Linux on the Q1 Ultra. (view large image) If you’re looking to convert a Q1U to something resembling the N800’s big brother and don’t mind losing Windows in the process, UME may be for you. The advantage is that the Samsung Q1U is the main test platform for this project, so hardware support is good. Installing Windows 7 RTM on an old Samsung Q1 UMPC: Perfect! Yesterday I stumbled upon a blog talking about the installation of Windows 7 RC on a Samsung Q1 UMPC. I decided to give it a try with Windows 7 RTM and must say I do not regret the choice.

Nearly a year ago, I. I still have it laying around, although it hasn’t gotten much use lately. I tried using it for a while as a mobile TV device when my wife and I go on trips with the kids, but the 1GB RAM and the 4200 RPM hard drive were not enough to keep just about any video from stuttering to the point of unwatchable. So this Christmas, I got brave, and decided to perform some minor surgery on this underpowered little device. For just about $50, my Q1 now has 2GB RAM, as well as an Intel WiFi Link 4965AGN card.

Coupled with a clean install of the Windows 7 Beta, I now have a mobile entertainment system that streams media from my home network, and plays it off the hard drive, with ease. It is also surprisingly responsive to everyday tasks like web browsing and e-mail. So how did I do it? The Parts • • The Tools • • • A wee bit of patience The Process If you follow the video, you should be able to get the thing open in relatively short order. The secret is a clip under the VGA access door, and then popping the case over the headphone jack. On my model, the memory was on top, and the WiFi was underneath the mainboard, but YMMV.

But be careful, as the Ethernet card is mounted as a daughter card to the motherboard, I’d highly recommend leaving it screwed in. I took mine out, and my wired internet connection no longer works:(. The Result Windows 7 appears to have adjusted their Windows Experience Index scores (also known as WinSAT) as a result of. You’d never get Microsoft to admit that is the reason, but I’d be willing to bet money that’s why my WinSAT scores dropped half a point for the processor, and a full point for the Intel 945 integrated graphics (which is at the center of the Vista Capable suit).

The only thing that stayed the same was my crappy hard drive. The memory upgrade, coupled with the speed and memory footprint improvements in Windows 7, have FINALLY made my Q1 a pleasure to use. It feels much zippier and responsive, and I don’t have to wait for well, hardly anything, even at 800MHz. I’ve started using it as an eBook reader, so that I can take books with me on the go. And with the new HomeGroup built right in to Media Center, I can *FINALLY* use it to watch TV the way I want to. Though you still can’t use it as a full-blown extender, you CAN still watch Recorded TV, without skipping or lagging. Final Thoughts The only thing I’m still not happy with is the hard drive.

Fun, infectious singles 'Dance wiv Me'--featuring R&B singer Chrome and disco don Calvin Harris, 'Holiday' and 'Bonkers' (featuring Armand Van Helden) have all landed high in the UK charts, and are solid indicators of the rest of the album. On Tongue N Cheek, Dizzee finally does way with the gnarly 8-bit bleeps of his album Showtime and the swagger of Maths+English to reach fully for the pop crown. Black boy da kid. After winning the Mercury Prize with his brash debut Boy In Da Corner, the rapper's brand of edgy council-estate rap has increasingly become aware of mainstream tastes, and his fan base has grown wider accordingly. Slick production, catchy hooks and a mainstream club atmosphere are in abundance here as the rapper delivers a relentlessly upbeat mix of street tales and good, dirty fun on 'Road Rage', 'Money Money' and the stomping 'Dirtee Cash', (which utilises 1990 hip-house smash 'Dirty Cash (Money Talks)'. Dizzee Rascal’s career has been on the rise since it started.

I think if it had an SSD, it would be far more responsive. I’m looking at getting one of the, but now computer upgrades get to compete for attention with the ‘66 Mustang my parents gave their adult children for Christmas (they drive it around the country every few months and let one of us use it it’s my turn until the spring). Maybe if someone gave me one for review *cough cough* I could report back any improvements. I was also thinking about the cheaper SuperTalent PCIe SSD but then if I wanted to put in a WWAN card, I’d be out of luck. But for now, I’m anxious to see if my beefier UMPC will make me any more productive. No caveats, really. I've gone Windows 7 on all my machines.

On one I did a build-over-build upgrade from the leaked 6956 build to 7000, and didn't have any issues. On another one I upgraded from Vista SP2 and had teh same result. Yes, it will timebomb at some point, but it's not going to brick your Q1 at all. You will be able to upgrade from the Beta to RTM, but I always recommend a clean install whenever possible.
