Hey! I just bought my new Desktop which came with Windows Vista Ultimate edition! I was just wondering what's you Windows Experience Index? Mine is 5.0 Here are the screen shots: Click Click So, overall I have a super-cool machine
Terrible. I bought it last month with a new hard drive. First my favourite games like COD 2 dont work. That was after I had to swap graphics cards with my dad seen as me GeForce 7900GS didn't work on Vista. It crashes around 4 times an hour, needs re-booting once every 90 minutes or so. Did I mention I cant play any games as it hangs and I get the blue screen of death? Im buying a new gaming PC for around $2500 next month. Getting google old XP pre loaded on it. Seems I wasted £100 buying vista Some things like the Aero effects etc are great in Vista. The performance sucks, and that is what counts IMO Good luck. You'll need it
What are your current PC's specs? I have been playing heavy games such as Prince Caspian, without any problems... And, if you plan to buy a PC for $2500, then you should use Windows Vista. My PC cost me around $700 USD. Buy Intel Extreme Processor, just a suggestion
In fairness, I have a Pentium D processor which they get a 4.7 in the performance rating screen. I scored 5.9 on the graphics card, and perfectly high for my 2GB RAM. And why should I use vista if I spend $2500? if i spend so much i expect things to work, and i know XP does.
Mine is 4.9 I guess thats pretty good. I don't really use it for gaming though, more multimedia stuff.
