does windows 7 perform better than windows xp x64?
It absolutely should, given that Vista with the right setup/hardware outperforms XP.Quote:

Also, is networking less of a mess than Vista and more XP-Like? I found the Vista setup to be horrendous for navigation.
Navigating to your hard drives isnt exactly butter-smooth like it was in XP either..
Yes, that what WDDM 1.1 enables that.Quote:

I agree with this, I have a heck of a time figuring out how to navigate Vista's networking.Quote:

You have to wait until both vendors offer WDDM 1.1 compliant drivers. So far only ATI has offered experimental WDDM 1.1 support if I remember.Quote:

Also love how it is using my RAM I have noticed with the gadgets it uses less RAM since it is not going through the sidebar. on start up I am only using 600 some MB out of 4gb that is pretty dang good so far but I am sure they will add crap to the final product.
I don't know about you, but I paid for 4GB to use it, not sit empty.Quote:

Do you think we will ever have control of super-fetch?
Yes I got four gigs to use it but not for the OS to hog it all. So I really dont see your point here. I was stating the OS does not seem to use as much RAM as Vista.Quote:

If you pay for the beta you are crazy. I will never pay for a beta.Quote:

so there is no 64bit yet ? cuz i have 8gb of ram
No right now the only one out is 32 bit for the 7000beta. Which it got released early somehow and many people have downloaded it. So when I load into windows 7 I am only getting a little over 2 gbs reading when I have four.
No its 7000 and I havent disable UAC so I do not know why it was doing that. Also Papu thank you for that link, but I am just going to try and fix it without copying any files it isnt really a big deal I am just wanting to try it so I can write about it on my other website.Quote:

I think later this month someone was saying or it may be next month, but soon the REAL WINDOWS RELEASE will come out. This 7000 build wasnt supposed to be out yet but somehow it did. So hopefully this month the release will come so I can get my hands on the 64 bit and get rid of this stupid 32 bit.
if a 64bit version gets released i might switch from vista and just run that as my main
Im going to keep my Vista as main till it is a final release. I just dont trust myself or Windows enough to get rid of something I already have setup how I want till I get windows7 how I want it. Plus I believe the beta will only last for so long.
