Vista seems fine to me. What's wrong with it?

My friend's computer has a 1.9 Gig AMD Athlon 62 X2 and 1 GB of ram and it seems to work just fine. I don't think you need 8 GB of ram to get decent speed out of Vista.

 

He never said you do..

But you say 1.9gb then you say 1gb? Which one?

 

When I said Gig I meant 1.9 GHZ.

 

you'll get to know whats really wrong with vista once you use it for a while.. its a waste of computer resource.

 

Ahh, ofcourse. Thanks for clearing that up Greg
Off topic, has anybody tried booting & running XP off a thumb drive? I'd like to know if it can be done, how, and if it is stable. Please PM me!

 

I currently i am using w7 and it is working good in my computer before some time i use vista it Sucks up your ram and slows down your computer.It is working good when your ram is above 2 or 3 GB ram.

 

Yeah Windows 7 seems to be rly good and I remember reading somewhere that apps run faster than XP.

 

nice UI too

 

vista has a lot of bugs in it so i recommend windows 7 ultimate
my friend has it and it works awesome

 

I was very anti-vista until i saw it on my friends computer, it has alot of cool features.

There was alot of early hate for Vista because of compatibility issues with alot of hardware, but you have to remember all Windows versions started like this.

Vista is very resource heavy though and to get the most out of it, you want 4GB of RAM.

Im still not planning on using Vista, mainly because XP better suits my gaming needs.

 

I have used both Windows Vista and Windows 7 Beta. But I am now back with XP due to software incompatibilities (dreamweaver and gta San andreas not working)

 

I have been using Vista Ultimate 64Bit since it came out, haven't had any issues that I can think of so far. Excited for Win7 to come out however...

 

i have never used windows vista, not really interested about it especially when there were so many complaints about vista, so i think i'm gonna wait for windows 7 to replace my XP..

 

Can you use XP if i buy a new computer today with the new intel core2 will the XP be able to use all its speed?

 

Your biggest issue is going to be memory with most computers seeing 4GB or more. This means you'll need the 64bit version of XP. I'd recommend Vista's 64bit over the XP one as I've found the drivers more stable.

 

Vista is indeed very resource intensive in that it uses too much of RAM for its GUI and creates performance issues

 

but all my programs will they run on Vista i have loads of games i want to run and they are for XP

 

Currently using Vista, some games aren't able to run for the first time, but once change the game to run under xp compatibility, it run smoothly. I think same to some software if they are unable to run on vista. I've tried running with 1GB Ram only, and a Pentium 4 2.4, seems to be ok with it.

 

Are you referring to the original release or the SP1 version?

 

I asked my friend that question and he said that all his XP software programs run on Vista.
