    Windows 7 Looking for a good win7 64bit compatable wireless card.

    If it has Vista 64 drivers, it should work. Plus there's a chance that windows 7 will have drivers for it by default. It looks like it uses a Marvell chipset.

    Windows 7 X-Fi Extreme Audio

    Glad it helped. Hopefully that's all that is preventing some of you guys from getting your drivers to work in Windows 7. Presumably the whole line of X-Fi cards should install assuming they use similar drivers...not sure what the cheaper cards lack (aside from the x-ram).

    Windows 7 Hard Drive Performance

    I think the general population didn't realize Vista had relatively high system requirements compared to Win XP - that's one reason there were so many complaints. And probably then a combination of immature drivers, Vista overhead combined with people running machines with minimal ram (minimal...

    Windows 7 Hard Drive Performance

    1 - I installed the Intel Vista x64 chipset drivers + the Intel Matrix Software that seems to install AHCI drivers. 2 - Based on the usual copying of files and whatnot, I think hdd speeds are on par with Vista for the most part. It's not like we're seeing 30mb/s transfers between hard disks...

    Windows 7 Logitech G15 Keyboard

    Same...my G15 works fine..installed Vista x64 software from logitech site. (Vista compatibility mode for installer file)

    Windows 7 Hard Drive Performance

    depends on the drive...i have 2 seagate 250gb sata hdds, 1 WD 250gb sata hdd, 1 Seagate 500GB hdd, and 1 WD 500GB hdd - all 7200rpm 16mb cache drives I think, but copy speeds really vary among them. The 500gb disks are the fastest ...avging 90+mb/s copies, while the 250s are a bit slower. In...

    Windows 7 Hard Drive Performance

    So it looks like write caching is affecting some of you adversely (scorewise) ...so we're all getting to about 6.0 on the hdd score then.

    Does Crysis Warhead (Wars) use punkbuster too?

    Windows 7 What is your Windows 7 performance index score?

    I know..if nothing else your score should have been close to 8 I'd think. On the other hand, who knows whether that test even uses crossfire or sli. Yeah I'd like to know how they get the numbers too.

    Windows 7 Looking for a good win7 64bit compatable wireless card.

    Well for gaming anyway, wireless never quite cuts it ...so even though the upstairs router is right outside my room, I have a cable running out to it. Just rather be wired ... esp after seeing the 10k difference in the speedtests.

    Windows 7 What is your Windows 7 performance index score?

    Yeah doesn't make much sense. I get a 6.0 for 1 GTX 260 Core 216 and you get 6.8 for 2 HD4870s? something's off :)

    Windows 7 Windows 7 Misreading CPU Usage?

    Well I believe you if you say so, though logically I don't get why Flash video would use 100% of your cpu. I'll have to google it and see. But thus far, doing some video encoding (720p h.264), cpu usage has been about the same in Win 7 as Vista x64. Roughly 80% cpu usage on all 4 cores on the...

    Windows 7 Windows 7 Misreading CPU Usage?

    About the only thing cpu intensive in that list is winrar extracting the 8gb file. And even that is partly hard disk intensive, much like burning a dvd. Everything else isn't cpu intensive so 11% on a dual core machine sounds about right.

    Windows 7 Blu-ray Disc playback

    Yeah PowerDVD is what I use normally ...more control, more options. Though I don't really watch blu-rays on my computer ...just there for ripping :)
