The Hangout: This heat makes me want to kill. I'll sit on you all. Slowly. Seperately

Aw man. I really need a graphics card now. And I almost had the cash for the 8400GS. Now I've got no money at all.

[Inferno.]

Nice. But I have no need for a 320mb card.

[Inferno.]

Also, get a Vista theme, yo!

If I wanted shit wasting resources, I'd get Vista.

But the powa, THE POWA!!! The megs of RAM don't make a difference except in super high res games.

It's XP, but looks like Vista. It's nice.
It doesn't use much more 'resources' than Windows XP itself.

Actually Vista doesn't waste resources like most non-vista people seem to believe

Well it has nothing I want and I have no reason to change, so it's all pretty much just a waste imo.

I only mainly want a DX10 graphics card (8400GS) for Vista. Idc about games.

I would dual boot w/XP & Vista. If I was to install Vista.

Still, it has a lot of compatibility problems and it's a resource hog... you really are into gaming? (Panda, I know you are )

Get more than 2 GB, and I can tell you this by a lot of experience. Heck, were still running our gaming machines at the job with XP and 2-4 GB of RAM (dependng of the system and XP cannot address the whole 4 GB, 3.25 is the maximum)and when we tested Vista the games we installed felt slower.

Unfortunately they want to demo a Halo 2 LAN game so... we'll be "upgrading" our demo gaming PC's to Me 2... Vista. :\

Alky project is bringing DX10 to XP, so yeah.

The Vista Performance and Reliablilty Pack changes everything though.

Panda Man, what are the temps like on your GTS?

The Vista Performance and Reliablilty Pack changes everything though.

Please post a link to this info since it seems that I didn't know of this pack's existence.

That way I may consider installing that Vista Ultimate copy I have lying around...
