Hi guys i just bought a Dell inspiron 1525, It comes with Microsoft Windows Vista and i dont know, im currently running that on this computer and dont like it to much. XP however i have the cd should i stay with vista or go with xp? regards
Unless there's a really good reason that you don't like Vista, you should keep it on there. It is different from XP and does take a bit of getting used to, but there are better features. It'll save you time just to stick with it than change.
Hello, Well, I bought a HP with Windows Vista with 512MB, uff TOO BAD, then I have added 512MB (total 1GB) uff, better, but slow.. then I have added 1GB more (total 2GB), much better, but then I have installed Windows XP, really there are a hugh diference, now my computer fly! Believe me XP with 2GB fly My 2 cents, Jakomo
A pretty good general rule of thumb for Vista/RAM is 2 gigs minimum if you are using Vista. If you have 4 gigs of RAM, Vista is very snappy.
thanks for the replys guys, as for why I don't like vista, I have a steam account a few acualy, steam doesn't run on vista. or at least I can't get it to work, but other then that I like it. it is a memory hog. but XP runs great with games and memory is why I wanted to. hell I might just go ubunta or something. lol well go back before windows 2000. lol. regards
I will suggest to go with Vista. You are feeling uncomfortable with vista, because you are not used of Vista. Vista is really good on good hardware configuration, an Dell inspiron 1525 have does have good configuration. BTW, is you Dell inspiron 1525 of 3Gb RAM, 250 GB hard disk and Vista Home Premium.
Stick with Vista if you have 2GB or more. The reason Vista uses more memory... is because it uses it! You can give XP 4GB of memory, but it will never use it! Vista isn't new anymore, SP1 is released a long time ago.
with less than 2GB dont even think about Vista. I have one 2G ram laptop with vista, just turn on computer doing nothign it already used 1G of ram dont think about doing other. Less RAM stick with xp.
My advice is to be with xp because I had a very bad experience with my vista and hence downgraded to xp. The problem is that it is no longer supported by MS.
Nonsense with this "doesn't support the downgrade." You reformat your hard drive and you can put whatever operating system you want on it.
...Just check that you have the XP drivers for you new PC (it is possible that drivers are only made for Vista)
GO WITH XP!!!!! Vista may have some (like only 2) better features, but people have remade them for XP, and it's faster GL! -Ben
Personally I much prefer Windows XP to Vista. But its down to what you feel most comfortable with. Dont let other people influence your decision. If you happy with Vista then stick with it. If your not then consider XP or Even a linux flavor.
