Cool Beans Im getting that one now
At an Amazing 8.6kbs!!

it's good to know there are people out there who are slower than me! I was downloading it at 24kB/sec, because I have reached the 10GB Limit on my 1MB Line, yeah in our country the stupid ISPs have these stupid limits, if I cross the limit I'm down to a 128kb line

If i go over my limit of 12gig, i get capped at 64kbs

I think the problem is more likely the fact that these re not "official" ISO's. They're sort of hacked to install using older files in some cases, so there may be issues because of this.

I'd stick with whatever the latest official ISO version is. For me, 7201 x64 has been flawless.

As for app compatibility, that may just be real compatibility issues that will exist in the final version, and will require a patch from the app vendors. In the runup to RTM, Microsoft often fine tunes certain things that can cause apps that worked earlier to stop working (because of a problem in the app, doing something they're not supposed to, but having it work anyways).

The general feeling is that 7260 x64 is quite poo

As it's a modified Windows 7 server x64 that's been altered to a client there have been reports of loss of performance and functionality. 7323 x64, although a modified VHD seems to be the best 64 bit version. Whereas 7260 Modified VHD seems to be the best x86 build.




Jeff

There's a build 7323, or are you referring to 7233?

I'm running x64 7229 - it runs with out issue ( tho saying that i have got a good rig to run it on - QuadCore 2.4Ghz 4Gig Ram 2.4TB Raid5 running WD 640's with a Radeon 2400 silent pcie video card on a gigabyte EP45 DS3R Board ) - tho i only run the rig as f/server downloading torrents and hosting mail using XPMode with mDeamon 10.05


got x86 7229 on my dell D600 with 2g & 320 G hdd runs ok no issues ( which is kinda held tegether by duck tape is on its last legs )

I don't have that great of a computer, but 7229 works great for me.

Hi All

I just can't seem to be satisfied with ANY later build than 7137.

7260-X64 regresses -- My LAN card again doesn't work (fixed build 7137).

Backup (Acronis True Image Workstation) doesn't work anymore.
Office Outlook 2007 seems to get random problems when either attaching flles in email or retriving attachments.

DVD playing only works with VLC (media center appears broken).

PC-TV Terrestial digital TV cards (Hauppage / Pinnacle) don't work. (Build 7260).

If these builds are nearing RTM I hope that the compatability options will be fixed.

7137 for me is 100% stable and EVERYTHING I need is working.
Cheers

There is no 7260 64 bit. You got a crappy client conversion of server. Which sucks for a client, as you can tell many programs/drivers will not work.

Now you have everyone comparing a server program not meant for what your using it for. To windows 7.

Just installed 7260 x86 tonight.... So far it seems fine.. We'll see. I had 7201 x86 installed before this and it ran just flawless...
