Windows 7 hits RC stage Build 7100
- Thread starter bledd
- Start date
any idea if it supports 9200? any chance of a link or the file..
Where there's a will there's a way
but what's the point rc is extremely stable andvlegal. so why bother.
But people can't install it. The only one you can get legally is 7100
fair enough
i've got an ati pci card, it's a 9250 i think, and vista has a basic driver only for it
ie, you could use it as a server, but that's about it
yeah w7 is saying it's a basic vga adapter. Hopefully berserkers driver will work, or I can find one on the same site he found his.
that was posted on the 12th, there are newer threads on reliable news sites from the 13th
i'm not claiming edbott to be unreliable, I think it's just old info
after a few hours of searching before, I gave up and bought a new motherboard with a pci-e slot
Windows 7 build 7600 has leaked onto the net, possbile RTM build?
Engadget said:
In a powerful wave of anticipatory man-drool, Windows 7 build 7600 has made its way to the file sharing services. What's interesting here is that the major jump in build revisions from the current 72xx builds suggests, but does not guarantee, that 7600 is the Release To Manufacturing (RTM) build rumored for a July 13th release (yes today) -- the same Windows 7 build that will be handed out by Microsoft to it partners in the run-up to Microsoft's October 22nd consumer launch. If it is the RTM build then we'd expect to hear some kind of announcement with the kickoff of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner conference in New Orleans later today.
I was about to post the 7600 infos.
Now here's the thing, will this release allow an update to final RTM if it is not the final RTM? I mean, if I update to Win7 7600 from vista and if 7600 is not the final will I have to reinstall?
Or will it be better to wait until it is out fully?

Still worth keeping it open IMHO, lots of people will want to keep running the 7100 version as it's free until 2010.
There's been an issue with the radeon 9000 IGPs since vista. I have a mobo with a Radeon 9100IGP chipset (RS300?), and any other gfx card you add there is a code 43 problem that prevent acceleration. I think it's to do with the AGP driver or lack of. The issue appears to be the same in windows 7, and don't expect any solution as the chips are just too old now to be bothering with.
Well I'm just hoping that 7's better memory management (both system and GPU) results in more streamlined usage of my quad core and it's cache - not that it's slow on vista but havign seen how much better 7 is on the netbook compared to XP....

if there was a legality issue with later builds then I'd assume MS would have banned the use of public keys with them. They dont seem at all bothered by it.
