-Hiroshi- Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I have it installed right now and I really think that DWM took a step backwards, its really buggy and slow at times. I literally have to end DWM in the process list in order to gain the speed back.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally have to end DWM in the process list in order to gain the speed back.. What video card are you running it on? It's likely the drivers becuase I have spoken to other people who are using it and they are having no problem with DWM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Hiroshi- Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Radeon 9550 256MB, got a 3.5 rating on it in preformance, so I dont think its my video card. The problem in itself lies on DWM, it just gets laggy sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Hiroshi- Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Here is my ratings, pretty ****-aye. However I was told by someone at MS that things will deffinatly improve when it hits the RC stages of its development cycle, mainly because all of the debugging tools are still in there and that itself causes lag.

DigeratiPrime Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 how does the rating work? I see you got an overall rating of 1, yet none of the sub rating are 1. Is 1 just the lowest or highest rating on the scale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadOnArrival Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Here is my ratings, pretty ****-aye. However I was told by someone at MS that things will deffinatly improve when it hits the RC stages of its development cycle, mainly because all of the debugging tools are still in there and that itself causes lag. it may say you have a 1, but do the math your self, add all the 5 cat. you get 16, divide by 5, and you get like a 3.1 or 3.2, thus eliminating that 1 as your rating.. Wish ms would fix that because its not accurate at all. Like my 3800+ amd 64 before the processor died, only got rated a 3, and that was with a x800 xl, 1g of ram, 200g hdd, etc... But when I averaged the score i had a 4.6... :rolleyes: :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn4k36 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 So much for this being a feature complete version if there is only a blank bootscreen with the 2006 microsoft corp text and progress bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
