No internet connection.
Just idling, like it just boot up.

Over the next couple of weeks between the family and work I'll will be tweaking this cpu and then the release of SP1 and it will be a great little system.

*fingers crossed*

I notice in your screenshot you only have 512 megs of RAM. That is a little low. I don't know what kind of CPU you have but if your PC is old enough no amount of tweaking will make a difference.

at least with vista, he can just get a nice flash drive and boost his ram. but yeah, 512 is too small, even for XP.

i use vista on my old pc but my new one has xp... my little sis uses the vista pc.. mostly for playing games.

**kiboy6** · February 9th, 2008, 03:09 PM

until i get a super computer i could never justify the increased cpu usage of vista over xp....I'd rather all my cpu went to what i'm doing on my pc, rather then how it looks while I'm doing it!

only thing that links me to microsoft or yahoo is xp and flickr.... soon to be replaced by mac and google picasa... if not fixed soon.

I am waiting for KDE 4.0 to mature a bit more, then I am going back to linux. I have been using vista for reasons of mostly laziness. I just can't turn off the computer long enough to deal with installing linux -_-

by the way, I don't sit around on the computer all day. only night. like 11 PM to 6 AM

this nerd has gone the way of the cool kid ;)

Don't worry though, sooner or later I'll be back to my old ways of sitting around talking about processor speeds and complaining about my lack of ram (more often).

I bought a new mid-range pc, no gamer's dream or anything, but plenty of power for what I do.
Amd Athlon 64x2 4800, with 2 gig of ram, and integrated geforce 6100 gpu, with vista home premium installed.
I ran it with vista for a week, but it really wasn't running much faster than my previous main pc, a p3 1ghz, with 512mb ram and a 256mb geforce5200 running tinyxpV5.
Lots of eyecandy, annoying security config, thats about it.

So I dual booted the system with vista and tinyxp vista edition (with sp3) and brother, it fuckin screamed in xp.
After a debate with Krell at another forum about sp3, I thought better of it and downgraded my xp install back to tinyxpV5. It fockin roxxors.

I'll use xp till hardware and software no longer support it. Hopefully by then they'll either have streamlined vista to speed it up or better yet, learned from the abortion and released the next gen of os that actually does what an os ought to.
Or I guess I'll finally have to take the plunge into linux.

And Robert, you have it backwards. At your age, you should be on the puter all day and then partying and sexing it up all night.
Get your priorities straight, m'man.

I just read that MS is about to shut down all the pirate vista machines. Sorry guys.

**Andrew110** · February 10th, 2008, 02:44 PM

I didn't know anyone pirated vista...

Indeed.

The more RAM I have, the less I am on the computer.

I like to have RAM every day.
