Windows 7 Build 7032/Build 7048 64bit leaked?

[wguimb]

I am enjoying the heck out of testing build 7048. So far, so good.

The only issue I have seen (and I haven't check my submitted bugs yet) is that the video driver for my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop is not working. My laptop uses an Mobile Intel GM965 Express Chipset. It's the same problem I had with the x86 and x64 versions of build 7000 and 7022. I have to use the "Standard VGA driver". Otherwise I get a wacked out plasma-like display with off colors that is very hard to read. I have tried ever driver under the sun, from Intel, from Dell, for Vista (all versions), using Administrator, using compatibility mode, you name it. The driver that came with Win7 and the one that is on Windows Update do not work. I opened problem tickets with Dell and Intel but both responded that Windows 7 is not supported yet. Such is the life of a beta tester. If anyone has loaded 7048 x64 on a Inspiron 1525 and the video driver works, please let me know the driver version and firmware number. Thanks.

Here's a photo of the wacked out plasma-like display. Anybody got any ideas?

Missing graphics driver on an old Intel graphics chip. Back when I was inexperienced, I tried running Vista beta 1 on an HP 753n and it was no different. Except mine looked more like a zombie display than it did a wacked out display like yours. So look for a graphics driver that works on Vista, install it as an Administrator AND have it run under Vista or Vista SP1 compatibility mode.

Thanks but I have been there, done that.

I am making a bootable ISO DVD now. Here's what you need to do....

You must be really bored to waste that much time on it :rofl:

That's also valid for the other longwinded instructions to create a bootable Dvd.

All you actually need is CL-Tools4Win from Camtech2000 (Freeware), which includes CD Image4Win.

Simply choose the folder with the files, where to save the .iso, and activate the "Boot" option, selecting "Vista Ultimate".

Worked fine here :cool:

I am bored, I'm on disability leave. I had a liver transplant back in October.

There are many ways to create a bootable UDF ISO. Thanks for your input as well. :)

There apparently is a 32bit of 7048!! I have no idea whether it's fake or not :rolleyes: but it looks legit!

[bagpus]

yep it would seem real,

[wguimb]

It is confirmed real!

[xJakex]

Yeah, the guy that posted the leak has posted many other leaks and is a trusted user, so it was pretty obvious from that point that it would be real, can't wait to use it :D

There, didn't I know it.

Hope you're all better soon again :)

No problem, thought it would come in handy.

Also - yes, it is indeed real :yes:

Afraid you have to wait lol. Currently it's snail speed. :blush:

[»X«]

Mines done. Installing in 5 minutes :D

[xJakex]

My average was 142 kB/s and I started the install about 10 mins ago, I'm on my other computer right now watching it install. Are you downgrading your build? :laugh:

[Digitalx]

someone check if/when they get x86 7048 if it has WEI playing up too ?

Installed it..WEI for HDD is low as usual. Disabling Write Caching doesn't work anymore though..

My HDD score stayed the same (5.9) but my gaming graphics dropped a lot....from 6.7 down to 6.0, not sure why. Could be due to running Vista drivers on Win7, guess I'll have to wait till 9.3 cats to get a better measurement.

Nice! I am grabbing 32bit now. I have a quad core but originally installed a 32bit copy and want to upgrade. When final comes I will probably install the 64bit.

Having a quad core has nothing to do with it. People mainly focus on memory when looking at 32-bit vs. 64-bit.

My average was 310 kB/s.

Same here, my Gaming Graphics took a similar nose dive from 6.9 to 6.0 :pinch:

Catalyst 9.2 installed on 7000 and 7048.

Eventually I'd like to have over 3gb of ram so I will want to upgrade. Either way 64 bit is the future.

I agree completely. I run 64 bit on all of my machines. The way you phrased it, I wasn't sure if you were thinking that there was a difference between 32-bit and 64-bit functionality on a quad core CPU.

[qwertz123]

is the 32 bit one the same as the 64bit one? i mean (after using vista for almost 2 years thats it now) its just so f* heavy retarded that i may be just maybe go out tomorrow and buy me an xbox with some heavy kool atvi hero **** on it....
