Darth_mel 1st Gear August 1, 2009 Share August 1, 2009 (edited) Can anybody confirm whether can Windows 7 access up to 4GB ram? Install the 64-bit and you can see all your ram and use it when necessary. But your CPU has to be core-2 duo and above.

Kwchan 1st Gear August 1, 2009 Share August 1, 2009 (edited) Its 1GB min. i am running Win7 build 7201 on Pentium M 2Ghz + 512MB RAM laptop (The RC version from microsoft website is only 7100) with all the visual effect on, and it is still as fast as XP. very stable even it is not the final version, i use my laptop more than 12hours a day and i never turn off the laptop when i go to sleep. Not a single crash so far. can't wait for the final version to release. I hate IE8 thou, some site cannot display properly. I use firefox most of the time but certain website eg. LTA website die die must use IE to login Edited August 1, 2009 by Kwchan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTA website die die must use IE to login Good to hear that there's another person having good speeds with 7. Finally microsoft is making changes to give us what we want. IE is unavoidable. I usually use opera, the FF as a back-up, but sometimes I don't have a choice but to use IE, but IMHO its the web developers fault rather than microsofts.

Wishcumstrue 6th Gear August 2, 2009 Share August 2, 2009 (edited) The main advantages of system VMs are: * multiple OS environments can co-exist on the same computer, in strong isolation from each other * the virtual machine can provide an instruction set architecture (ISA) that is somewhat different from that of the real machine * application provisioning, maintenance, high availability and disaster recovery[2] And it saves lotsa of electrical bill. I have clients who had deployed extensive VM-infrastructure and converting their physical servers into virtual ones very quickly and were pleased to see the immediate advantage in reduced utility bill. That does not include those developer house who are able to revert snapshots of their virtual environment when unexplained bugs show up in new releases. Plus there is much hype about cloud-computing in the industry..where VM plays one of the key role. Things are moving so fast in the virtual front that some folks may take a moment of reality-check (*punt) that physical existence of machines may become rarer than the virtual copies of themselves. btw Win7 comes with Windows Virtual PC, which is one of the MS ammo against VMware's grip on the hypervisor market.

Kb27 Supersonic August 2, 2009 Share August 2, 2009 Yeah, you should disconnect the XP hardisk so Windows 7 will not see it. Then it will install the boot manager on the hardisk that it sees. I didn't know about the boot manager until I tried Win 7. Apparently, this was introduced with Vista....and makes things a lot more complicated...imo anyway.
