So i recently installed windows 7 (upgrade) on my XPS M1530 laptop and I do some light gaming on it ever so often. Well, all i can say is after i installed 7 the games run about 10 to 15 FPS faster than in vista and are much smoother. I feel as though the power of the laptop was let free compared to vista. I can play cod 4 + 5 smoothly now when I coudlnt under vista and so forth. I never thought there would be that big of a difference but man I was wrong.. any of you guys try it yet?

I tried it a few times both inside and outside of VM's, Microsoft can keep their fucking forced audio-decoding DRM.

I'll let you know once I fix my PC and get off this old ass laptop mac ibook. I imagine it'll be good but nothing huge compared to how XP performs. Shame it seems it might be my graphics card that's the problem :| and my motherboard has no on board graphics card to use to hook my Monitor up to... ah well
