AK350Z Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Anyone downloaded the beta? i added an extra partition to my laptop for it and i must say its rather nice! Lots of cute transparency effects too: I did that using the new "Snip Tool" like printscreen but selective. Toolbar much tidier, with little window previews when you mouse over the icons. I'm coming from XP, so haven't used vista much, but this looks to be quite good. Apparently needs less system resources than Vista too, so better for older machines/netbooks.

AK350Z Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Whats the RAM limit on 32bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Run 4gb on my laptop running Vista 32-Bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Run 4gb on my laptop running Vista 32-Bit But do you see the full 4gb? ;)I know its possible to make a 32bit operating see the full 4gb but if you dont alter it then 32bit wont see the full 4gb, will see only about 3-3.25 gb. In an ideal world if you run 4gb or more you need a 64bit OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kObi Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 i had it, was using the 64bit version. it was ok!......just wasn't for me. i should of messed about with it but insted i used it as normal and didnt touch a thing. went back to vista 64bit just the other day. just feels much better. although i have heard 7 beats xp and vista in speed.

AK350Z Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 It always jars me when i move onto a new OS, i've been on XP for years, but i'm sure i'll get used to. I've never used vista for anything, so its a bigger jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
