it's pretty good, it's not fast, but it's not slow
aero is useless. look around the net, get a shell replacement or a theme, add with stuff like emerge, rainmeter, samurize, add a dock, and you're good to go! if you work hard on it, say 2-3 weeks, others will start drooling over your laptop
vista sucks... xp FTW!!
vista does suck, your better off keeping xp if your after perfomance
well someone could argue with you about vista and XP
some may say that vista is safer and more user-friendly, but XP is for performance.
I don't upgrade to vista not because of the games, but because of the performance.
However there is one big problem with XP 32 bit: the RAM limit. I hate it! I have 4 GB of Ram, but XP shows that I have only 2 GB of Ram available, and that kind of sucks, and there is only one solution: upgrade to XP 64 bit.
It's up to you, but my recommendation is: stick with yjlasher22 advice.
Dont be a pussy, do it.
if u like xp u could stay with it and get a windows vista theme for the graphic =)
as u like graphic :D
Yeah but i can't find a 'full' transformation
As im a graphic fanatic, i really don't like that bootleg shit
I'll try getting that theme manager later forget what it's called again
Your friends setup is still better than yours, irregardless that you have more ram. So overall, he will still get better performance. If you have Vista on it may run OK, but prepare to cry when you try to move or copy folders/files.
Is it dual core? Cause it depends on duo,triple,quad cores also my laptop is 1.8Ghz single 60GB 3Gigs ram, and 128mb video card and vista works fine and fast for me. Unless you fill it with registries, viruses, and unless programs lol.
I have already cried my friend I have already cried... Lol.
What do you mean by "full transformation"? Do you mean the 299.95$ CD in best buy or future shop or whatever. Or the type of "bit torrent" and is one of the rules here no illegal programs? Either way I'm not gonna post it cause it's sorta obvious that it is one of the rules haha. Anyways good luck.
full transformation as in areo windows and shit everthing exact as vista
Also, my dad's friend told me he can over cloak my computer to maybe 2.5 GHz - 2.55 GHz
But i have to pay for the heatsinker, should i do it?
No, absolutely not.
You NEVER overclock a laptop, they will produce so much heat the laptop itself can actually melt, i have seen it happen. Because of their small size any heat increases are huge cos laptops generally already overheat regularly as it is. Not to mention that the heatsinks on a laptop are not big enough to actually dissipate that amount of heat.
yeah, to add on, use terracopy to move stuff, and if you want a simple peek on what you can do to the desktop , here's mine, though i did this only in like... 30 mins with some help in the forums. (im running vista, yes)
mine's made with emerge desktop and rainmeter with the hud.vision config and executor
