MSDN AA COPY of Windows 7

hey I heard this ages ago, but only recently it comes to my attention that I need windows 7.

apparently both Monash and my secondary school offers this free copy of windows 7, but does Melbourne Uni do so?

sigh I really regrat the fact that I missed the chance on getting a free copy

They used to sell it here cheaply http://www.mucsa.org/software/ but it seems to be out of stock.

Yeah, you'll never get shit from musca.

You'll be fine with whatever version of windows you have. Unless you need to program in the windows 7 os or something....

Uom don't offer a free copy but as a student you can get a discounted copy. I paid $50 for my copy last year

my computer holds 12G of ram which is 4 times the limite of the 32bit windows.

also my CPU holds 8 cores, and for some reason 32bit windows only use 4 of them.

so I need a 64bit windows, heard the only real 64bit you can get is windows 7?




I have a 32bit windows 7, just not 64bit...

If you have enough money for 12 GB of RAM and 8 CPU cores, surely you have enough for windows 7...

to be honest I never brought any legal copy of software before, so I never planned of this comming.
sigh.......

Where did you buy it?

Because it's certainly not standard by any means

Do you use a lot of Adobe programs? I'm struggling to see why you need 12gb of RAM...

Most parts are brought from MSY

some such as the case and the cooler tower are brought from eBay

just check the price regularly, some parts drops at a rate of $100 per month
also some stuff which does not require quality and warranty, can just buy from the cheesy companies like the ones in China

believe or not, this saves you heaps.
my computer is meant to be doubled price if you buy it directly from famous companies

you have to buy ram with a factor of 6G, its cost nearly half the price to get the extra 6G, so why not

+1, 12 GB ram is a bit excessive unless you are a really pro graphic designer/artist/animator/make pro movies. But if any of those were true, you'd be using a Mac...

(but the huge ram is still really awesome)
