Guest Jordan Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 You have to remember, all these ratings are proportional. It gives you a score against your other components, not just because of what you have.
khilafah Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 I managed to get a Home Premium Copy of Vista from a friend and I like it but my Widows Media player is not working. I click on the programme and nothing happens. anyone have any ideas why this happening?
Cube Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 £30 for 1GB more RAM (I only have 1GB, and I'm only looking at the exact same RAM chip, to ensure compatability.).. Should I?
Ollie Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Here be mine: I want to upgrade my graphics card, I can either buy another 7600GT and run them in SLi, or I can get something else completely. What are those new 8800 things like? What about in SLi?
system_error Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Here be mine: I want to upgrade my graphics card, I can either buy another 7600GT and run them in SLi, or I can get something else completely. What are those new 8800 things like? What about in SLi? Depends on the application. Some do better with a SLI setup and others depend on raw power. If you really want to upgrade I would go for the long run and get a DX10 card. I personally like XP better than Vista. Mainly because I don't need all that graphical stuff they call improvement. My XP looks like a Windows 2000 installation. Driver support for Vista is still not good enough for me so I stick with my Linux/XP dual boot.
McPhee Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 As with the Mac thread, try to keep most Vista stuff in here. This is more for general Vista talk than tech problems etc, they're better in there individual threads (more noticable)
McPhee Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Might have known. For a first post that was blooming annoying! Ah well, im not going to delete it, the edit button looks more tempting. You're post can stay like that for a day or 2, then i'll let you back in Consider this the new type of punishment, more fun for me than telling you off and putting you on 'the naughty step'
KKOB Posted June 14, 2007 Posted June 14, 2007 Vista's prettier than XP! TBH, if i had a spare machine that ran XP it'd be on Vista if possible. Seems a lot of people round here have upgraded too-which i found a little surprising ^_^ And being able to see the contents of the window live by hovering over the tab seems really cool.
Jasper Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 So... in short, we now need to talk about the two in a different thread because comparing them makes it wrong. At least call it 'the windows® thread' - it's not as silly as the long-lived VIsta, wich will only be out on the market for two years. Vista is looking good, though - but you'de be better off switching to XP, or sticking to your copy.
Marshmellow Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Why is it only mac people have posted here? Lol Well I've been enjoying Vista and all of its wonderful features for about 4 months now. Practically each week I find a new, cool feature. And Aero is the shit, no matter what people say.
Ant-Shimmin Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Takeo your obsessed with Microsoft I'm convinced... So my general round up of Vista after using it for a good month or two.... Fast Sleek Safe however a shit load of compatability issues, expected however...
Cube Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Vista is looking good, though - but you'de be better off switching to XP, or sticking to your copy. Windows Vista RC2 was much, much more stable than XP. The final version is even better. I haven't had any problems with my hardware, in fact some seem to work better on Vista than XP (TV card is much better quality, my phone actually connects to the PC easily, with no extra software needed). And Aero Glass looks ace.
conzer16 Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I'm looking forward to upgrade to Vista in the near future.

And Aero Glass looks ace. But what can Vista do that XP couldn't? But you're right on the security and stabilty issues, bbut apart from that XP still has more support than Vista right now. I think the five year wait slowed the windows-industry down. I think it was better if they gradually expanded over XP (like macOS X has been doing for years) instead of one massive blowout. Don't get me wrong, it's nice they did so - but from a business point of few it would have been easier to do the transition from XP to Vista and slowly build up for the next-generation platform Vienna.
That Guy Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Vista's prettier than XP! TBH, if i had a spare machine that ran XP it'd be on Vista if possible. Seems a lot of people round here have upgraded too-which i found a little surprising ^_^ And being able to see the contents of the window live by hovering over the tab seems really cool. If I still had an XP machine I would have upgraded straight away as well. It certainly looks a lot nicer than the childish XP. I have a few questions about Vista. Does the interface look dark? Every screenshot I see it looks really dark. Do windows still load in steps? By this I mean where on XP you'd have the outline of a window open, then some of the tool bars would appear, and basically it looked like the windows were being slowly filled in. Not sure if anyone will understand what I mean. And has anyone had any issues with weird things like in XP e.g Icons not changing to what you're selecting no matter how many times you try to change it, or a folder you can't rename but when someone else tries to do it it works fine, or when you click send file to mail recipient it wont let you view the main Outlook window again? Is Vista a big step up from XP?
Jimbob Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 I upgraded to Vista last month and it is a lot better than using XP. I've had no problems with any of the hardware i've installed on the PC. I actually found that my wireless adaptor linked up and was working a lot quicker than it did when i set it up on XP. Only trouble with Vista is that it is memory hungry and i need to up my RAM a bit to make it a little faster. Just got to wait and see when the Wi-Fi dongle has a driver update for Vista so i can get back on the DS online
Cube Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Just got to wait and see when the Wi-Fi dongle has a driver update for Vista so i can get back on the DS online Setup.exe right click - properties. Run in compatability for XP. Install the Nintendo WiFi USB Connector then.
theguyfromspark Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 If I still had an XP machine I would have upgraded straight away as well. It certainly looks a lot nicer than the childish XP. I have a few questions about Vista. Does the interface look dark? Every screenshot I see it looks really dark. I believe that the default interface colours are quite dark, but there are a number of preset colour schemes that lighten it up a bit without being too garish. Do windows still load in steps? By this I mean where on XP you'd have the outline of a window open, then some of the tool bars would appear, and basically it looked like the windows were being slowly filled in. Not sure if anyone will understand what I mean. I *think* that's called UI painting and it seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur in Vista, along with that horrible window pasting that sometimes happens when an app isn't responding (looks like multiple copies of the window are all over the desktop when you move the window about). And has anyone had any issues with weird things like in XP e.g Icons not changing to what you're selecting no matter how many times you try to change it, or a folder you can't rename but when someone else tries to do it it works fine, or when you click send file to mail recipient it wont let you view the main Outlook window again? Not sure about all this, none of it rings a bell though Is Vista a big step up from XP? It's difficult to say really as there is a lot going on behind the scenes for developers and as a precursor to later OS versions, however as an upgrade from XP it doesn't feel too different which is both a curse and a blessing. I'd still recommend it over XP to anyone with 1 Gig of ram or more but my personal opinion is that this OS is really just setting the scene (such as the new driver implementation and back end) for the next major OS which is supposed to be a lot more revolutionary for the end user.
