    Well I've got 1160 MiB free. Maybe it's because I've got my pagefile turned off? (which I recommend you do if you have 4GiB+ RAM as it makes a big performance increase, especially in games)

    Just disabled SuperFetch (which I forgot to do when I first installed Windows 7 like I normally do after installing Vista). And now I have 2837 MiB free

    Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download

    Could someone please confirm the file size of the x64 ISO? I spent all day with it on D/L, and firefox just ceased up at the end (when it says a few seconds remaining) it just left the temp file with the .part extension, i took that off and opened the ISO, but i think it's magically missing a 100 mg or so.

    3.15 GB (3,387,009,024 bytes)

    I'm not even gonna bother doing that again if its messed up. Damn you Laptop/internet/firefox/MS.

    Cheers Madduck! Looks like it managed to finish off while it went unresponsive.

    It's not recommended by any commendable source and it makes little difference anyway (unless you've got a netbook with one of those cheap SSD drives).

    Page files have come a long way since Win98.

    Turning off SuperFetch is madness. It's the best feature of Vista and Windows 7 by miles and miles.

    Turning the pagefile off was the only way to stop Battlefield 2 from getting extreme lag on my computer. Also it seems to make all of Windows speed up.
    Superfetch doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference on or off anyway so IMO it just uses more RAM. Though I wouldn't necessarily recommend turning off Superfetch; it depends on the circumstances. But I definitely would recommend turning off the pagefile if you have enough RAM. If not then obviously don't.

    Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download

    if you turn off the pagefile then you can't use all of your RAM

    and superfetch uses *free* ram to hasten window's reactions, no point turning it off tbh

    It's all looking good so fat, the only thing I'm miffed about is the Ethernet driver will not work and i can not get on the Internet.
    I'm going to have one more try to resolve it later after a stiff drink!

    Re: News - Windows 7 public beta now available to download

    I experience problems with Windows Media Player - it wouldn't go to a window off the taskbar, even when I ran the open command from the search box. According to the task manager, the player was open, so I tried to close it using the task manager.
    It refused to close after several attempts, so I tried to log off so that I could log in again and see if it had fixed. However when I clicked log off, nothing happened, so after several minutes, I tried to leave feedback. During my feedback report, the log off screen came up and said that the feedback program was stopping it from logging off, so I clicked cancel.
    The cancel button then dissappeared and all that was left was the 'force' log off button.
    Clicking this did nothing either, then my PC froze, CTRL ALT Delete had no effect, so I was forced to restart using the power button.

    SHA1 hash is E09FDBC1CB3A92CF6CC872040FDAF65553AB62A5 - check it against that and if it matches you're good.

    Sir, as mentioned, it only uses RAM thats not used by anything else.

    If its un-used, then whats the problem?!

    How can it possibly slow things down?

    Its a bad failing that its not noticeable performance increase, for me i found plenty of desktop apps speeded up, but they where all apps like Notepad++ fly open. Far faster than they did on XP.

    The problem is complex apps this does little to help, by that i mean games and the like.
