Why is windows 7 so slow? - GoFuckYourself.com

mkx · 01-04-2010, 04:39 PM

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

stickyfingerz · 01-04-2010, 04:41 PM

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.

Jdoughs · 01-04-2010, 04:44 PM

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

xenigo · 01-04-2010, 04:45 PM

Sounds like you need to uninstall the spyware & trojans.

Nurgle · 01-04-2010, 04:46 PM

u answered your own question!

james_clickmemedia · 01-04-2010, 04:52 PM

because its windows i guess.
I am leaving the computers in the office with xp on them.

If Windows 7 is slow for you then you suck.

You are the first person I have seen say anything negative about win7

mkx · 01-04-2010, 05:20 PM

Using Intel Atom CPU N270 @ 1.60 GHZ 1.00 GB Ram Brand new Asus EEE Box computer. I know it's not the best computer but its brand new and just did a fresh install of windows 7 ultimate.

baddog · 01-04-2010, 05:23 PM

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

mkx · 01-04-2010, 05:28 PM

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

Jdoughs · 01-04-2010, 05:28 PM

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.

Brad Mitchell · 01-04-2010, 05:30 PM

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.

stickyfingerz · 01-04-2010, 05:43 PM

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

It's a netbook -- standard specs.

windows 7 runs much faster on my netbook vs windows xp

That's the Atom processor, just meant for tiny netbooks. They aren't good for anything but surfing the web and emailing with maximum battery life. They have been around only since 2008.

I think the fastest one they make today is 2Ghz.

StuartD · 01-04-2010, 05:47 PM

user error?

Fat Panda · 01-04-2010, 05:53 PM

cause windows 7 fucking sucks

xenigo · 01-04-2010, 05:56 PM

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.

MaDalton · 01-04-2010, 06:07 PM

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

Miguel T · 01-04-2010, 06:19 PM

Slow? It sure is faster than Vista.

qwe · 01-04-2010, 06:26 PM

you should of tried installing it with 512mb of ram

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.

MsCheyenne · 01-04-2010, 07:56 PM

Windows 7 is the only MS operating system that I have liked. I find it much faster and all around better than XP or Vista. Hmmm...have you ran a spy sweep lately?

Cheyenne

Twisted Dave · 01-05-2010, 12:46 AM

I use Windows 7 and it's brutally fast. I don't have any problems 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.

That 1gb of ram is definitely holding you back

Use ReadyBoost! I have it installed on a memorycard and it DO speed up a little!
That being said - Try to clean up crap with CCleaner and NCleaner.

More the case that he installed W7 Ultimate on 1gb ram.

I have W7 Ultimate on my netbook, but it has 3gb ram, and it runs fast.
Love my HP Mini 311 :D

Raf1 · 01-05-2010, 09:35 AM

it's working fine here

stoner529 · 01-05-2010, 09:40 AM

1 gb will work if you dont do anything. that is the bare minimum for a 32 bit system.

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...uirements.aspx.

you always need more then that? do you ever look at your task manager to see how much gb and memory you use?

TMM_John · 01-05-2010, 09:44 AM

Windows 7 is garbage. Everyone says its faster, but I installed it on my 486DX2 and it runs really slow. Fucking Microsoft. I'm getting a Mac like that guy on the commercial tells me I should.

_Richard_ · 01-05-2010, 09:46 AM

looks like you need more ram

mkx · 01-08-2010, 12:17 AM
