Today I downloaded and installed the 32-Bit Windows 7 RC1 to my Dell Studio 15 laptop. Everything is running great so far. My laptop has 3GB of RAM and windows 7 with aero on, high performance power setting, and my anti-virus and firewall (ESET) running takes up only 700 MB of system memory, that’s some great optimization. I plan on giving the 64-Bit version a try on my desktop computer to see how it runs.

    That’s good news hehe =) I have a Dell Studio 1537 and I want to give 64-bit Win7 a try since Vista seems to ‘kill’ the 3GB RAM and Core 2 Duo on mine. Just wondering if is there any problem with finger print reader and media controls (media direct) How are they running so far in yours?

    Media controls work fine, but my finger print reader stopped working a while ago (Even with Vista it didn’t work). It slowly started to work less and less and now it doesn’t work at all. Windows 7 DOES recognize it, but I think there is something wrong with my hardware so I can’t say for sure if it works or not.
