I have used Peacekeeper by Futuremark (before MadOnion) for benchmarking on my laptop (HP Compaq nx6110). Every browser was tested once (and sometimes more times) and these are my best results: Windows XP SP 3 Google Chrome 6.0.401.1 - 2769 Opera 10.51 - 1890 Google Chrome 5.0.307.1 - 1813 Google Chrome 4.0.213.1 - 1641 Apple Safari 4.0.3 - 1562 Google Chrome 3.0.195.6 - 1553 Mozilla Firefox 3.6 - 1452 Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 - 1060 Arora 0.8.0 - 1023 Opera 10.00 beta 3 - 921 Microsoft Internet Explorer 8.0 - 393 Ubuntu 9.10 Chromium 6.0.417.0 (39184) Ubuntu - 3025 Chromium 5.0.330.0 (39184) Ubuntu - 1860 Mozilla Firefox 3.5.8 - 819 Ubuntu 9.04 Opera 10.00 beta - 728 Arora 0.5.0 - 707 Mozilla Firefox 3.0.13 - 479

There was a huge discussion between Intel company and owners of laptops with Intel Graphics Media Accelerators. Because lack of Intel drivers for Vista and therefore also for Windows 7 there was problem with video playback and hardware acceleration. But it seems that this problem can be over. Just for fun I started Windows 7 today on my laptop and I checked actualizations. I was very surprised when I saw I Intel driver and Slovak localization in updates. I have downloaded and installed them. I restarted and everything seems to be OK. Of course there is no Aero theme, but video playback works and I launched Quake III Arena without problems. I have made a screenshot with full localization and "Graphics Properties" window: You can see that the Intel Graphics window looks like in Windows XP and I think there is no big change, it just works under 7. Windows 7 is on my laptop even more usable now. In fact, everything works fine just like in XP. I benchmarked both systems with Geek...

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM).

Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha...
