I'm running an OLD Pentium-D machine, a gift, as one of my 4
workstations at my desk, this is the second oldest machine I use, the
other is a 3.2ghz Hyper-Threaded machine, not even the new Core
machines, and it's almost as fast as the Pentium-D, but the D supports
x64 and the other doesn't. I won't mention the i7 or other machines
since we're talking about older machine performance.
My machine is a Sony Vaio (free gift), so don't make fun of it
Sony Corporation VGC-RA840G R4863110
Windows 7 Professional (x64) (build 7600)
2.80 gigahertz Intel Pentium D
4GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
Dual Acer P221W 22" LCD panels
HP1200 B/W Laser Printer
OKI C5500n Color Laser Printer
Windows 7 runs only a tad slower than XP Prof, but it appears to be more
stable than XP+SP3 was. Full support for all resolutions on LCD, full
support for printers, including Matt/Glossy print on C5500n printer,
full sound support.
Ubuntu, slower than XP, does not fully support the Wide resolutions on
these monitors, have to settle for lower res (Since I normally run at
the highest resolution), HP1200 fully supported, OKI does not have full
support.
