Are you on 8.1 or 8? I'd recommend 8.1 and classic shell until 10 is finalized.
You read my mind. I'm on 8.1 with classic shell.
Not tried 10036 on a real machine, but I did install 9926 on real hardware and it lagged like a b1tch, reinstalled 8.1 and it was smooth and snappy again - I installed this 10036 in VMWare and there's next to no changes since 9926 so I wouldn't expect it to be much different, plus MS bundle a load of feedback/keylogger cr4p in these builds which slows them down
Haha, ok, guess I'll stick with Windows 8.1 for now...
1st with 4gig and W8 64bit you will be faster than your 2gig and W8 32bit
2nd W10 is NOT released and drivers are ALL in BETA... so: compared with a W8 (.1?) release and optimised driver, W10 could look slow and laggy.
in other words: DON'T UPDATE YET IF YOU WANT A FASTER, 100% STABLE OS
but yes result of the beta are very very nice yes... wait and see.
Thanks, I'll wait. For the meantime, I'll upgrade my laptop to 4Gb of ram. it'll cost me around $50 for the upgrade.
The fastest possible ram supported by my laptop is DDR3 1066MHz PC3-8500S. I'll be purchasing 2X2gb since I have only 2 available ram slots...
And yeah, an upgrade from 2Gb to 4Gb of ram will make a difference.
At the moment I'm using Firefox Portable rather than the standard Firefox. Can you believe the ram usage in the regular Firefox is over 200mb and under 100mb in Firefox Portable? Best thing they are exactly the same, maybe less junk and useless plugins which I'm not using anyway...
No, it's the same ****. Being uglier didn't make it faster though
Why not try putting in a SSD instead of RAM? It'll make a huge difference.
I'm not sure upgrading the HDD to an SSD is worth it. I paid just AED 430 for the laptop off Dubizzle.
Upgrading the ram would be the cheaper option...
I'll wait for Windows 10 to mature before jumping the boat...

Has anyone found out yet if Win10 will be available via OEM ISO download so you can install it from scratch vs upgrading from a Win7/8 install? Case in point I have two computers with Win7 on them that I'd prob upgrade but I'm old school and prefer to just do a fresh install when I do this. Also I figure with hardware changes such as HDD's from upgrading and failures you will need a ISO of the OS anyway. I'd also like to know if they plan on bringing back the product keys cause the lack of them for Win8 really turned me off on that OS.
