Keef,
What is the performance like?
The T42
AFAIK comes with a single-core 32-bit Pentium M up to 1.8GHz, with a max of 2GB RAM and a GPU with up to 128MB RAM. Not the sort of spec. to run Windows 7 with any degree of urgency, I'd have thought.
I've got a similarly speced Compaq, which used to run XP satisfactorily - I tried Win 7 32-bit, but it was unsatisfactory, so installed a Linux distro instead, which is "adequate".
