WF, the deal on this one is the you need to have an email with .edu or .gov as proof. You can download the 32bit or 64bit version, the choice is your. The download would allow you to burn a copy. They are both $29.99. For $14.95 more, you can get the download + a hard disc. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3267473.png">
Btw, I saw these on eBay and was shocked!. These are the full retail versions which normally go for $250-400, so there is no way these can be straight. I'm surprised eBay allows these listings, unless i'm missing something. <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3267516.png">
guy may have extra copies if he run a computer store (I am sure he can come up with a better reason) I bought a server 2003 copy and it worked fine.
nkhoi, I just did a little digging and you are right, that it does work. The example below makes me a little vary though. The item in question is Windows 7 Ultimate FULL RETAIL version, which goes for $400+. This guy is selling it for 15% of the original price :eek: ! The other buyers have been happy with their item and it seems to function as described. However, see the negative comment (there was only 1 out of 37+). The item worked for him too, but he sent it off to MS who say it's not legit. I've been burnt a few times and hold "if it's too good to be true, then it's too good to be true" motto close to my heart. However, if anyone knows otherwise, pls do let me know as I would hate to pass up such a good deal. I am not ready to be stripped off my new title Tiki, I assume you just want this to be a hardware thread. If so, my apologies for posting the Windows 7 bit here . Pls let us know, so maybe we can start another thread for software (platforms, operating systems, anti-virus, spam blockers etc.) <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=3267724.png">
Everything is welcome as it is all related to your new build. This is great as it really helps people out to complete the steps to a new machine or just update that one they have ben thinking about. I had even posted something with Multicharts. Thanks Sam for all your excellent contributions
If you run 32-bit, you will be limited to 4GB of RAM. That makes your 8GB memory... half of it not usable.
