i HAve Pentium 4 AND I HAVE RAME OF 512 MB. SO WILL I UPGRADE VISTA . AND WILL U UPGRADE VISTA.dOES IT BETTER OPERATING WINDOW THEN XP. THAN
i wouldn't migrate to vista if you payed me. not at least for a few more years. let them get the bugs out first... and hopefully by then i will have a mac and wont have to worry about microsoft ever again. it's a dream of mine...
Buggy and unstable? Another person that generalizes. I've been using Vista since March and I haven't really encountered any significant problems or bugs, other than certain programs (Nero >_>) not functioning properly, but other than that everything has been fine on Vista. With 512MB of RAM, it should run, but for better performance you'd want 1 gigabyte or more. I have a Intel dual-core processor running at 1.6GHz (per core) and 1GB of RAM and everything runs smooth for me.
That and maybe replace the Caps Lock key on the keyboard I totally agree, I've been using vista since, 3rd February and I have found two problems, neither of which worry me in the slightest. Turning Hibernation on and off, is much harder than it ever was before, I can't find the actual button in the power settings and so you have to use cmd prompt, the only other minor annoyance is the lack of a GUI for defrag. Other than that it is excellent, the pros of vista are so many, that to list them here would require a lot more time than I have at the moment!
I never really noticed the lack of hibernate in the start > power menu. I use sleep anyway -- when I close my laptop lid, it just goes into standby. When I lift it up, back on in a second or two. Really convenient for my needs. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sleep/standby mode uses a small amount of power, I think I read that if you have a laptop on a battery and the power becomes very low, it will go into hibernate mode then.
this is the wrong section, but then my computer won't support vista! i need some hardware update, am planning to buy another computer soon, i may try vista on that!
I'm vista capable right now..but I'm waiting til January of 2008 a) because I don't want it right now b) I don't have an option, and get it free trhough my university
this is the 17th time I've seen a thred like this. good luck with 512MB! I hate XP with that much, I can only imagine the slug that Vista would be
Sorry did your school mates or work mates tell you it was cool to have a apple? Seriously Apple mac is great if you wanted to edit video, or do some professional Quark creation, but in general.. why would you use a Mac? Do you not like games? Do you not like fast systems? Do you not like being able to run what you want? Windows Vista a great step for Microsoft and while I have never understood people moaning about there systems (I have had Windows XP installed for over 1 year now without ever running anti-virus or anything, I don't need to as I keep my windows updated)
Yeah another agree'EEERR, nero works fine for me. 4 months Vista user, So far so good. Besides all the technical stuff, I just love the new look and feel. I guess I just got use to it.
Hmmm I'll upgrade to vista when the next version comes out I've heard bad things about it + I love XP!
Just got a new pc and vista was already installed on it. I have to say im really happy with it. Havent found a bug/problem yet
