Windows 7 brings back the Celeron desktop

Posted by Al in Windows 7 News on 01 20th, 2009 | 9 responses |


Windows 7 Believe it or not, what you see here are the WEI scores for a 1.3 GhZ Celeron Processor with 512MB of RAM. If you’ve been following our fellow commenters, you probably already know that Windows 7 managed to run fairly fluid on some insanely low-spec computers. Matt at GottaBeMobile documents his experience with Windows 7 on his Celeron computer, claiming that Windows 7 appears and feels to run as smoothly as Ubuntu 8.10. You can read about his story here.

    Do you think this would run ok on a mobile celeron CPU (1.2 Ghz)? I’ve got Windows XP on it at the moment, but if Windows 7 would be faster on it I’ll give it a try.

    Hey i have an Inspiron 1300 with a Celeron and 2Gb ram. I’ve upgraded the ram but obviously couldn’t with the cpu. Will the extra RAM really increase the score from the benchmark you have set?

    thanks.
