    vista...anyone? (OP)




    alhamdulillah, finally ordered a new system, but managed to be one of those unlucky buyers where Vista comes as standard with every machine.

    Anything you want to discuss or point out about it?

    Looking forward to your views.

    lol not quite...Although yeah you get the picture But rhere is a way to change a few things, by changing the theme back to the classical Win2000. I'm sure that'll reduce the RAM used.

    theme would not have a very big change on the performance and the problem is not at RAM, bc at least you can use Virtual Memory, but what about the CPU, Graphic card, harddisk....... I bet your cooler would be 24/7 on

    CPU is crazily fast on my new computer as for the cooler I can't even hear my computer at all....it feels so weird because my old one keeps me awake in the night (when I used to download stuff), and here you have this soundless one, its like...lol I can't explain. If you've been with loud computers all your life, it's a big change.

    There's a special RAM booster feature which I can't configure, so another blow, I hate resorting to Virtual Memory, esp. when you only have an 80 gig HDD. it keeps on getting worse.

    Re: vista...anyone?

    well i've tried the vista on my hp laptop, but not satisfied at all. it was using my cooler all the time, and I don';t like heating my room too much
    lol, the most funny thing is that on Vista beta version, on taskbar properties, they forgot to change the image of Start button, it was still the XP Start button image.

    Sadly, this was not the case...I got a PCI ADSL modem....NOTHING works like it should, I cant even play all types of MP3s!! Just because some have ID3 tags :mad: How stupid.

    Boycott Vista, thanks

    OH MY GOD!!! If you use the ReadyBoost feature to insert about 900Mb of extram memory it reaaaaaaalllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy speeds things up, and I mean...REALLY!!

    Go buy yourselves a 4Gb memory stick and stick it into an empty USB slot (note this is permanent) Vista Users...you wont regret it

    Are you running on Vista? :X If you are then I'm having the same problems...But this is even worse... My MP3 files

    Don't bother with it bro, it'll take time for them to update WMP ...What I did instead was download real player:

    www.real.com

    Hope that helps!

    Try downlaoding VLC player. See if it works on that. It ahs most of the codecs.
