HP Announces Six Core Istanbul Workstation – Tom’s Hardware
Everyone wants a powerful computer. With this HP, you can have up to 12 processors. With Windows 7, this computer will be a powerhouse.
It really took some time to get use to an Eee PC. The tiny keyboard and screen just seemed to small. With 1 GB of RAM and a 160 GB harddrive, I decided to load and test both Windows 7 and Window XP. With the Intel Atom and chipset, Windows XP performed well, however, Windows 7 appeared to outperform Windows XP hands down.
After testing Windows 7 in VirtualBox and tweaking the memory all the way down to 256 mb, the operating system is smooth. All of the add-ons and features makes it fun to use. Applications such as Adobe, FoxIT, Microsoft Office Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook and Access opens significantly faster. With a tiny netbook with a 1.6 Ghz processor and 1 GB of memory, Windows 7’s code is tweaked to use a wide variety of software and hardware.

Although I told myself that I would not like the little netbooks, these little jewels are great. If you purchase one, get the 10″ screen and a small external hard drive. Although a 160 GB hard drive is large enough for a small office computer, you may want to store pictures and documents on an external drive.
With today’s 64 bit CPUs, Windows 7 will support ANY amount of memory and as many processors as a motherbard supports (hundreds).

Download Windows 7 and test/try it out. Use VirtualBox to isolate the Operating System on your home computer.
