Should i upgrade?

[frozenrat]

Yea you all whining that vista is crap and all thou some of you never even tryd it (brettly sure about it) nad others just got ganked because of their slowass PC's that couldnt run it properly. Sure when it came out it was bugged and not suitable with lot of programs, but look at the time passed. There are all drivers for vista now, so many updates and so on. Its a great OP system now if you have a ressource to run it and if you do, its a lot faster than XP cause XP cant use harware as good as vista can do it. And for all af you XP lovers, now start reminding, what was it like when XP came out ..... daaamn, just like vista.

This coming from the kid who never posted any useful information since he started posting in the hardware section.

I remember NoPeace had to correct you all the time because you pilled information out of your ass.

Microsoft Windows 7 is comming out soon.
Looks much better than vista.

I mean, think about it? Whats different in vista than XP?

The layout is the same, they operate in the same sort of way..

think about it :p

Vista uses a new core, so yes, it's fundamentely different. But user interface hasn't changed much. That might be because the one we have now is so effective? I don't care how fancy it looks as long as it gets the job done properly.

I don't find any bugs in Vista so far other that the games USED to be incompatible but now most of them are. But I've had vista for 2 months now and I'm still fine running fast I can play games just fine.

So can anybody tell me?


If i don't use areo, will my laptop with vista be at "ok" speed?

I say use aero I'm stuck with a shitty laptop and I'm really fine with aero no lag what'so'ever. But it's up to you I did it mindlessly and it came out perfect.

Upgrading to vista is the worst thing you could do.

If i could change the kind of computer i got i would've stuck with XP, i've had vista for a year and it sucks badly.

Well then just get a XP CD there like um I don't know, 20$? Also I love Vista it's nice,fast,easy to use for me. I also love how it looks but the only thing I hate about it is that installing it takes 8-10Gigs.

If you don't use Aero, there won't be a huge change in the speed of your laptop.

When I play high spec games like Crysis, I switch to the Windows Vista Basic theme, just to be on the safe side.

If you don't want Aero, but still wan't to upgrade, then go for the Windows Vista Home Basic package.

None the less, Home Premium (which I have) suites all your media needs. Its well worth the price, and Aero is fantastic.

can someone tell me do you need to upgrade to the Windows Vista 64bit CD to use all 4GB? Because I have 4GB installed on my PC; but vista only see's 3.

Exactly but I recommend turning off the sidebar cause that's a lot of ram and CPU.

Ive recently started doing that, and noticed that the game doesn't crash half way through :)

It also seems that its the Multiplayer feature on the game that just crashs.

Ahh, well I had the sidebar open and my computer crashed like 4 times lmao. Also I tried playing CA with the sidebar and I got blue screen twice. So I just blocked it.

II'd rather just stick with this until i get tired of it or until it crashes.

As far as i know, Vista SP1 fixed that issue. So if you have 32 bit Vista and SP1, it SHOULD show all 4gb.

I havn't got the SP1 pack. Isn't it like a 24 hour download or something? A very long download?

I was going to, but I saw the Time Remaining and I was like, fuck that.
