What kind of a video card are you running, Dave? That's a nice score.

It's marketing bullshit... and a Radeon X1900

GL... Oddly enough, Vista runs better on my Mac than it does on my machine at work. Now I just have to figure out how to get back into OS X

Runs pretty damn smooth though.

hmmm, a x1900 gives you the highest possible score?

i thought this score was supposed to scale for the future when better stuff comes out, ie. it wouldn't be possible to get a max score right now

and yes i know it's all marketing shit

Post by **werldhed** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 12:53 pm

I haven't had time to install yet. I'm not expecting a very high score.

Post by **MKJ** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 12:54 pm

I heard only nerds and homos need to install vista...sounds like I was right.

I heard the exact same thing about XP back when it was released.

And look what OS everyone is using now.

Post by **MKJ** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 2:59 pm

loved XP since the beginning \o/ it was a giant leap over 98.
Vista looks and feels like a "lets get into the cool OS trend" whim

Post by **puffalufagus** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 3:07 pm

seriously...vista is like a minor upgrade that slows everything down about 20%...

if u can name 5 new features that really mean something i will switch now...

Post by **Wizard .3** » Mon Jan 29, 2007 3:20 pm

What's the highest attainable score?
