Ha. My friend has a quad core Intel box @ 2.4GHz, 8800GTX (Built by Velocity Micro....hey, I didn't know him before 3 months ago otherwise I would've told him to just build it and save a grand.)

It runs like butter on high graphics detail under Vista 32 bit. Not even 64 bit Vista.

My 7950GT OC gets manhandled pretty badly at times under medium detail and WinXP. Oh well.

I'm with ya on that! Been away from this place for awhile due to deer hunting season, working on my truck, Xmas decorations around the home, Boy Scouting, etc. That's the nice things about electronics, versus women, children, and employers... Electronics will sit idling in standby mode. The others demand constant attention!

vista ain't all that bad, IF YOU TWEAK it up, and cut ALL the damn USELESS services OFF.

 

I know your pain, Hero999...

Yes, visa is all that bad.

Now microsoft is banning "upgrading" from vista to xp (lol)? That is sad. It is bad when a company has to cry and bawl about how their new toy SUCkS (and then force it upon the rest of the world)

You don't get that sort of crap with linux.


The only machine i run windoz on now is my laptop (which i am dual booting with linux). Windoz is the only way i can get some of the devices on my Gateway 4026gz (like the SD card reader)

They have always done that; made it "difficult" to downgrade your winwoes version. All you need is a HD tool to remove all traces of the winvirri and you can install any of the older versions of winwoes that you want. A Knoppix CD is good for this.

Aaah. Knoppix. Knoppix is my favorite distro, but it cannot be installed (very easily)

I already knew that they already tried to make it difficult, but now m$ is trying something different that is supposed to make it even MORE difficult. Either way, Knoppix and QTPARTED (or gparted) will get rid of that little issue...

Adobe recently asked me if I want their new PDF software version for free. I accepted it.
Now when I plug in my SD memory chip from my digital camera into my pc it is Acrobat that saves the pics from it. I think it was my HP printer software that did it before. Many programs do it.

I always check very carefully all the options when installing "free" software. It pays to do the advanced install and turn off things like browser add ons, things that wanna run in the tray or at boot because they are the most important little arrogant pieces of code ever designed and anything else that wants to do your thinking for you....

I was going to install some free CAD software once. I was flipping through the agreement (something I never usually do) and noticed a clause about installing ad software to keep the CAD program free. It was phrased to include pop-ups, pop-unders, and just about every other form of ad campaigning possible on a computer.

Not friendly.

Audio, you can just change the windows registry to make it work like before.

My pc has too many softwares that do the same function but differently. If I goof at assigning one of them then they might fight each other.
