Just a quick question. Minimal requirements concerning RAM and CPU?

I found the QnA thread and found my answer, sorry for this post!

Theres nothing official right now, all has been said is that if your system runs Vista then it will run 7. Also on the same system you can expect 7 to be at least as fast (performance wise) as Vista assuming you've got decent drivers.

I don't know who creamhackered is lol.

He's a pretty well respected member of the Windows Beta community. He's been around for a while now, that I know of at least since the XP/Longhorn betas, and has (most) always had reliable and accurate information. He knows what he's saying, so coming into a thread and claiming what he says is "probably fake" is not wise.

I see. Good info to know. I'm not the type to scream fake at every single post in a beta thread. It's always funny to go back like a year later and see that all the people that were crying fake were completely wrong :)

The only thing that could change 7000 from being beta 1 is this MP3 fiasco but as far as I am aware they haven't had time to recompile and instead have done a QFE patch to be pushed out :) 7015 was the latest but that will have changed now as all the MS folk are back to work and compiling hard again.

True, a person can be wrong. However, if you look at the reputation that creamhackered has earned for himself, you would find it unlikely that he would be posting information without knowing what he is talking about. As was earlier mentioned, those of us who were around for the XP betas and Longhorn betas can attest to his credibility. It is always entertaining come beta time to see the users that start throwing around build numbers and guesses about release dates as if they have a clue.

Im not saying he is wrong. Im just saying, unless he is an Internal Microsoft worker*, he cannot prove, unless he has the dvd/iso on him, so he COULD be wrong. Also, I said I HOPE, not I know. I guess I could say, Its always entertaining come beta time, some user will come and ridicule other users because they are guessing release times, because they DO want to try the new beta software.

* He lives in London, Uk, according to his location.

I wasn't referring to you in that quote. I was making a general reference to the fact that come beta time, there are so many people that all of a sudden start throwing out dates and build numbers, that it is hard to keep track of who is credible and who is just blurting out numbers. I want to get my hands on the x64 version of this beta just as bad as anybody else. However, all of the guessing in the world isn't going to do any good. I apologize if you perceived it as an attack on you -- I certainly didn't mean for it to be.

Connect works, i'm logged in :) no Windows 7 :p

Also 7015.0.081218-1724 does not seem right.

6.1.7013.0 was built 081220-1600 - So how can Build 7015 be built before 7013 am i making sense?

So Build 7015 is 18th Dec 08

And Build 7013 is 20th Dec 08

See where i'm coming from?

v6.1.7003 was 01/12/08

v6.1.7004 was 03/12/08

v6.1.7012 was 15/12/08

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
