Some are reporting that WIN7 Professional works a lot better that WIN7 Ultimate version, is this crap true ?


Yep, that's true from what I have found from various benches etc with legit installs.
However the fastest Win7 I've tested is that 32bit eXPerience version, as with most of their releases, it flies but of coarse it's a non-legit highly tweaked version.

I debated wether to put this here or in hardware zone, but since it concerns both:

I am currently happily running Windows 7 64-bit. I am using an Audigy 2 ZS card, and it seems there is no driver for 64-bit from Creative for the entire Audigy-family? Never the less, seems to be working fine, except for one thing: I have major problems with using a microphone in Windows 7. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't - without changing any configuration. Anybody else ran into the same problem?


Upcoming PC games 2009 and onwards

I see it as a good thing, my man! The OS is sublime and, obviously, doesn't need a myriad of hotfixes and patches (I'm looking at you, Windows "Ancient Edition" XP)

Thanks, but it seems like I need to download it elsewhere. Clicking on the download link just leads me to the index page of drivers.

It's the same if I try to get it from here (Windows 7 - Driver Availability Chart): http://support.creative.com/kb/showarticle.aspx?sid=61105

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

From all the games i tested so far b4 the FFFFFFFFFUUUUUU these works:

-Max Payne 2
-Crazy Taxi 3 (no 60FPS,fuckin port)
-Splinter Cell and Pandora Tomorrow
-Torrente
-TEAM FORTRESS 2
-LEFT 4 DEAD
-Medal Of Honor Pacific Assault (all settings to high and...game goes slow?)
-GTA3,Vice City
-MDK2

Games that..."worked" or not worked are:

-FAR CRY 1 (Menus and HUD all great,but game shown a light brighty blue coverin the screen (like POP)
-Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Installed,but cant install the protection stuff (its original)
-FAHRENHEIT (have a trick,but didnt tested it,yet)
-COMMANDOS 2 (Installs,but game wont start)
-XIII (Installation stops at CD2,saying as in "Wanna uninstall?"..WTF??!)
-STARCRAFT (Install wont starT)

That's all for now...i'll add more later whenever i reinstall this ..TOMORROW

This.

Of course I've had applications crash, that's the nature of things, but the OS itself? Rock solid stable and epic quick too, far greater - in my opinion and experience - than Windows Ancient Edition.

Moving from xp to 7 was such a huge step. it was a good idea to skip vista though Laughing

At least 5 people I know went from xp/vista to 7 and all of them are pretty much surprised HOW GOOD 7 is compared to old xp and shitty vista!

It's the same as

omg xp is so fast, it is amazing"

But people probably don't remember that far. Smile

It's always the same. If I say that chocolate ice cream tastes best you'll come and say that it is the same as normal ice cream just with chocolate. Yeah but that stuff doesn't taste without the chocolate! 7 is that, what vista was supposed to be but miserably failed -> fast and easy to use and maintain.

I used vista and it was and is shitty. You won't convince anyone to go back from 7 to vista because it is inferior Wink

Of course it's inferior, that's the point of the word UPGRADE .. silly. But to say it's shitty? Pfft, no. Just no. I used Vista for over 18 months, from beta to final-SP1, and it was fantastic.

Yeah but you like being butt sexed so what you like doesn't matter Razz

No really... Vista was horrible. It was slow and the design and usage wasn't consistent. 7 just works. As I said... 7 is what vista should have been from the beginning. It is the Win98 to Win95.

 Spoiler:
 


@Leo: But vista didn't convince me to give up XP, because it wasn't better for me. Why should I've changed from XP to vista? To rage and be angry at that shitty OS? No way, 7 made my life easier Laughing

And if your analogy was right, I must've switched to Windows Millenium after 98
