wow i downloaded 1.6 mbps
Half your luck, mine's dancing up and down between 60 and 150kbps, time left about 2 hours.
im guessing because i started downloading at 5mbps...
I got it last night and did my first clean install.
Much better..... at least I got rid of all those Windows.old folders.
Plus my main cad/cam program I use is running top notch.
28% in 90 minutes...not to bad.
Should be done about bed time, so no install until tomorrow.
Everything is backed up and ready for a clean install....
Well I am now on Win 7 x64 7100 (again). I originally got the correct leak (hash's all checked out) but it was a dog...and I had my suspicions when I was loading it onto my Flash drive as it said Build 7077.
I downloaded it direct from MS last night (about 1 hour to complete) and when I loaded it to my flash drive, this time it said build 7100 (interesting).
Before I installed it I again checked it against my Torrent version and the Hash's are all the same, same size etc, yet it is chalk and cheese when installed.
All I can think of is that the Torrent download must have been corrupt in some way...it was the link from Murphy so I know it was a good Torrent.
The x64 is just so much better than x32 even with only 2GB of Ram I notice things like installing programs now fly when copying or unpacking files and changing registry settings.
Now to get some more Ram and I will be happy.
Hurrah! This re-installing Win7 from scratch thing is a breeze. Still can't get over how fast it installs!
Now on RC 7100 x64 and it's even slicker than Beta 7000. My WEI has even gone up 0.1 to 5.1 using an old Pentium D
One thing I have noticed however - Windows is now reporting 4GB Memory, of which only 3.5GB is usable. I'm sure that all 4GB was usable with Build 7000 . As I'm using 64-bit it can't be the 32-bit restriction, so I wonder what is causing it?!
