If it is the leaked 7100 build and the hash matches don't bother reinstalling or upgrade.

7100 RC x86 compared

7100RC from MS from 1st post (thank you +1)

Official MS RC 7100 on the left in the screenshot, leaked RC 7100 on the right.
They both look the same to me..

Can't say, but there are other things to consider. Differences and Advantages Between 32-bit (x86) VS 64-bit (x64) Windows Vista » My Digital Life

As far as 2gb of memory that will still work for both 32bit and 64bit alike. People soon forget that 7 now sees a very well refined kernel and the lack of "bloat...taaaa tionnnnnn" that everyone complainted about Vista seeing!

No one ever said it wouldn't.

Unfortunately there's still a lot that do think that way. I guess we'll have to be the ones to explain otherwise!

What is the difference between the Microsoft version of build 7100 and the version appeared on internet a week ago ?

if you got the torrent that matches the hashes then nothing is different

nothing, the hash checked out to be the same. they are the same files, people are just downloading it from M$ now to feel more "secure".

Lucky you......all I´m getting is 170Kb/s......
I think x86 works faster with 2 gb of ram.......

 

[RST101]

One is official and one isn't. One could possibly have nasties one definitely doesn't. The official is always the one to go for my friend.

Assuming you got the original 'leaked' ISOs that einsteinjr uploaded via TPB, they're identical. The problem is that altered versions appeared shortly thereafter and much discussion ensued as to their veracity.

 

[Orbital Shark]

Awesome! I'm downloading x86 now, even though i've got the decent file from torrent sites i prefer using official software

Cheers

The Customer Experience download brings you to the same Technet servers as the Technet page does by the way.
