Ok boys, you should consider yourselves lucky to be able to try my customized benchmarking-oriented Windows :D ( ok, I might be overreacting and exaggerating :D I don't get to talk nice about myself often :D )

 

Ok! ok! I'll stop mumbling :D

 

I haven't integrated any CD Keys, so yes, you can legally download these operating systems and try them for free for 30 days without a key or forever just by using your genuine CD Key.

 

They're in ISO format archived in split RAR files.

Just download the archives and extract the ISO and burn it with a cd/dvd burning application ( Nero, etc ).

 

The links are interchangeable.

**NOTE**

In the end of the installation you might get an error window, if you get the error just do the following:

 

DO NOT CLICK OK @ THE ERROR WINDOW/DIALOGUE

1) Press Shift + F10 to open a command prompt window

2) Type CD C:\Windows\System32\OOBE ( and press enter :P: )

3) Type msoobe ( and press enter... :D )

4) Fill up the info ( username, password if you want, timezone, etc ) and click Finish

5) Now in the CMD window again type Audit and hit enter

6) Click OK on both error/warning windows, the system will restart and finish the installation.

You might get an automatic restart in the first boot.

 

Have fun!

I forgot to integrate an executable called nhelper.exe, so to get past that annoying message @ startup:

 

Grab it and copy it to C:\Windows, C:\Windows\System32 & C:\Windows\System

Awesome thanks for this ;)

 

Do you happen to have a stripped version of Server 2008 32bit please.? :D

  • Author

I don't have a stripped 2k8 server... yet ;)

 

But I should have one soon ( actually I will upload the rest OSs in the following days ) [ the full suite... x86 & x64 version of all windows versions, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 2008 ]

Since you know a lot of very interesting tricks,

 

do you know what tricks there are to tweaking WPrime32 to get a faster score?

 

There have been some remarks made about such tweaks,but they have not been shared by some here at the BOT.

The most rewarding "tweaks" for wPrime 32 and 1024 are...

 

1) Use the appropriate Windows version ( Windows XP x86 for Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 CPUs, Windows Vista x86 for Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad/Extreme CPUs )

2) Do a copy-wazza ( just like you do for SuperPi, it helps in wPrime too )

3) Make sure you install the chipset & VGA drivers for your system ( wPrime is slower without these )

4) Enable LSC ( LargeSystemCache = 1 )

5) Run wPrime in realtime priority with prifinity or a batch file

6) Disable Windows Themes / Aero ( could be the opposite, I don't remember for sure, sorry )

I wish you all the best and nothing less.

You're great to get back to me on this.

Thank You.

A "fix" for the Windows 2003 Server E.E. x86 Xtreme ISO ( nhelper missing file message fix )

Do you have a Windows 7 Professional not the Ultimate version?

 

I have a license for the Professional one.

Hi!

 

Can somebody tell me what are the advantages of each O/S? I mean which one is made for what bench?

 

Thx :)

New Windows XP x86 Professional SP3 version uploaded.

Works fine with the latest patches of the 3D Mark series ( fixed the "System info error" ).

For SuperPi, PiFast & wPrime use the older version, works better for those benchmarks.
