    "Duo is better, hard on the single core systems"

    January 30, 2007  |   By teacee90

    Pros

    I like the graphics, new windows media center, new look in general, easy to find files and applications. Better security and easy to setup networking capabilities.

    Cons

    Resource hungry, it has to many tasks running in the background.

    I ran Vista on a 3.5ghz 1 gb of ram and 256mb graphic card, World of Warcraft ran just fine, but all in all my system ran slower, the Windows XP, I would defiently run this on a duo core or better, still slow starting and shut down compared to my Apple G5
