My Vista pc is plenty fast enough bucko.

[Nightshade]

Bet mine's faster, you old scrote.

[Scourge]

Doubt it sparky.

edit: They're almost identical except I'm running a Phenom Quad-core.

Its worth running Vista for DX10 support

[Scourge]

I spent around $700 for a brand new rig and it runs everything (except crysis) smooth as silk in Vista. That article was written 2 years ago. Before Vista was even released. Believe me, they were off on a few things. I also run XP dual boot. There's not that much difference in speed.

So what? I'm running XP Pro and yours is running off trailer and mullet power.

[Lieutenant Dan]

Fancy.

I just gota new pc last week and it has vista, I'll have to see about getting sp1. I find it's quite buggy so far but I expected as much from a new os. IT doesn't seem too slow to me but I've got 2 gig's of ram... should I get more?

[Lieutenant Dan]

More of most things is better.

Crysis review in TPCG:

If you believe Microsoft, DX10 is going to revolutionise gaming. In reality the difference is hardly noticeable and a vast majority of Crysis' DX10 effects can be enabled on DX9 simply by editing a config file. All our screen grabs were taken in DS9.

I am just to lazy to do shit like that...

More of most things is better.

Except Aids, shit, and spiders.

[Dr_Watson]

all of which are covered by the word "most"

[Scourge]

Doubt it sparky.

So what? I'm running XP Pro and yours is running off trailer and mullet power.

And yours is powered by the intense solar rays reflecting off of your cranium.

ANNOUNCEMENT

In case anyone hasn't heard in the last few years, Goof pirates software and is extremely proud of it. Film at 11.

I've been running the recalled SP1 since February

Does it do all it's supposed to do? I've been running sp1 all of a couple hours.

[scared?]

don't be jellus scourge...

[Scourge]

Why would I be jealous? My Vista was free also.

[Dave]

Yeah, it's fine... The recall was a for a reboot loop problem with setup. Mine installed without issue and the actual patches were always clean. I have six or seven clients running it as well and none of them have had any more problems than SP0 Vista had. We've been getting a lot of corrupt profiles lately, but those have happened on both SP0 and SP1 installs. I think I have 270 Vista clients overall.

Corrupt profiles? Wow, I haven't seen that since Windows 95...

[Dave]

It's happened four times in the past two or three weeks
