Want another perspective on Windows 7 RC performance on a netbook system? Check out David M. William’s article over at iTWire where he takes the release candidate for a spin on a “modern Acer Aspire One” netbook. The system specs are pretty much like the NC10 I installed the RC on – an Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, and a spacious notebook hard drive.

After booting the OS up, Williams compiles another of interesting statistics. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the stats:

• Windows 7 consumes around 465MB of RAM after boot – similar to what we got with NC10 (we hovered around 420MB or so)
• Windows 7 rating was a 2.1 (out of 7.9). (we also got a 2.1 on our NC10) Note you can’t compare this number against Vista because the max rating has changed. It’s only comparable against other 7 machines.
• As expected, the video performance was the weakest (but of course given the Intel integrated graphics)

The final word? He could help but feel that his system needed more ram and processor (speed I think?)
