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.

    • I just looked on my computer and there are settings and log files for utilities I have never even turned on!
    • O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 by Razvan Serea O&O ShutUp10 offers a simple yet effective way to take control of your Windows privacy. It provides access to almost 50 privacy-related tweaks, most of them hidden or not easily accessible to the average computer users. Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10/11 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated. Using ShutUp10 you can easily disable Windows Defender, turn off telemetry, disable peer-to-peer updates, turn off Wi-Fi Sense, disable automatic Windows updates, turn off and reset Cortana and more. ShutUp10 allows you to create a System Restore point before you apply any changes, so that you can revert your system at any time if you run into problems. O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days! O&O ShutUp10 Free and Premium The latest version brings O&O ShutUp10 Premium, expanding the app’s long-standing privacy controls with automatic enforcement of user-defined settings. Instead of manually rechecking options after every Windows update, users can set their preferred privacy configuration once—or apply recommended settings in a single click—and the tool continuously monitors them in the background. If Windows 10 or 11 re-enables disabled features or introduces new data collection paths, Premium restores the chosen settings automatically without user intervention. The free version remains available and fully functional for manual adjustments, offering the same core privacy controls for Windows. However, the Premium tier is aimed at users who want long-term, hands-off protection, adding automatic reapplication after updates, ongoing monitoring, and optional notifications to ensure privacy settings remain consistent over time. O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 changelog: Added “Show Differences” button in the overview panel “Don’t show again” option for the restore point prompt Ctrl+F keyboard shortcut for search/filter functionality Detection and linking of system-wide and user-specific setting associations Automatic search while typing PREM: Option to preserve notification counters and timestamps across application restarts PREM: Reset blocked settings button in the Settings dialog PREM: Informational message when no settings are blocked PREM: Update check can also be triggered from the menu PREM: Notification deduplication and activity log summary feature Improved L005 “Disable Windows Location Service”: Version-specific split (up to Windows 11 23H2) and new variant for Windows 11 24H2+ L001 (Disable Location): Added Night Light warning to the description in all languages Search now detects setting IDs even when ID display is disabled and offers to enable it Detection and removal of Copilot/AI desktop apps in RecallTerminator Optimized High DPI support PREM: Reset button is now only enabled when blocked items exist – setting IDs are shown in the confirmation dialog PREM: Updated tray icons with higher-resolution versions PREM: Activity Log timestamps now use localized date and time formats PREM: Tray icon status now uses OK/Warning indicators and localized tooltips PREM: Recall folder detection switched to service-based detection PREM: Copilot uninstallation now provides UI feedback and improved verification Fixed Description text was not displayed correctly for the last item and disappeared when clicking the scrollbar Crash when clicking a search result heading or the […] button PREM: Installation path is now correctly preserved during upgrades PREM: Tray icon was not reliably removed when exiting the application PREM: Main window was not displayed correctly in single-instance mode PREM: Incorrect display of the & symbol in tray icon tooltips on Windows 10 PREM: Fixed notification flooding after sleep/standby PREM: Dashboard was not refreshed after applying recommended settings during onboarding PREM: Progress bar was not reset after deleting Recall folders PREM: Fixed service startup failures PREM: Fixed incorrect drift detection when Automatic Protection was disabled PREM: Notifications now correctly count all deviating settings when protection is enabled PREM: Registration Wizard was shown after sleep/standby despite a valid license Download: O&O ShutUp10 3.1.1104 | 76.4 MB (Freeware) Download: O&O ShutUp10 32-bit | ARM64 View: O&O ShutUp10 Home Page | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Fascinating...W h i t e P o w e r is now also asterisks out.  
    • In the past few days I have noticed two odd moderation activities. First, when I posted the term 'White Nationist Christian' it was asterisk's out. When I changed it to **** it was allowed! Second, in the Politics is a ###business thread I was allowed to post that the GOP is a party of p e d ophiles but I was censored  when I posted the GOP are a party of p e d ophile protectors. Wtf Neowin. Please explain.
