My look on Build 7100

[Akatsui]

Since my last let-down with 7077, I decided to try 7100.

Here's a small review by myself, if I may. ^^

Alright, So a painstakingly slow download at some times, it finally finished after like 4 hours.
I copied it to my external hard disk, started up the installer, went through the process of installing.
After finally installing, I downloaded Mozilla, Winamp, copied my Music from my external hard disk etcetera etcetera...
So yeah, The ones who read my post about my 'big let down' know that I want Lineage II working on Windows 7.
I know the possibility to download a 'hexed' client without GameGuard enabled, which is perfect for me, because Lineage 2 starts up
It's just like build 7000 when coming across Lineage 2, all I need is to disable the GameGuard and I'll be able to play!
For the rest, It has an awesome driver support and I hadn't install drivers manually after the installation.
It's stable, fast and plainly awesome.

In short, here's a small rating : 9/10
The reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because it still isn't the full product, it's the final RC, So everything else is plainly awesome.

I hope you kind of found this helpful or stimulating for installing this awesome build.
I am a very pleased person at the moment.

I think it performs a lot better than 7077 but maybe it's just me.Things just seem to move faster.

It has a better compatibility, It's stabler and faster.
Atleast, it feels faster to me.

It took me all day and night yesterday to download 7100 lol

So far the drivers have installed without problems as has the software. Ive not installed my tuner yet. There is a known problem with that and the company are hoping to get an whql driver out soon.

The actual 7100 install was very quick, something like 20 minutes.

So far 7100 is running smooth and fast.

waiting for creative to fix their new driver download they released yesterday, it has crc corruption.

Yeah overall i'm pretty happy with this build.

 

[Akatsui]

I'm more than pretty happy and I can't do anything else than to agree with you Swarfega.

Do you really see a big difference with 7077 ? I don't want to clean install just for a few bug corrections (I haven't seen anyone in 7077 yet).

Well, 7077 all felt ridged to me, it was slower with the booting and after 1 hour of installing msn and all, 7077 froze out on my with the simplest appliances...
7100 hasn't had any problems with anything so far.

 

[Chappy]

I haven't had any issues so far with 7077 and my bootups are quick, as were almost all the builds except 7036 I think it was.
I really don't look forward to reinstalling clean again right now, too much PITA, but I've done a major cleanup of my drives and have over 700G's available again, so I may just do the latest on another partition and take my time getting it going with all my stuff.

Wait a minute...that's prolly untrue. Once I get started rebuilding that new build, I probably won't stop till it's done, so what's the use.
In fact, what's the use of any of this?
It's all just a delusional mind trip caused by the chemicals in our water and none of this is real anyway...

I think I'll go lay down now

I'm getting BSODes all over the place! I stopped using it
I tried to install it twice but still no luck - the same BSOD:

IRQ_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL

BTW: I've had no problems with 7077 build

Maybe you've gotten faulty installation files, works perfect for me.
Ah well, Maybe my 7077 was a bit faulty too.

 

[Orbital Shark]

Personally didn't have any issue with 7077, but saying that, 7100 is awesome I can't wait for RTM

 

[swarfega]

Maybe download the file again and see if it installs this time.

How do I disable GameGuard? I want to play GameGuard Games too!

So far, Only Lineage2 's GameGuard was having troubles.
I think all other games work.

IRQ_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL is usually a driver issue.

Nah, Rakion GameGuard doesn't work too. After GameGuard loads I'll get a BSOD with dump_wmimmc.sys error.

One question : Have you made upgrade or clean install ,and what's the expiration date in winver?

What gfx card you got? I had a BSOD when I was using the nvidia geforce driver that came on the Windows 7 (7100) ISO I downloaded.

I just went to Nvidia's site and downloaded the latest driver there and since then no BSOD's

anyone notice the sidebar going nuts at times? i am using the same ole gadgets i had with the beta, and now it seems the gadget uses more resources, and peaks out over 215,000K... this seem awful high, and usuage peaks and valleys immensely, where i did not see this before, at all. Have had the sidebar crash once already. Tho some gadgets are not bugging out (showing the frame of the gadget) like before. Just seems as tho MS tweaked around on the sidebar some... making it unstable, atleast in front of my eyes.

has my dual core working overtime.
