And yet you have a Windows Vista partition. Oh the irony!

;) My husband is having a Vista issue, no matter how many times I tell him not to use it, so I bootcamped it to try and reproduce it. Heh. Also, sometimes it's fun to see how the other half live. ;)

I had x64 Vista on here until today when I decided to go back to XP x86. It's weirdly satisfying.

Don't mind Vista though, just prefer XP for better gaming performance.

Link to that beautiful wallpaper? Please Cara. :D

It's a very old one, don't remember where I got it but the date is from 2001. (Attached)

This is Vista 64 also. 5.9 Vista index on this MBP. ;)

Yeah? I got 5.1. The 5400RPM and 256MB Graphics is what brought it down from an otherwise identical score.

Shame I don't have the monies =D

I'd give Vista x64 a try again but I recently upgraded a mates PC to 8GB of RAM as Vista was going slow as hell (go figure), so anyway, I added the RAM and reformatted the hard drive to x64 (was x86) and installed all relevant drivers etc. Two hours in, Bluescreen, Bluescreen, Bluescreen. every two hours on the dot.

So I installed XP x64 and no issues. I honestly dont understand how people can live with Vista.

Slight Mod ( no permission, so not releasing it ) screengrab is static, dont know of a cheap screen recorder

Took bodysoulspirit Time Machine Screen Saver and Quartz Composer'd an apple logo in middle of it to make it like

altezza69 Time Machine Background

so its basically an Animated Version of Altezza69's ( without the glass apple logo ) but Vista Dreamsceneish

using Quarts Desktop

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
