I just installed Windows 7 64bit onto my Dell 1501, Turion x2 1.8GHz, 4GB ram, ATI 1150. System runs great, very fast. I have noticed, when I am on battery, the graphics part is not as smooth; like areo features and playing HD video. While plugged in, HD video and Areo are smooth.
I had Vista 32bit loaded before and did not notice such a slow down. Do you think this is because Windows 7 has more power saver features for the CPU/GPU? Driver issue? 32 vs 64 thing?
I can live with the slow down, as it does not slow Windows down at all and it nothing major on Areo.
