I cannot "link" you though. It's against cb7t policy.

Its a release candidate. Its free.

You can probably download it directly from MS. I know I did with Vista Beta and RC1 and RC2

You can still get a key, but I believe they pulled it down.

pretty much zero bugs, so far

if you know how to torrent, you should be able to get this with no issues. if you are familiar with torrents, i can offer a demonoid invite.

im familiar with torrents.....wanna offer me an invite?

[Pandemic]

you're running that with an atom 1.6? What about the video requirement? Do you think it'd work on a 64mb shared card, 3ghz, 1gb ram? How would that OS impact games and other applications?

I was thinking an os that uses more system resources than XP would just starve these games/applications.

I am fairly familiar with Torrents I use them frequently for other things. how do you send me a Demonoid invite though I always use btjunkie and bit lord. I know I can get it through there Im just always worried about bad torrents


and I am almost always signed into either my aim acct or msn if you wanna hit me up on there

if you mean by dynamic background images, and rotating wallpapers, then yes. those things you see on the desktop are just gadgets, much like in Vista.

Well, I don't play games... never have, and this netbook is CERTAINLY not designed for gaming, so it would be pointless for me to benchmark or try any games on it. The Acer Aspire One does not have dedicated video memory, either, but I think it uses 32mb on the shared.

What kind of processor is the 3ghz? Id suggest at LEAST having 1.5 or 2 gb ram. at 1.5 it's not bad, but a little laggy only sometimes.

I run multiple firefox windows and tabs, play poker, play satellite radio and fuck around just fine with the OS with no hangups or errors.

pm'd invite

[Pandemic]

If you have another deminoid invite, I'll take it

This is a p4 3.06ghz with... 800mhz fsb... I think.

I'm willing to bet it'll run ok... but probably not great. I have a suspicion this OS likes multi-core processors, as thats the direction the industry has been heading for some time now.

I've been running RC7000 since it came out on a single core P4 3.0, with 4GB of RAM and haven't found lags to be a problem. That said, if I found a nice dual or quad core on the cheap, I'd totally buy it.

You'd have 4x more ram than me. I cant upgrade either - laptop @ max capacity. I'll keep XP till it dies and then I'll mess around maybe.

hey im running windows 7 PERFECTLY on my toughbook

its specs : 1.2 ghz Pentium M (p6 microarchitecture ftw!)
1.25 GB of RAM
32 or 64 mb graphics memory ( i think the 32 is dedicated; stupid intel graphics)

It runs it great, no hangs or annoying shit. If i have like 15 firefox open it slows down a bit. but the Pentium M is a champ.


Ive got a couple old P4 3 ghz gaming systems im selling for like 75 - 100 bucks (used them for lan party haha) they can play half life 2 at moderately high settings.

Then im going to build a dual core pentium III system haha. (P3 is the same design as all of the "core 2 duo" processors). oh and on a side note, Alot of early laptop and desktop systems were sold with "core single" processors. which enabled intel to sell dual core systems with a bad core as "single" alot of them just had the other core turned off! if i can find one cheap im going to get it...

I still have a bunch of demonoid invites.... just PM me, phempa you dont gotta give out all yours lol

Core 2 Duo is not Pentium III. It is based on a similar architechure concept as Pentium III, but is very much different in its specifics.

yes, im aware of this.

Im going to build a PIII system that is better than any single core out there for really cheap.

you can clock a PIII-s to around 1.6 ghz. thats the clock speed on my HP core 2 laptop. and it runs everything amazingly.

I found someone who built a dual core p3 rig and was able to run most games at high settings


Pentium III-S 1400 @ 1.63GHz, 512K L2
X800XT AIW OC 580/600
2GB of RAM
250GB HD
SB Audigy 2
QDI Advance 12 mobo
Smugly running Vista

A cheap agp video card some cheap ddr ram and a p3-s at 1.6ghz would cost no more than 150 bucks.

i know i can find a decent amd dual core mobo and cpu for that... but its still gonna cost more and I want something different i guess.
