen. I average about 5 hours of batter life at Max performance settings, and close to 9 hours on battery saver mode :rockon:. I watched two 1:45 min movies (ripped to hardrive) on a plane trip not long ago, and it still had about an hour left once we landed. My other laptop is muh beast a Dell XPS16 6gb DDR3 @ 1333mhz, Pentium Core i7 720qm that is clocked originally at 1.6ghz/per Core, but a new Bios flash has it running at 2.6ghz/Core all the time now. I guess they set it to run in turbo mode full time except when in power saving mode. It has a 15.6" 1080P LED monitor, Blu-Ray drive, and to run the display it uses a 1gb ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730. This one last about 2.5 hours on max Settings, and about hours on Battery saver mode. It really screams. So you can see, Win7 runs excellent on just about any machine as long as you have the correct drivers. I have Win7 home on the Toshiba, and Professional on the XPS16. I saw nothing with Ultimate that I would ever use. -Jeff [/QUOTE]
