773063 2009-05-11 21:25:00 You need VT in Virtual PC if you load a 64 bit ISO on a 64 bit OS. Which is stupid, since there is a 64 bit of Virtual PC. Whats the point in having a 64 bit version, if it cant even load 64 bit ISO's.

Which is why I had to use VMware Workstation on a 32 bit system, to load a 64 bit ISO :lol: It was the only way I could test this XP Pro x64 CD ISO I was slipstreaming. Which is all done. I'm using it now :banana

773065 2009-05-11 22:14:00 I'd say the performace wouldn't be so great in that. Blam (54)
773066 2009-05-12 05:22:00 On the note of Windows 7 RC...Its a large download right? and I worried about blowing my quota. Is there a way I can get it on DVD or should I download it from a internet cafe? :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Vic.

773067 2009-05-12 05:26:00 There are three options here:

1. Get one of the kind PressF1 members to make a copy for you (through the post)
2. Wait until the last day of your current cap (ours is the 18th), hope it's a weekend, and then download the 2.5-3GB file then.
3. Download it on another connection, or at an Internet cafe (it'll take hours though, be prepared to pay).

773068 2009-05-12 05:27:00 Depends which one you get the 32 bit is 2.4 and the 64 bit 3.2 GB. If youre with Xnet it doesnt add to it, since its local data (which is why I got both :p). Or do as PCuser posted Speedy Gonzales (78)
773069 2009-05-12 07:59:00 i downloaded the RC at uni yesterday, took 2 and a half hours at 500kb/s :D GameJunkie (72)
773070 2009-05-12 09:38:00 64bit version, I was after. If someone wants to burn me a dvd. I'll send a self addressed and replacement DVD to them :-)

Or, I can wait until the 25th I think...
