The amount of ram above 1 gb has very little effect on performace unless you
are doing CAD, video editing or heavy high res photoshop work.
Trust me, I have tried both XP and Vista on the same machine...
XP is faster and better on the same hardware my a margine of at least 20%...
and whatever you feed vista in ram it wont get better especially in the case
of this guy who is trying to play games....
Can you just accept that the only difference between Vista and a Bucket of
sh*t is the bucket?
From what I have observed over the last 1 year installing Vista for clients
on a multitude of machines, the only way for vista to be at least
functionable (for tasks more that email and browsing) is to have an
extreamly powerful cpu, so that even though Vista will be slowing everything
down, the amount of added slowness will not annoy you to the point were you
want to throw it out of the window.
A client of mine who has dual boot keeps telling me how slow vista is, an a
very fast 2 core machine with 2 gigs of ram...
each time I go to his place for various things, he keeps telling me this.
You see he can compare the 2 OS because I have set up a Dual Boot for him.
He ends up using XP 99% of the time.. LOL
Mind you that there is NOTHING wrong with the Vista install... everything is
ok.. its just Vista...
You know vista.. the failure OS from Microsoft?
By wondering like a fool to this poster if he has enough ram you are trying
to imply that its not Vista that is the problem, you are trying to mislead
him, and make him think that there is something wrong with the computer
itself.
That is revolting, and its not honest. Be a man and come out of the closet
and tell the truth (if you know it that is) because there are only 2 options
a) You are totally ignorant that vista is a slow and bloated POS OS. and you
should not be a MVP
b) You are misleading people on purpose which is worse than a)
in any of the above cases you are not displaying any kind of intelligence...
I suggest you either learn the basics or put a sock in it.
