Yes, I know that Sever 2008 r2 isnt a gaming OS, but r2 is more configurable, runs fewer services,has lesser bloatware etc… And also I hear that Superfetch can decrease performance for games and other memory intensive applications.
What are your opinionsexperiences on this?
I’ve been running this as my gaming OS for quite some time and everything that works with vista or windows 7 seems to run on this. Its hard to say wether the performance is any different between vista/w7/2008r2. Not much of a difference, you get same compatibility patches between W7 and 2008 R2, but your missing some game features from the 2008 R2.
Id say go with Windows 7 unless you like configuring a lot.
For me there was two setup files in those archives. Asussetup.exe and setup.exe… just using the setup.exe did the trick. Not sure if this is the case for you?
I played some GTA IV, then I returned back to desktop. 3 hours now on desktop and still 1.5gb of mem free? Im starting to having doubts wether the superfetch actually does anything, because before I was playing GTA IV I had 28mb of mem free.

Well I don’t have much installed on this machine yet other than VMWare and 64bit Firefox but currently I have 800MB+ free out of 4GB. I’ll keep ym eye on it over the next few days.
I’ve got quite lot installed… I got 3.9gb free out of 6gb. So Im not sure if its working good for me?
It seems to work just fine. Like the Windows 7 one works (not even nearly as agressive as vista one was). I was also looking into this readyboost. I didnt manage to make any BSOD though but I didnt get it working either. I’ll look more into it later today.
That is certainly VERY interesting. I’m very interested in what Im doing wrong (propably something stupidly obvious, as always).
Ive been tinkering with this for last 3 hours. I merged all the sysmain.dll and everything referring to that from Windows 7 build 7600. Ive gotten to the point that I have superfetch in services folder… however when you press start. It fails with error code 1083.
Im not quite sure what files are needed to make it run. Its my first time attempting to do such things. For a beginner like me… very much luck is needed!
