corydoras 436 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 i expect if you took out all the useless "visual" crap vista may improve but as usual rather than streamlining with better code microsoft just piles in extra code slowing things down.still negotiating for a vista 64bit version from a source but will dual boot with XP to be on the safe side.eventually everything will be 64bit so i'l have a head startAre you running 64 bit Vista chesters? The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.Vaut mieux ne rien dire et passer pour un con que de parler et prouver que t'en est un!Mi, ch’fais toudis à m’mote Link to post Share on other sites
chesters1 1478 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 (edited) no awaiting a chap to find a copy ,fear not it will be a multi user version (multi licence) not a "copy" as such they dont use it yet but he's having a word with the other techs as there will be copies on other more hard working servers ,most are linux but its not a 100% perfect for all departments. some need more than 4 gig memory so if their not linux they will be XP64 or vista64 i just have to keep reminding him as techs are busy people when theres few of them and downloading hard core porn in your free time tends to make you forget things Edited October 26, 2008 by chesters1 Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle Mathew 4:19 Grangers law : anything i say will turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

corydoras 436 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I might have another go at Vista when SP2 comes out. I've got a spare HD so I can easily give it a try without risking my nice fast and stable XP SP2 installation.

Of course, you could always get a mac with OSX 10.5 Leopard on it, just to see what it should be like Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

If Apple were to do a generic PC version of Leopard I'd certainly give the wheels of that a kick. A mac pro with the nvidia card in it would be cool. Got one going spare?

I know where there is one for sale but unfortunately in the current economic climate a re-mortgage seems unlikely I too have an elderly G4 with 10.4.11 which I still much prefer to my PC with XP Pro Edited October 27, 2008 by Sportsman Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be.

Is it the PCI or the AGP version? it's a G4 quicksilver 733mhz with 640mb of ram bought on Ebay for very little. It play youtube vids perfectly. I also use Photoshop, and Illustrator as well as Quark Express and it has MS Office for Mac, all of these run with no problems.

Mine is the Sawtooth but is only a 350MHz, with 512MB. It struggles with YouTube stuff, but I got it for free so can't complain.
