So I finally got Vista up and running it would seem I actually got 2 bad sticks of memory.

I exchanged them and installed and downloaded updates no problem.

So to day I go to see if a new CAD comic is up and it loads like 10% of the image at a time and takes about 10 sec or so to load.

Is this a Vista config/setting that I need to change?

A tweak that needs to be applied?

I ran a speed test on DSL reports and got 7mb down and 500k up.

Any suggestions would be great.

Does screen resolution have an effect?

I went from a tube monitor at 1024x768 to a Samsung 931BF at 2048x1024?

For some reson I figured it hd no effect on how fast web pages loaded?

LOl k so I tried lowering rez and no effect I should have guessed it had nothing to do with it.

I also tried Firefox and that was actually worse. With fire fox teh front page took like 1min to load. I also compared to Penny Arcade which compared to image size took about the same time. It was slower than on my XP machine too.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
