All Intel Core 2 DUO are 64 bit CPU ...so install 64 bit OS version if you have 3 GB+ RAM

meetdilip · 10-22-09, 01:05 PM

My Driver CD does not work on 7. Neither I have Aero theme due to lack of driver.

Boss, I am asking you which device driver you need ? Just post here and i will try to find the 64 bit device driver for you.

Eg. NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GS

meetdilip · 10-22-09, 01:41 PM

Thanks Anil. Will my motherboard details help ? I do not have extra cards attached.

My mother board is GA - K8VM800M from Gigabyte. Please let me know if you want any other details. I use a 32 bit OS.

You dont get AERO because of graphics card.
Please post your Graphics card Info.
and also mention entire system details.. CPU, RAM , GPU etc

bad luck.
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Driver - GA-K8VM800M (Rev 2.x)

GigaByte has not yet provided drivers. But google for it. If you have no card , it means its using on-board graphics.

For Aero , You need any graphics (on-board or card) with DirectX 9 capabilities.

For On-Board Drivers, check manufacturer website.

Hope this helps.

meetdilip · 10-22-09, 02:06 PM

I do not have any specific graphics card. May be there is an inbuilt one. Hope this will help

Tell me the source apart from torrents and MS Stores

I am sooo amazed at the enthusiasm you guys have in India about new softwares, operating systems and technologies! I also admire the number of people using Linux as I in Canada I dont know many people who have even tried Linux leave alone making it their main OS.
For the record I am still stuck with windows XP home edition. I did upgrade to vista but then reverted back to XP as I did'nt like it that much.

Does Windows 7 have anything special that windows XP doesnt?

meetdilip · 10-22-09, 06:49 PM

It is a good upgrade if you are changing from XP to 7. If you are using Vista, you may not feel the difference. It is said to more stable and user friendly.

just4kix · 10-22-09, 06:57 PM

Vista was very resource hungry. It demanded a Ferrari just so that you could commute to work.

Windows 7 is more 'down to earth' in that respect.
