Vista Beta 2 - Public! This slipped under my nose.. didn't know it was on public release. 32 bit version 64 Bit Version CD Key Signup Please bare in mind that I haven't had the chance to download and install this myself.. I have tried the 32bit link and it seems to still be working Enjoy
Sweet, How do I find out which -bit my computer is? Daft question I knah ... I just don't wanna download 2gb of the a file and realise it's the wrong one.
if it's a Pentium - it's 32bit. If it's an Athlon, it's 32 bit. if it's an AMD64 - it's 64 bit if it's a Xeon, it's 64bit
I dunno.. I haven't tried it yet.. Just found the links on another site and posted em here.. Also.. what mos says about cpus is correct.. but there are also 64bit p4s out now (p4 d's.. LGA 775 chips I believe). Just download the 32 bit one as all recently released processors can run in 32 bit mode..
New version of Windows, this is the public Beta version - offical release of this is not till 2007 - it's for developers, testers, IT professionals for evaluation primarily. but anyone can get it However, as it's the Beta, it's time limited till June 2007
Danke. I love new shiny things , is it a fuck on swapping your windows over? Would i have to reinstall all my exisiting software etc? Or is it just like installing updates on exisiting software?
total rebuild. download the 2gig file, burn to a DVD, flatten your old machine and re-install from scratch. not as difficult as it sounds. However, make sure your machine is good enough first, make sure u have drivers for your hardware, backup all your porn/music/etc AND BEWARE - it's time limited till June 2007. but, i suppose a crack will appear for it by then
unless nvidia have brung out performance drives for it im not gonna bother, cos i got the other build a month or so ago and all nvidia had was a driver for basic functions. so needless to say it was a bit turd
I'm gonna dl and burn it anyway.. I'll install it when I get another raptor and a new mb.. Marc.. you should just dig out a old hdd if you have one.. hook that up and install on that..
one day ill get meself one of those 300gig external usb hdds and jsut stick all my films, music and 'specialist' videos on it, probs all my work files aswell, then i wont have to go to the bother or using laods of dvds for backup before i format this shed. would save me so much grief
actually come to think of it, it probably wont. films are 700 to 4.7 i have about 25 gig of tunes. my spcialist video collection is ever expanding and has already eaten up countless dvds. plus im gonna keep all the installation files of owt i install. dont Tb rigs cos about 450 quid?
