Ditto

Now who did I order the other ones from?

edit: oh I remember now, tesco!

I are can has Windows 7?

Delivered this morning at 9am by ****tylink

Good job Mrs Dym was at home to receive delivery!

jmc41 · 22-10-2009, 07:25

Hmmm, mine is currently in a depot.

However, the Windows 7 advisdar says I need to install a 32-bit version of windows 7 and reinstall my programs, also says my 512gb graphics card can't hack Aero, my on-board sound may not work, and neither will citrix, zonealarm (no bad thing) and Nero. Apparently I need 3gb or RAM to run the XP mode too. DDR3200 :s

What's in your system?

divine · 22-10-2009, 12:01

Anyone got theirs from Play yet? Someone on another forum I use received an upgrade copy, not a retail one.

2.2ghz X2 (or the one before), 2gb ram, geforce 7600GS I think.

Just got this:

"22/10/2009 10:33:00 CUSTOMER The parcel has been delivered The parcel has been left in a secure location at the front of the property"
Sounds slightly more promising than having drop kicked it over to the back garden, (asked housemate to leave porch ajar), have to wait and see :s

Well, given you only have 2GB RAM, then using 64 or 32 bit is largely moot. If you went with 64 it gives room to drop in another 2GB easily but 2GB of PC3200 DDR isn't going to be easy to come by or cheap any more.

7600GS isn't the strongest of cards but considering a netbook can manage, i'd be surprised if that couldn't.

Onboard sound will be motherboard dependant, my Parents PC with A64 nForce 4 is fine though.

Nutcase · 22-10-2009, 13:35

Well I've got a card from citylink saying they tried to deliver. 20 mins after I left wor work, oh well

Looks like that's the tesco one (2 copies) as ebuyer tracker is from UPS.

Mark · 22-10-2009, 13:42

Well, eBuyer are using UPS for mine, but then it's 5 copies, so that might be different for you.
