    Why is windows 7 so slow?

    I even googled how to speed it up but it's nothing compared to the speed of xp

    Need a smidge more info before anyone can tell you anything. Machine specs you are on? Did you upgrade or a clean install? So may variables. Im on win 7 typing this and it flies.

      Windows 7 is fast, some computers running it may not be so fast.

              If Windows 7 is slow for you then you suck.

                      I did not know you could still buy computers with such low specs. When did they make it? 2001?

                        works fine on xp. Its really small, fits on back of monitor. Not using it for anything intense, just web browsing.

                          Windows 7 "Ultimate" (feature loaded) don't seem like a logical match for 1gb or Ram. With another gig it would probably rock, I would think you could tone down a lot of its features, basically a Windows 7 normal would most likely be faster.

                            So far I think it's very fast... and I have it running on a new Sony Vaio X Notebook which isn't the fastest cookie in the world by comparison to today's regular dual and quad cores.

                              1 gig of ram is the first warning bell.

                                There are probably a lot of tweaks you can do, but you can't really expect it to be too speedy running anything.

                                          You can't possibly expect fast performance from anything with an Atom processor. They have such little horsepower, you'll be lucky to view an HD YouTube video with it, honestly.

                                            i installed win 7 yesterday on a P4 with 1 GB - if you don't try to play HD video it's totally fine. but always the first thing i do is switch back to windows 2000 GUI - all those colors and effects are annoying and cost speed

                                                          My husband got me a new dell for Christmas and it has Windows 7 on it with 6GB of RAM and this damn thing flies. I HATED Vista and he knew it, so he took that Vista crap and got me a new one with Win 7 on it, I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am with it.

                                                                            If you're not getting the speed you want, try reinstalling. Not only that, but try using a PC that wasn't designed with the XP era in mind. Remember, XP is old tech and SO many cool things in Win7 simply don't exist in XP. Windows 7 makes me more productive as I can search quicker, move files easier, use newer better apps that aren't XP compatible etc ...

                                                                            Windows 7 is better. Fact.
