I have Firefox 3.5 for Win 7 64-bit and I noticed that it takes about 50% of resources when/while playing Flash videos such as Youtube. At first I couldnt play any flash content as it didnt support firefox 64-bit. Well now I can play flash in Firefox but it takes a lot of resource. I do not have the problem with the latest MS IE as I did install MS IE 32-bit and 64-bit. But I dont think MS IE is good as Firefox. It is still a bit buggy. Now I know it is still in development, meaning win 7 RC but I am curios if anyone of you had a similar problem. Besides that Win 7 RC works great with the TX2. HP did the right step to work with MS together regarding Win 7.

In my experience, Flash videos take a lot of CPU no matter which browser you use to play them.

No argument from me on GeekTieGuy's point.

Adobe doesn't have a version of flash out specifically for Win7, so perhaps performance will improve when Adobe releases something.
