what part don't you understand about wanting to utilize all of your ram to increase speed and performance? :|

The part where you proclaimed that 32-bit sucks. Why does it suck? Because you have lots of RAM? Well I don't have lots of RAM and let me assure you, 32-bit does not suck. And I have no problem with 64-bit. In fact I am getting a 64-bit system myself when Windows 7 is released. What annoys me is how the 64-bit people put down 32-bit just because they don't have any use for it. Just because it's not for you doesn't mean it automatically sucks. That's all I'm saying.

okay for me and others 32 bit sucks.

There's also the fact that any single 32bit application can only address 2GB of RAM by itself, no matter how much you have installed. This is rather tight for a lot of things, including games, image editing, rendering, etc.

64bit applications can use pretty much as much RAM as they want, and there are tangible performance gains from it. For example, the minimum framrates in 64bit Crysis scales very well, showing improvement all the way up to 8GB of RAM.

okay for me and others 32 bit sucks.

I use 64-bit, but 32-bit doesn't "suck". Plenty of people are still on 1-2 GB RAM machines, and x64 would be overkill for them due to the added overhead of 64-bit addresses. 32-bit still has its niche and will for quite some time yet.

ok, new here, first post. I'm thinking of installing a b?ta version of windows 7. Is this safe? Can I return easily to vista on my laptop? My recovery is done by an HP recovery parition on my HP laptop. So if I install windows 7, this won't overwrite this partition and make it impossible to return to vista with a recovery?

If safely possible to return, how about current software, do they work together? And which version should I install? Is build 7048 stable enough or should I go for 7057?

thx in advance for your help, eager to try out windows 7 ;-)

I just downloaded x64 build 7057, but the hash is:

BFF2E78CFD61A23D9910B9E25A3025D01992218A

The filename is:

7057.0.090305-2000_x64fre_client_en-us_Retail_Ultimate-GB1CULXFRER_EN_DVD

Anyone know if this is legit?

what type of hash? the hashes should be as follows

MD5 :- 3e262526f9a758c5b3624910a05c2699

SHA1 :- b79d4552a7a871901e881ae308f9188e04a4f929

CRC32 :- 22ef1237

Not sure what type of hash it is. I'm using "Vuze" aka Azureus. When I right click on the torrent and click on "Show Details", the details page just shows one hash which is labeled, "Hash".

Like this:

Hash: BFF2E78CFD61A23D9910B9E25A3025D01992218A

Edit:

Just installed uTorrent and it shows the same thing. Just:

Hash: BFF2E78CFD61A23D9910B9E25A3025D01992218A

Hiya,

can anyone tell me where I can find the expiry date of Win 7 on my system plz?

I have build 7057 which apparently runs out on the 1st of March 2010 but I can't find that screen on my system.

I do have a screen similar to the one shown above, which shows my name and the build- the 'About Microsoft Management Console' screen.

type winver or slmgr.vbs -dlv in Run command (press Win logo key + R) or in search and hit enter.

    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.

    • Microsoft, why can't I just turn off Copilot on my MS account (in order to stop OneDrive from wanting to summarize everything, ahem) in a way that doesn't break OneNote instead?
