Linkiboy how much RAM do you have?

32 bit OSes only can see 3 gigs of Ram....found out the hard way.
Running a 3 Dual Cores and one Quad Core...XP cause software works for it. Vista would make the cores operate better but....without software my PC's become pointless.

My Single Core has Vista on it and I hate it. basically is used for mIRC (which gives me problems .... run in admin mode) and surfing the web...oh and yahoo

The X2 isn't a bottleneck so it doesn't warrant a new motherboard, RAM and CPU, and Vista certainly doesn't. Yet that is!

I disagree. My sister's system is an X2-4200+ and 2GB DDR2 ram and it just chugs on Vista. It's like trying to work in quicksand. I'm running an E6750 and 2GB DDR2 ram and my system runs Vista as smoothly as XP, which is leaps and bounds better than her system. So yes, your processor can definitely be a bottleneck. It certainly isn't the ram or the video card, as I have the same card as you (and only one of them).

Well the PR with the OC is about 6000+, anyhow, I'll stick with XP and your not convincing me to upgrade.

There's something called Vista transformation pack that makes XP visually to Vista. I don't know if it's good 'cause I haven't had the time to try it out.

VTP is sort of complicated to install if you have to do the hotfix trick

I used vista before and it was good imho. Just changed back to xp few days ago because of orange box. Just needed some lighter os for now.

Vista MCE Pawns

Most of the time, yes. But I often have a truly kick ass theme. Black Aero with the BioShock menu video (HD, ripped) running with Dreamscene as my background, along with a sidebar with a multitude of amazing gadgets


Can you screen it?

Can do. This is pretty old, my new desktop has a bunch of sweet game icons

Vista MCE Pawns

There is no Vista MCE, do you mean Vista Home Premium?

 

[kellyan95]

Ultimate comes with Windows Media Center

 

[ZeWarrior]

I know.... Vista Home Premium and Ultimate are the only ones that do.
