how about... just don't buy vista... its retarded... and sucks.. get xp and 2 gigs

vernong1992 · 04-07-2007, 05:42 PM

ok 2 gigs with XP it is!!!

NosBoost300 · 04-07-2007, 05:45 PM

well.. lemme at least justify myself... lol

vista's just a hastle right now.... too many programs not compatible.. drivers suck..... nothing to look forward to on it right now... overclock utlities suckkkkk on it!!!!

ya.. stick to xp for now.. wait for vista sp1 or something.... and dx10 games n such.. until then, there is no use for us gamers and such on them

good point i actually just went back to xp last night, vista was plauged with extremely long load times, choppy gameplay, sucky sound drivers, and poor linksys drivers, i liked the aesthetic appeal but i'll just stick to xp for now. however contrary to what noosboost said many programs are starting to release vista compatability updates however the extent of compatability is small such as being able to run the program without seeing the stupid this has known compatibility issues in vista, to the program actually working however i myself could not stant having buggy drivers for everything, i'd say wait for sp1 but if your not a gamer and just a casual user you could try vista out

if i get a new system, if i upgrade its now or never (and i am a gamer, just mass amounts of Halo, Diablo II, Halo 2 [when it comes out] Heroes 5 and Dark Messiah) so should i still get it or no?

what Nvidia card compares to the x1900 gt

Sora · 04-07-2007, 10:03 PM

7900GS and when overclocked the X1950PRO is a better comparison to it.

thx i'm nearly ready to buy a system, but last thing i need is a monitor, no any good ones, i prefer CRT's (don't ridicule me!!) for their cheapness but w/e gets the job done and will last a while works for me

Sora · 04-07-2007, 10:25 PM

CRT's are ok as long as you can stand the weight. **** of a lot cheaper thats for sure.

Zalman CNPS-9500
