anyone else do it? the RC at my house on my quadcore is pretty rock solid.

Use Linux. Your work fails.

the only thing that sucks is that it is 32-bit so i will still only see 3.2GB of my 4GB of RAM.

CRT? not for me!

Of course I am. But Microsoft is evil. You should know that.



toggletoggle post by arktouros at Dec 10,2009 11:03am
yep. i've never paid microsoft for anything but a mouse, keyboard. oh and one xbox...

Would be pretty funny if a top security firm didn't use windows. Actually, they wouldn't be a top security firm then, I guess.


Must protect the less than 1% of computer users from e-crime!

if they would embed GNU tools in windows or add it in as a power toy, I would basically never need linux again.
Linux commands that windows fails me on almost daily:
wc
ps
grep
ll/la/ls

I got grep and diff working in windows with Gnuwin32.

ok, it's going pretty good thus far. the things that I haven't got working yet are
JBuilder2005 (which I need for my work... this is a pain)
USB2VGA2 isn't letting me move the display.

Is Windows 7 any smaller than Vista? I want to get it to dual boot on my lappy but I don't have much space left on that partition that currently has Vista on it.

7 is about the same size-wise as XP. Much improved.

Well, looks like I'll be putting my .edu address to good use.

why the hell would they install the 32-bit version? and why the hell is a 32-bit version even necessary anymore?

I love Win7 so far, 24 days uptime now.




toggletoggle post by brian_dc  at Dec 11,2009 3:06pm
I seriously didn't think there would be a 32-bit version. I actually just assumed this and told my boss that there definitely wouldn't be one without looking it up. Looks like I'll be fired.

@porphyria: corporate image. I asked when they would make a 64-bit image and they don't know.

Speaking of task manager.... I'd just like to say that I love remoting into servers at work and seeing 16 virtual CPU's. awesome.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Dec 13,2009 10:58am
copying 404GB between 2 USB drives = 2-3MB/s = over a day to copy? wtf!



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Dec 13,2009 12:55pm
Jesus. I hate copying huge amounts of data.



toggletoggle post by menstrual_sweatpants_disco   at Dec 13,2009 12:56pm


Also.. 16GB of RAM FTW

4xQuad? which quad?



toggletoggle post by BlackoutRick at Dec 13,2009 5:47pm
So how is it?



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Dec 13,2009 5:59pm
it's awesome.

It's 2xQuad. But each core is hyperthreaded so each CPU is 8 logical CPUs.

They're Xeon X5550's.



toggletoggle post by the_reverend   at Dec 13,2009 6:25pm
I was just going to guess they were xeons.

a windows 7 commercial just blue screened. awesome.
