oh, i'll try to clear that up for you. when you download windows 7 RC1, it comes as an iso so you have to extract the iso so that you can edit it freely or you can mount it using a virtual drive and try and make the changes. its easier to extract the iso and edit the file

gotcha, so then I guess it prompts you during installation for a upgrade right?

i gotta help my frenz, so yea. have to share the good stuff

oh here is a guide for all those guys who have a 4gb flash drive or larger. use it to install windows 7 or vista from the flash drive. LINK

or you can copy the installation files to a different partition/hard drive in your pc and run the setup from there instead of burning a dvd

also you can just copy the installation files to the flash drive and run it, from inside windows so you don't have to boot up from the flash drive. i have used all three methods and they worked fine, use watever is faster for you

yea it asks u if you want to upgrade or custom install/clean install

ChaoticAtmosphere · May 5, 2009

Microsoft recommends users to do a clean install rather than upgrading from Windows 7 Beta (or any other builds) to Windows 7 RC build.

I'm Backing up and doing a clean format.

King_Jay16 · May 5, 2009

MICROSOFT RECOMMENDS YOU DO A CLEAN INSTALL THO, if you are worried about losing your data and all if you only have one partition, after doing a clean install go into the C drive and you will see a folder named Windows.old go into that folder and navigate to the users folder go into your profile folder and you will find all your stuff such as pics, downloads etc. just copy them over to the new set of folders and you can then delete the windows.old folder

Just like when I went from my 4 day old Vista ultimate to Win 7....it held all my files hostage... I'll be smart and avoid the complications.

Since running the Beta, I trust Win7 enough to do a fresh clean format....

Hi guys.

Sorry for the bump, and the newbie question!

I've just begun to OC my 9950, but noticed the following in CPUz..

http://i590.photobucket.com/albums/ss350/silverweb/CPUz.jpg

Is there any reason that the HT link is showing 1000mhz lower than it should be? - n.b it shows this, with all BIOS settings set to stock!

Machine details as follows..

Phenom 9950BE
ASUS M2N32-SLI Premium - Bios Revision 1101
Corsair 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-640
2 x 8800GT 512MB, SLI.
Asus Silent Knight AL CPU Heatsink/Fan
Various HDDs & Other cooling fans

Thanks in advance guys..

Well, that would do it. Not entirely sure how I managed to miss that one

Is that a big problem?

You just lose some memory bandwidth.

have you tried setting the HT and NB multi in your bios to get it running 2000MHz?

I agree. Take these setting from "Auto" to:

Processor-NB Frequency Multiplier > 10.00x

CPU-NB HT Link speed to 1.8 or 2.0 Ghz

Then give CPU-Z another run.
