    I'm fairly sure that all the CPP keys will expire in June 2007. So even for RC2 it should be fine til then.

    I d/l mine yesterday through IE(as download manager never worked for me).
    Mine shows as 2.49gb.

    I got my version of RC1 delivered from microsoft on friday as well.
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Well its all installed now - had a slight problem at the end of the installation where it just hung after i pressed start (ironically which is what finished the installation )

    However all is fine now, ati drivers install, wired lan connected without me even knowing about it, its looking good.

    Think I'll give it a whirl this time. Didn't think the 64bit version would be a gig larger.

    I never went for the 64 bit version as could never get a 64bit driver for my gigabit lan chip(3c940)

    Nah I plumped for 32bit, after seeing the filesize and remembering the headaches of installing XP64bit for a mate.

    Grabbed, thanks!

    I wonder how the 64bit RC2 compares to RC1 in memory usage. Playing a game with only 1GB was near impossible with RC1.

    4 hours - 40%. Guess it will be finished in the morning.

    Kind of reminds me of the old days downloading game demos using my modem.

    Anyone with nVidia card and RC2 32-bit? I heard over XS that there are some problems with drivers so can someone confirm this?
