SP1 = slow poke one...
Guys dont expect SP1 to fix vista... it will remain slow and buggy
beyond belief!
Vista is unfixable...
Vista was horrible written and cannot be fixed... MS knows that..
Format your PC and install xp or linux or something...
anything but vista!
Then wait until the next version of windows comes out... since there
seems to be a pattern>>>>
Bad release win85, Good release win98, Bad release windows Me, Good
release windows XP, Bad
release windows Vista, Good release windows 7.
Hi Mike, sorry I have to disagree with you. I installed Vista 32bit on a
Dell single core 2.8gb w/1gb of ram. At 1st i really hated Vista because
there wasn't any Intel VGA driver to be found, Vista, Intel or Dell
didn't provide one. The video had the safe mode look. After installing a
GeForce4 MX 420 PCI card my video now is near perfect, Vista had the
driver for that. After doing some minor tweaks like only having AVG on
startups, tweaking cable connections, ran a couple of 3rd party programs
like a defrag with PerfectDisk, etc. In other words the system is clean.
I have to say it, thought I never would, I'm quite amazed how it
performs! Speed wise, it's fast, if not faster than any of my XPs. I'm
running 6 PCs, Dells & HPs, nothing lower than a 2.1gb, all with 1 gb
ram, I stay on top of everyone of them, all are well maintained.
Now, I'm quite aware Vista was designed for Dual-Core 64 bit, honestly,
performance wise on my sigle core 32 bit I can't see how it could be much
better? However, I don't play games and probably never will, perhaps if I
did that it would show it's true performance?
You never did say what you are running it on, store bought, what size,
make, so on.
Also, I just want to make note, I ran ME on three PCs for three years
and never once ever had a problem, not once, never a bad boot, never had
a blue srceen, all 3 ran smooth. I had more problems with 98! I think
what happened was ME was launched and people disliked it at first until
the bugs were fixed, the they jumped right to 2000 or XP and never gave
it a chance, but, It was smooth. I still have two old 500mhz HPs with ME
just in case?
just my 2 cents, don't throw rocks!
