Rydawg 14 #4 Posted September 3, 2008 Al the people that ar elike ' vista sucks balls i'll never use it' need to get over there small e-peen. EVeryone said XP was the suck when it came out, and look everyone loves it! Hell I have been installing OS's since win95 and Vista has been the easiest for me. Usually nothing will install onboard sound, vista has done it eveytime i have formatted gf's HD ( 6 time sin 6 months) she hates me for tweakign her ocmputer!

Oww My Nose 19 #6 Posted September 3, 2008 that would kill his ePenis tho. I use Vista 64 on my gaming machine, Vista 32 on my home laptop, XP on my school laptop (came pre-installed) out o them all, I prefer vista 64, then XP, then vista 32, because my home lappy can't really handle vista fully Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rydawg 14 #7 Posted September 3, 2008 type slower man! I work 9 hours a day. I sit at my desk with nothing to do, 7 hours a day. I browse about 20 different forums. I have no time for making complete thoughts or thorough sentences! let alone Paragraphs!!!! Its da intawebz an I ned moar! that would kill his ePenis tho.I use Vista 64 on my gaming machine, Vista 32 on my home laptop, XP on my school laptop (came pre-installed) out o them all, I prefer vista 64, then XP, then vista 32, because my home lappy can't really handle vista fully Yeah vista 32 bit is kinda worthless ( if your buying an OS) V64>any XP > V32. my e-peen > yours, on guard!

Doxt 1 #10 Posted September 3, 2008 I thought XP was bloated when it came out, and I still do. Vista is even worse. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-=^*Draco*^=- 0 #11 Posted September 3, 2008 Vista uses about 800 megs to 1.5 gigs of ram on startup depending on what you have running/disabled. That's why most games recommend an extra gig of ram when you're using Vista. Not that ram (besides DDR3) is that expensive these days, pretty cheap. At the medium section, XP and Vista are pretty much the same. At the higher end, Vista starts pulling ahead because of tech improvements. That's the general gist of it.

Alucard winrar 0 #13 Posted September 3, 2008 Use vista 64-bit, prefer it. I agree with these guys, its best on higher end hardware and a memory hog. Microsoft may have put out a shit OS when Vista hit the market, but they have put out many patches and a service pack which has done tons to help it.

Oww My Nose 19 #14 Posted September 4, 2008 i love the split vote. at this time, 7 use xp, 6 use vista, and 7 prefer vista, the other 6 prefer xp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flyer434 0 #15 Posted September 6, 2008 I agree with Draco. I have vista 32 bit on my gaming machine, and xp on all my older hardware. Other than hoarding resources, vista doesnt have many extra features. The only thing I like about Vista is that it recovers from hardware glitches gracefully. TF2 locks up my graphics card once or twice a week, and vista will restart the device and driver without even exiting the program. I get fragged, but im back in the game in ~1 min rather than the 5 minutes it would take to restart and get back on the server. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coda 1 #16 Posted September 6, 2008 I use and prefer XP. Back when I used Vista, I kept gettin blue screens, course that was back when Vista came out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koopa 0 #17 Posted September 6, 2008 I'm the opposite actually, I had XP and windows constantly crashed when I would play TF2, so i upgraded to Vista and it works like a charm. Love the layout as well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
