For gaming performance comparisons we used pre-recorded demos and ran them at the different resolutions noted below on Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 7 Beta 1. All test results were computed from actual Frames Per Second results achieved with each operating system at the specified resolutions. 1280x800 represents the native resolution for the notebook test system.
