What I don't understand is why Windows 7 won't let me select 1280x960 resolution; would be the correct 4:3 res for an old CRT monitor, right? Also doesn't let me select Hz; just "hardware default", which leeds to one of my monitors not working (thing reports 72Hz at 1280*960, but is only capable of 70Hz at that res. ). Seems a rather basic piece of hardware support, wouldn't you say?

Apart from that, it's great. Runs on pretty much the same amount of resources as XP (far from the hog Vista is), and I even installed the onboard LAN with XP drivers (compatibility mode) because there are no Vista ones. Works Great.

Running on old AMD Athlon 2GHz with 1GB DDR, IDE drives and Radeon HD2600 AGP. Faster then XP.

After skipping on Vista (not just because of all the crap people said about it), I'm actually looking forward to this one.
