Vista is a new program but i do not like it especially for laptops my friend is like i bought vista for my laptop now i need a mouse to expensive i rather stay with windows xp
*cough* Did people stop having problems with Vista? ...
Well my experiences as I tried to delete Vista . When I booted from CD using an XP CD after loading the setup, it gave me the blue screen of death, I also tried older versions. After everything I found that my hard drive was too posh [Serial ATA :mad:] to just boot from CD and re-install XP...So which means taking the risk of deleting the OS by formatting the HDD and then if I am to get stuck afterwards I'm left without an OS Oh the horror!! Anybody got any ideas?
hmmm..... there goes yet another fantasy.

I got my new PC at a time when everyone was going gaa gaa over vista's premature emergence from its trampy shell and Dell only offered the system I wanted with Vista :confused: I really needed a new PC and that was the only computer I could get [seriously ]...So we placed the order :'( If it was upto me I'd stuck with Win 2000
If I recall not long ago you bought a USB external HDD. I believe you can install any OS on the external HDD and than in your bios set the boot sequence command to be from the external HDD. this will boot your PC as xp if that is the OS you install on it. You can than use the main HDD as a file and still access all the programs on it except be running them off XP. (Or whatever OS you install on the HDD)
It wasn't me who had the USB HDD :X but if that's what it takes then I can make arrangements, you can get 320 gigs for £70 nowadays, even less at some places oh:.
JazakAllah for the idea uncle Woodrow!
You only need it for the OS, so it can be the smallest possible. However, at that price, it would be worth it just to have the extra drive space.
its what u get with EVERY NEW OS . and most of the problems r caused due to the HARDWARE used in the pcs which don't work with vista (coz they r old)

a few months ago i had two OS on my pc (one on an external hdd, and the othe on my internal) worked well. only thing was my external blew ffended:

So far I have not have one blow. But, there is another chice for an external HDD, it is much stronger than any commercial HDD and functions more like an internal.
I simply looooove VISTA. I have a Pentium Dualcore E6700 and a GForce 8800 Graphiccard (due to my hungry ressources game-playing) plus 4 Gb Memory.
I have all drivers I need, all hardware works perfect.
I would not like to change anymore

Add RAM? I would first look into getting a new computer. What do you have?
SP!= Service Pack 1. It is a major windows update for XP. It was the first time that they verified the validity of your Windows copy.

IMHO Vista is such a hog I would never upgrade to it. I got my new computer just after most everyone was selling the new computers with a "Vista Only" option. I have no problems but would never upgrade to it.
i was thinking about my XP - it has less than 1 RAM and it is very slow. (not sure that's the reason?) i have SP1 on it.
i also have use of a laptop with miserable, wretched, disgustingly repulsive, putrid, demonic and satanic vista.
do you have to wipe everything off your hard drive first?
why would you look in to buying a whole new computer - is RAM that expensive?

Well yeah you remove the case, and then depending on if you have any spare slots for additional RAM you can just add directly, but if you don't then you gotta take some parts out.
As you can see the above has 8 THATS CRAZY!! I've only got 4
Service Pack 1, where all the bugs and stuff are fixed Vista should be cool when that comes out, soon.
that looks way too scary. do you have a laptop or a desk top?
i hope the SP1 manifests in the near future.
btw, have you survived a defrag on vista? it takes forever and ever and ever.

RAMs are 4 GB?
Then why my friends thought I'm crazy to order 2 GB of RAMs last year
Wait until I can buy this one
The 2.5TB system is "the largest SSD installation in the world by far, without question", the executive VP for TMS, Woody Hutsell, told Techworld. The previous biggest one was under 500GB, he told us.
At 2.5TB, it is roughly 10,000 times the size of the RAM in your PC.
The list price of the system, which is made up from 40 RamSan 320 units, reviewed here, is $4.7million, although the US government received a discount. It was installed by TMS' OEM Dynamic Solutions International.
lol I hope so ... Cos its crashing quite often isn't it
But imagine if it becomes big, some Hard drives will be smaller than the RAM. Why on earth would you use so much RAM for anyways? :confused:
One beauty of the terabyte RAM is you can actually load your entire OS on it and have instant running and loading of all programs. The speed and capacity the PCs will have will make todays PC's seem like pocket calculators. The HDDs have already broken through the cost barrier. I have nearly 2 T of HDD on my pc and I can already see I will need to double that very soon. My current 4 gig of RAM is getting to be way too small for some of my programs. I thought when I assembled this PC it would last me for the rest of my life. But, I'm already designing my next monster that I hope I can afford to assemble Early next year.
That will be the quencher for the thirst of performancists. Forget 28 seconds, the need for 'stand by' will no longer be neccessary ... Stop making me cry, I can't afford that kinda stuff!!
2TBs? ffended: Why Just why?
Can I have like, 10% of your HDD space? I think that's like 200Gb, please sir, can I have some more?
I rounded off upwards. It is only 1.6T so you can only have 160 Gigs. Believe it or not I only have about 100 G. of free space left. For beginners I loaded over 3,000 videos on the thing. They are mostly old documentaries that we had on VHS. That put a big dent in things. I also have quite a few programs that do everything except make coffee. When I assemble the new one, the only additions will be in the Mother Board, CPU, more HDD and more RAM I will be using a lot of the components I have, however, all will be backed up on at least 4 external 1T HDDs. I also want to have at least 5T in the internal drives.
This is the internal HDDs I'm looking at. I plan on 6 internal and 6 external eventually.
