Windows 7

says:
That might explain why DDR2 at 1066MHz hits about 8533MB/s, while DDR3 at 1600MHz can swallow up to 12800MB/s. You’re looking at a third more bandwidth there... so, maybe that's the reason. And then there's the latency, obviously. I don't quite grasp why you're acting so surprised by this, or why you're basing your entire perspective on some benchmark from Microsoft's beta operating system...

PS: The fact that the OS is 32-bit shouldn't really change the math here. It makes little sense to give it the highest score just because its ceiling is capped at 4GB.

Fair enough, it's better to be "surprised" than to simply be confused. Thanks.

Hey, can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get Windows 7 Home Premium activated?

You can actually grab a free beta key directly from the Microsoft website 😉

Man, I gave it a shot, but it just won't work for me!

Come on, just send over the link!

Man, I gave it a shot and it just won't budge! Is there any chance someone actually registered it?

Man, I gave it a shot and still nothing!

Stop spamming me

I'm seeing the exact same 5.7 on my visa

I agree, 👍
Hey there, Nicholas Collins68 😁!

Hey Nicholas Collins68 😁

Hey Robin... what's new with you? 😁

By the way, are you sticking with Vista for a while, or jumping straight to Windows 7 when it drops?

Nothing much new here 😁
One day, once this computer finally gives up the ghost, I'll pick up a new one and install Vista first, then move on to Windows 7. 😁
I really want to give Vista a spin, and honestly, Windows XP is still working great for me. 😍

I’m seriously torn on whether I should jump to Windows 7 or just stay put... right now I’ve got this cracked version of Windows XP Service Pack 3 running a Vista skin, and man, it is smooth sailing! It’s lightning fast, barely uses any RAM, everything—apps, games, you name it—works perfectly without a single freeze or virus headache. Honestly? It's the best. I’ve messed around with tons of sketchy builds from 😁, but I’m so happy with this setup that I don't see much point in switching to a new OS.

I mean, sure, I’d love to give Windows 7 a spin, but since my XP is (finally!) working exactly how it should, I really don't want to touch a thing. 😉

Just create a new partition, install Windows 7 alongside your current OS via dual boot, and give it a shot; if you don't like it, just wipe it

I’m running Windows 7 on my machine and, honestly, I couldn't be more satisfied with it...

Yeah, I was right there with you until I realized my TV tuner was being a total pain and just wouldn't work on Windows 7, even though I tried using those drivers from Vista... so I ended up jumping back over to Vista pretty quickly, and now I'm just hanging out waiting for Service Pack 2 🙂

Man, I’m holding off on installing Windows 7 until the final version actually drops—I am definitely not looking to deal with all those beta bugs and glitches...

Maybe I will too. Might just stick with Vista! 😁

I’m trying to figure out if it’s actually possible to reinstall Windows without wiping everything first. Here’s the situation: I’m running a cracked version of Windows XP, and it keeps throwing errors at me constantly. I want to perform a clean install over the existing one, but I really don't want to delete my files beforehand. Does anyone know if this works? Thanks.
