Hello John. I?m using Seven on "all" my computers, from a 3000+ Athlon(1 core)/1GB, passing thru my laptop Athlon TK57(2 cores)/4GB up to the Phenom 8650(3 cores)/4GB desktop. Even an old 1300MHz Tualatin Celeron with 512MB.
IT WORKS! ?fine, good, bad?.... it works, flawlessly. 2 computers with 64bits version and 2 with 32 bits version. The Celeron goes fine, not too fast, but enough for an office usage and internet. I`m using on my both main computers the following software: /Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Firefox, Trillian 3, Skype, WinSCP, Putty, WinMTR OpenOffice 3.1 Scribus (1.3.3.13), Inkscape, Gimp, Blender, Google Sketchup Aimp, Media Player Classic, VirtualDub (and Mod), ffdshow(k-lite+etc), Avisynth, Jahshaka 7zip, Infrarecorder/ VirtualBox qemu (emulating OLPC -XO-) On my laptop is also installed: xHarbour, Harbour, Borland C++ 5.5, OpenWatcom, PellesC, Firebird 2.1 and FlameRobin, plus some special text editors. And the Athlon 3000 also has: Audition and Audacity. Again: Flawlessly Everytime i find a 64bits version of any program, i give it a try, usually they work fine, unless on beta or alike. Every 32bits program has worked as always did. Dont fall into scare, if you seek for issues, surely you`ll find some, i'm always trying to find solutions, and i had never found any issue. Anyway, there has been nothing that didn't work, except for some very very old programs, mostly DOS, but they work on virtalbox+freedos, bochs, qemu or any other emulator/VM. There is also some really old hardware that does not work, but even an old SoundBlaster live! value is working (kxdriver). Have a nice time reinstalling. PS: BTW, almost everything is also working fine on Linux (x64).....
