Windows Vista?

Re: Windows Vista?

My friend has vista and a gig of RAM. While idling it uses 60% of the RAM.

Wait a while before getting Vista, it certainly isn't worth it right now.

Well, regardless of if you wait, the RAM usage isn't going to change. But yeah, mine is using 664MB all the time.

I didnt want to get vista, they told me thats what all the new computers have installed in them. I hate it, I want XP but I didnt want to have to go and spend an extra $200 on top of the $1400 that I just spent, yanno?

Re: Windows Vista?

Vista has a ton of hardware and software compatibility issues at the moment. Wait until the first service pack and a price drop in my opinion.

The thing is that sometimes Vista works, sometimes it doesn't. This happens with almost everything when Vista's running, so just keep reinstalling/reformatting/whatever until it works, I would think. Not much else you can do until Microsoft solves the compatibility issues.

So after I install this I should be all set!

Re: Windows Vista?

Re: Windows Vista?

It sounds as if your processor meets the minimum requirements for a system to run Vista. Even with the 3 gigs of ram, it's going to run unbelievably slow. My family has a laptop with a 1.8 core duo and 2gigs of ram that runs it like **** as well. Vista will be good in the future, but not with the technology out now. It's just too expensive. Just go and buy XP.

Re: Windows Vista?

Is it just FFR, or everything in general?

Updating drivers will not do anything in this case.

Re: Windows Vista?

The fool probably bought a computer with 3 gigs of ram and a 64 mb video card ahahahaha.

PS 3 gigs and $899 I call BS unless you're stacking your memory card from before or you bought a ****ty computer that evidentially had a lot of RAM because you're one of those silly people who thinks more ram = better performance rofl gj.

Re: Windows Vista?

Maybe it's not DDR2.

Re: Windows Vista?

Oh, damn, that never even occurred to me.

Re: Windows Vista?

Everything is pretty much DDR2 now, isn't it? And check to see what processes are running. Maybe you have a resource-whore firewall or antivirus.

Re: Windows Vista?

Vista is ruining my life. Okay, a little dramatic.

Advice: Wait. Like someone mentioned, too many compatibility issues. Until it successfully phases out XP... the little kinks and issues can really be a bother.

Or.. buy a mac. =]

Re: Windows Vista?

No one has given me any reasons to get Vista other than it's visually pleasing nature, which I don't care for.

Get XP.
