Vista???

Post by MrBlah » Sat Nov 10, 2007 9:32 am

Well i recently reinstalled Vista, Ultimate 64-bit, i figured i would give it another try, i was having problems with media stuff on XP so i nuked my HD and installed Vista. I dont know how many of you have it, but, being it was a rely quick switch over, meaning like in a couple hours i had vista up and running to where i needed it. Now i noticed a lot of performance changes. Many of my programs ran quicker than before and certainly more efficiently, some didnt work at all, but i knew that, they didnt work on xp :D but a DL manager i use, FlashGet, it not only DLed faster, not much but i noticed it, but it also didnt run, as a program, dog slow like it did on XP. I also unpack stuff with WinRar much faster, i do all those things that are all calculations and what not, much faster, like twice as fast.

Granted i have an awesome system, but somethings i think are for the better. Yeah I use more RAM and all, but... well vista actually recognizes all 4GB of my RAM, unlike XP which did less than 3GB, and a few processor heavy games run at much much less resource.

Over all, i like it.

oh, and btw, im gunna find out of MAC OSX Leopard will work :D, doubtful, but i run nVidia and Intel, so maybe :P hehehe ill keep you posted.

I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit and I am liking it alright so far..

It`s no where near as responsive as Windows XP (even will all the unneeded services, areo turned off... ect), but I guesss XP was no where near as responsive as Windows 2000, you know?

i guess it all depends on what computer ur running, if u have one like mine, it will utilize all ur resources and what not and you will have tons left over still, whats left over will be used pretty close to is greatest extend i guess.
