| | installing windows 8 Hi, I'm downloading the consumer preview of windows 8, and I have some questions.. 1) Is this beta release of Windows 8 updatable? can i update it without installing everytime a new version? 2) When Windows 8 will be officially released, can I update my Windows 7 32-bit without saving all my documents and applications? (like the update from Vista to 7) 3) Will Windows 8 Beta work on this computer?: - Intel Pentium 4 Northwood @2,53 GHz - 2GB DDR PC-3200 - Radeon 9600 Pro AGP 8x 256 MB DDR (i'm going to buy an HD 2xxx/3xxx/4xxx if necessary) - Asus P4P8X motherboard (Windows 7 worked, but without Aero effects because Windows 7 doesn't support SiS driver of the P4P8X) |

| | 1- No one knows, but probably not. 2-Again we dont know but if win 7 gives any clue I doubt it. 3-Barely and probably not Aero/metro. One key thing is your computer has to be able to display at least 1024 x 768 resolution or it wont work. |

| | ok, I installed it and works great! Aero is supported too! Windows 7 didn't recognize SiS driver for the ASUS P4P8X... but Windows 8 did it! I'm running it on a Pentium 4 Northwood @2,53GHz, 2 GB RAM and a Radeon 9600 Pro (256 MB DDR)... The system is fast (not very fast, but i'm able to do a lot of things). Aero effects are slow (because the Radeon 9600 Pro is VERY old), so i'll buy a new AGP grapics card on ebay (like the Radeon HD 3650) |
