I'm getting ready to upgrade several old Pentium4-based Dell desktops with the Intel 6700MUD motherboard and 4GB of RAM. Does anyone out there have any experience with Windows 8 and the Atom 6700 CPU? I know it won't be a speed demon, but it would be much better than an old P4-based box with 2GB of RAM and onboard graphics, for sure! I'm looking for a good "upgrade" solution for the people I know who have a 5-8 year old Dell that is running WinXP and they want to upgrade but $ is tight.
I built a system based on the Intel 6500 CPU a few weeks ago and it ran Windows 7 really well with 2GB of RAM. HD videos ran smoothly and the Intel HD audio was outstanding and I was quite impressed. Thanks in advance!
