UP COMMING MOVIE

OS: Vista

<-- divide system stats by 50% for running vista.... lol xD

nah its actually running amazingly well.. Far better then my last comp :x

lol... put XP on it and it runs even better... srysly.. my laptop's specs are bout the same as yours, 2.16Ghz dual pentium processor, 3 GB ram, ATI radeon mobile, etc... i got it with windows Vista on it... installed XP, cut the startup time by 3/4 of the time... everything pretty much runs much faster, way less RAM usage, halved the idle processor usage... and its way more compatable with programs too.. :p

Actually, it's the opposite for me... Vista chopped start-up time by like 5 minutes for me and lopped off a lot of processor usage :<

Same here... Vista starts in 1 minute top, XP in more than 6 and Vista manage the energy settings better than XP (less hot processor and components in Vista)... it's a laptop, and as much as I hate saying it, Vista rules over XP in my lappy XD, the only thing I don't like is vista compatibility with some stuff that I can use Well in XP...

[Faraday]

I wanna help too, if you need someone. Dunno much about that technical stuff with fraps and stuff, but I could be a character or something, or actor?

[єтнισριαη_яαѕтα!]

I wanna be the cast if it is possible but i live in middle east so can you tell me the exact day and time plz and thx if you let me in the cast

The only reason why vista "starts" faster is because it does not fully "shutdown", specially in laptops.. it does more of what XP does with "hybernate"... likewise, XP startup with hybernation takes a mere 15-20 seconds...

in fact: a global benchmark test with intel core 2 extreme x6800, 2 GB ram, ATI radeon, with Vista and XP, both 32 bit CLEARLY showed that XP ran applications and games faster than Vista in almost all circumstances, even with Vista's "superfetch" technology...
The only place that vista exceeded XP was in compression and encoding tests, i.e. winRAR, and various encoding programs... Vista exceeded XP in power management by a mere 6%... not enough difference to make up the lag of its horrible performance....
you can see the results for yourself here
As you will see, all animations and warnings are turned off in Vista to improve the performance.. yet it still fell behind in XP in so many aspects. not to mention its 4 GB OS.. while XP requires a mere 700 mbs...
In fact, Vista's release was so undesirable, that Microsoft completely scrapped the OS, and is rebuilding one from the ground up.... called windows 9.... to be released...
thxvrymuch...

nerd :p

* LOLCATZ! runs from firefly and his bag of sharp intel core 2 extreme x6800, 2 GB ram, ATI radeons, Vistas and XPs

btw i thought it was windows 7 D: whats windows 9?

I always shut down Vista and XP, not hibernation or suspention (standby)... the only thing I now is that for some reason, my lappy runs programs smoother and runs cooler (temperature) in Vista than in XP, but the graphics in games are a lil bit slower in Vista... and is Windows 7

 

Uhhh and BTW, that review of tomshardware is from january 2007, now there's a little thing called Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista, with the uncomming SP2 in small time that improves the performance of Win Vista and there's also SP3 for XP, wich also improves the SO lolmaomgffs

windows Vista does run "smoother"... dosn't mean faster.. it just smoothes out the program's CPU demand, but at the same time causing it to take a bit longer in order to reserve CPU to process the graphics... temperature wise, it will only vary by a few degrees...
and if some people likes the graphics of windows Vista... heres a SS of my XP: click .. so vista fails there too...
btw: windows 7 is the "basic" and windows 9 is the "advanced".. like XP home and XP pro... but im not sure if they're still going to release the 9 so meh...

Don't misunderstand me, I use XP (It's my main OS with SP3, Mandriva is my second...), and have used Vista (SP1) like 20 times only (in my lappy) rofl but I hate the way XP runs in my lappy... in my Desktop, XP flies :p (not at startup dough, and never installed Vista on it XD)

See you someday ingame, even dough you don't talk to me anymoar in it XD

Tryin' to make XP lookin' as hawt as Vista but miserably failing at it.
I've been one of these "XP fanboys / anti VISTA customers" too to be honest. But I am using Vista for about 2 months now and there's like nothing I could really complain about so far. In fact.. I prefer my current system compared to the old one.

xDD i wasn't trying... in fact i was trying to make it NOT look like vista... lol (i could if i wanted to but why would i do such a thing??)

a few things Vista fails that you probably don't notice...
the Superfetch... loading your RAM with programs that the OS THINKS you MIGHT use...
the aero animation... CPU analysis shows it uses up to 20% of a dual core CPU to play its animations... (enough power to run GTA:SA at minimal settings)
the "security" feature that asks you for permission for almost EVERYTHING... fucking annoying...
confusing Start menu... some way important things were removed...
hard to navigate Control panel... some settings hidden under layers of folders...
a reboot, with the same computer, with same softwares installed, takes longer on Vista (proven, no matter what you "feel")
Lowered Graphics capabilities.. for everything.. even playing DVD with its default programs...
No "open with" option with rightclicking on a file... hard to find target program...
the files and folder search totally failed... just failed....
the CMD commands are realigned... some commands fails to give vital info for "protection"... (which is the primary reason why i downgraded)
the VPN connection has a major programming flaw.. whatever it is, its still not fixed...
the way it manages hardware, degrades performance...

fact: Mac purchases skyrocketed when Vista took over XP on the market...

honestly all the things vista promised... faster boot, more efficiency blah blah blah... failed to deliver... the only thing that vista has over XP is cool animations... (oooooo big deal)

[THEWICKERMAN]

lol i just noticed ive never used the aero thing ONCE and i just updated to sp1 so i can hopefully download one of the 2.5million limited downloads of windows 7 beta :c (though americans will steal them all i know....)

we need an os arguing thread cos im seeing os discussion everywhere now lol

LOL WE ARE NERDS EX DEEEE EX DEEE ROFLMAOLOL
