Hmm..it seems that some SDR SDRAM subs are showing up in the WinRAR dogpile that haven't been weeded out yet.
Edit: I take that back, it seems there are some early DDR boards out there from the P III era. CPU-Z doesn't seem to identify it properly.
JD I only suggested Win 7 64 as kind of a good compromise OS and it does indeed seem to be "the" choice for HWBot X265. It also runs benches that favour XP usually good enough. Most subs in the WinRAR and 3DMark11 Physics dogpiles seem to be on XP, whether 32 or 64 I'm not sure. Whenever I need 64 bit I go with Win 7 because I own a copy. Win XP is easier to strip down in my experience but I don't own a 64 bit copy. For most (if not all) of the older benches XP 32 (and sometimes 64) seems to be the fastest running OS. There may be the odd one that favours Vista.
Oh, and I don't bother with updates, just the original install stripped down. Most things that require online validation can be done via a file uploaded from your daily desktop or laptop.
I'm sure Dead Things can clarify, correct and expand on this.
