This is why I'm still on XP Pro SP1.  :flip: :flip:



SP1?  You cant even get more than a 127GB partition unless you have at least SP2 haha.  OMG, new smilies

:pbb:

Anyways, I've downloaded build 5600, which is build RC1, and I got the 64bit version.  Runnin on my sister's comp without a hitch.  She loves all the gadgets and stuff; her computer came with XP Media Center edition and it was just a POS.  I can't wait to put it on my new PC, which I should have runnin next Monday :D .

How does one go about getting a copy to try? Or do you have to be a tester first?

Microsoft was letting the public download RC1 32bit and 64bit, but I think you need a beta tester's key to run it.

Kingcars, that's not true.  Xp Pro without a service pack only allows 120-130 GB HDD (I forget exactly the size).  I've got a 200 GB  HDD with Xp Pro SP1 and I have no problems at all!

Microsoft always comes out with the dumbest ideas to minimize  the piracy of their software.  For example-WPA...it was sent down thru automatic updates in SP2.  So what do you do-disable automatic updates or revert back to SP1.

Hmmm, I coulda sworn that the 127GB bug was from SP1...  :toilet:

Muhahaha!  Now I, too rock this, how-you-say... Vista.  Problem is I have about 14 days to get rid of this pesky activation B.S. or all my hard work is down the drain.

How much RAM do you have, Claude?  I have a mere Gig and it's about 50% used up at all times.  I'm thinking of putting my other gig sticks in, too.

I have RC1 and though I don't have Beta2 to compare it to, it looks pretty complete and hasn't crashed yet.  I did run across one irritating thing:  I had a music video I was trying to play and it would consistently give me the 'Explorer/Windows Media Player has Stopped Working' message.

same, i had a gig of pc2700 on a xeon 1.8 ghz box and was at like 400+ meg of pagefile and using a constent 25% cpu and about 60% of physical memory with just a few low overhead apps open.

this was on beta2 though

I had to bust open the case tonight to replace a faulty CPU fan so I put the extra gig I had in.  Now, running with 2 gigs it still seems unhappy.  Stuff loads a little faster, but I still think I'm going to go back to XP.  My brother just procured a copy of Media Center so I might rock with that for a little while.  I REALLY don't wanna be forced to go back to 2k again.
