Yep. I agree. It's fair that you're version comes out first sometimes =P I'm just anxious for the leak of ours... I can install x64 since my processor can handle it, but i only have 1gb ram, so it's rather unuseless for me xD
Folks....I've started downloading from Usenet...just imagine where it might be and it's there. It's about a quarter posted thus far. Sorry if this has been discussed, but do we know that this is RC1?
ante : If you can - just wait till 18 or March and there will be another Catalyst release (9.3) with native Windows 7 WDDM 1.1 support. An older driver (something between Cat 8.11-12 WDDM 1.1) is already included, but unfortunately I don't have the ability to test CF since I own a single 4870. Haven't installed from USB but I've heard it's very easy to do.
Last night over 70 seeds bumped in within half an hour and my speed was like 250-300 constant since then. So I would say - nah. The issue was with the initial seeder (only one seed / many leechers)
Did you activate it from Control Panel - System?, or did you just insert key when asked for it. You have to activate it manually.
It should give you the option to activate online and you won't need the key if you entered it on install. That is how it worked for me.
