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

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
