    I tried installing W7 on my Dell XPS 1210, but noticed problems with its graphics drivers. Firstly, enabling aero made moving windows incredibly slow! (much slower than was on Vista). When I check the WEI, it said that I only got a "1" on the "graphics" subscore. I got the nvidia driver from windows updates, so I supposed that it was properly tested. I tried the driver from Nvidia's website to no avail either. Any ideas?

    I just read a few threads with people having similar problems with the GO 7400 in Windows 7 x64. Things to try: update your BIOS and/or install in Vista compatibility mode.
