Windows 7 Beta 1 - Download here

[stroebs]

I am currently unable to download x64 driverz for my Win7
Got MIN bandwidth left for the month and Win7 can't pick up my SATA drive because I don't have the bandwidth for a 300MB download

Maak 'n plan met Juggy of PostmanPot...

@ Fubar: What download Manager is that - cos it looks like its connecting to more than one host to get that kind of speed?

 

[stroebs]

Hey that's a good idea... Oh Postman......

If you were in JHB - I would have helped you out now

I'm probably seeing PostmanPot tomorrow to pick up a graphics card and a Windows 7 32-bit DVD so I might as well ask him to burn me a DVD with my drivers on it (Seeing as he has 4MBit)

So you still need a copy of W7 32-bit? Download started, 2 hours remaining.

Will work on those drivers in the morning.

I'm not going to wait for delivery from China

Don't worry about it, Postman is downloading the 32-bit version of Windows 7 for me. I prefer 32-bit to 64-bit because on 64-bit, my Netgear WG111t drivers crash and overheat my device.

@PostmanPot... I would need 64 and 32bit drivers

FYI, I know you can download Nvidia and ATI drivers with local account.

I already had ATI drivers, it's the Asus Chipset drivers I am worried about
