Which is the most stable build no. after 7100 x64

[ranjan2001]

I am using 7100 & its still buggy & many small issues, 2 bugs which are there are:

1. Ethernet network drops & hangs the comp for 3-5 mins sometimes even longer, I cant do any thing no solutons have been found till date.

2. sleeps function does not work at all.

RTM will not be available for public download but I want to test the last possible "stable beta" before committing to windows 7

Which in your opinion is the most stable beta build no after 7100 x64?
Can I activate these leaked build using the RC key?

relative question. Alot depends on your system drivers etc.. However 7100 is the public preview which has lot of bugs. Im runn 7264 x64 and happy until my Technet RTM arrives.

Grab the latest official build and make sure you have updated drivers

7264 and no it doesnt work with rc keys.

7232 x64 is the most stable build I've used, although I have not tried 7264 as of yet, I don't see any point if the one I have is working fine.

Agreed. It's also the last x64 build you can activate with RC keys.
I tried 7264. It was a hassle to install and then requires rearming every 30 days.
Mainly though I just could not find any significant differences to 7232.

Cheers, John

I'm something of a so installing 7264 didn't present me with any significant problems and it has performed flawlessly on the computers (3) that I've installed it on.

As found, the RC keys don't work but there are ways to keep it alive until Oct 22.

Personally, 7260 is the most stable version, though to be honest, I haven't tested 7264 because I didnt want to jump through the activation hoops...

 

[fakeasdf]

7229/7232 are both great builds that will last you until march, 7264 is a great build that will last you at most 120 days...

Build 7229 for me since it was the last true iso besides 7264 that didn't cause my keyboard to lock up while playing games along with the countless lag spikes i would get.

 

[Razzen]

I've used almost every build and I must say that 7264 is stable enough for me.

I guess you cannot escape 1. & 2. with later builds as your issue is generated by your hardware (motherboard) & it's current drivers. If I were you, I would try out 7100 x32 to roll out bad x64 drivers.

After that, use 7229 x64, it's a good build, no point on using anything higher, the performance differences are too many decimal points away, later builds have later bugs, and the most important thing - no more RC keys.

7264 x86

 

[masterB]

7232 x64 the best and works with RC key

 

[ranjan2001]

Thanks for the replies I will settle for testing 7232 x64, will do a clean install this time to rule out any left over possibilities.

All of them are pretty stable. I think my favorite is 7229 x 64
