With my Specs, XP or Vista?


Recommended Posts

yup i did load up lineage 2 which by right isnt very hard on the gpu but it was in fact very laggy jerky bumpy just walking around. i didnt even dare to hit monsters.. seem like i was getting crappy fps..

everything was laggy in vista even right click the fade in and out of the right click menu was laggy. :(

** any idea how to solve the white progress bar for xp? anyone? **

People curious about Windows Vista performance should watch this: https://ms.istreamplanet.com/springboard

I worked with the Springboard team and this video explains in a good way how Vista performs and what to consider when deploying vista.

It does use some ram but 2 gb's will do just fine. Not to worry. I ran Vista Ultimate when I was Beta Testing it on 1gb of ram with no problems.

I am running Vista Ultimate now, and was running it on 1GB of ram just fine.

You really don't need >2GB unless you do graphic work / heavy processing / rendering and such.

Vista needing more than >1GB is quite a urban myth. I recommend 2GB mostly due to the low memory prices.

With the higher prices of DDR3, having more than you actually need is quite pointless.

is that a joke? xD, thats an extremeely high end pc, 2GB ddr3, fancy.

anyone knows if 2GB ddr3 would be faster then 4GB dd2?

edit: saw your post, somethings wrong, it should be running extremely fast, iv'e seen it running blazing on UMPCs, and on computer's with WAYYY Lower specs, your rig is awesome

btw, did you update to SP 1? and what you using

x32 or x64?

when did the world accept Vista as the best OS choice?? have I been under a rock??

Trust me, stick with XP. Service pack 2 (yes, TWO) as SP3 is still having issues with most AMD chips and SOME Intel chips. You could upgrade your RAM to 4 GB and install XP pro x64 (utilizing all 4 gb of RAM) :) !!

There is certainly something wrong, vista has been proven to be as fast as XP in games

    • Not ok - WINRAR   HAHAHAHAHAHAH 
    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
