Yep, like I said, that's the one I used to start this thread

Incidentally, I did not see a download for IE10 on its own........ only as part of Win8 developer Preview???

Otherwise it is IE9, that works with Vista and Win7, but not XP. We had a thread about that a while back, but I am afraid that I have forgotten the technical details

This is the new crashtest dummy (#3)................

AMD Sempron 145 2.8GHz single core
Asus Radeon 5570 1GB DDR3 (PCI-E x16)
Kingston VM 4GB DDR2/800MHz Dual Channel
1TB 7,200rpm SATA2 HDD

I guess that will be a low end machine when Win8 hits the shelves?

I seems to work just fine, and is noticeably faster than the 10 year old 32 bit Athlon 3000+.

Windows Experience Index is 4.6/7.9 which is twice that of the 32 bit machine Raw scores are:

Processor: 4.6
Memory: 5.8
Graphics (Aero) 6.7
Graphics Gaming: 6.7
HDD: 5.9

The 32 bit machine scored:

Processor: 2.9
RAM: 4.0
Graphics (Aero): 2.3
Graphics Gaming: 3.0
HDD: 5.7

Already posted; but for completeness the H/W specs are:

AMD Athlon 3000+ 2.17GHz single core
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 512MB DDR2 (AGP slot)
512MB DDR1/400 + 1GB DDR1/333 (MoBo only supports 400 in slot 0)
7,200rpm EIDE(PATA) HDD

Right now it appears to me that Win8 is just an enhanced version of Win7 so I am thinking that the comparison would be Win98 to Win98SE, and don't see any particular reason to hold back?

I will get back to reporting on the main x64 test box once I have fitted a video card............... got to resite the HDD to fit it in!!! It's an Asus Radeon HD 6770 with heatpipe cooling..............good job it's a full ATX MoBo.
