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.
