I've put windows 7 on my spare HDD and its really fast compared to xp!!! Missing aero, but you can't have everything, biggest issue is having no video driver, anyone installed one / made one that works?
Btw I have 768mb ram (wei 3.7) 1.7 p4 (wei 1.7) ati 7500 (wei 1 & 1) and a spare bad sector HDD (40 GB original IBM travel star, I'll put windows 7 on my new HDD upon getting a graphic driver!
EDIT - I'm back on XP now due to no gpu driver and it's still much slower at browsing files (its a new-ish HDD!!) because it has to load the file info every folder you open :/
