bibby>Chode Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 1gb of ram is very possible to run. I tell people all day every day. 1gb will run fine, but i would really recommend 2gb's. I have a buddy who ran vista on 1gb of 2700, and a celeron 2.7ghz machine. It ran perfect. He eventually upgraded to 2gb when he started editing videos, but honeslty, 90% of the population does not need a computer with 2gb of ram. Although it would be optimal, it is not necessaryto run. And please, lets not turn this into a vista hate thread/argue. i will shut it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 what if he wants to use Windows DVD maker? anyhow when your in the business you can only really talk about legal windows as youll always have 1 customer who makes a bit stink that thier xp didnt come with a key WTF is going on.

bibby>Chode Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I'm not saying I'm an expert. I fiddle with them and (rarely) assume legality when dealing with xp. However, yes, in the legal world. It would be cheaper to get another gig of 2700 ram than get a copy of xp. Vista will work fine yes with 1 gb of ram. But your computer will perform much better on xp. Vista is just pack full of visual and useless effects that draw on your resources. start> right click computer, select properties> advanced system settings> advanced tab> under performance, choose settings. also, ms fucking config. granted again, 90% of people wont know how to do this, but if you dont have the machine to ahndle it, or jsut dont want some of the "pretty" that comes along with one of the greatest OS's ever, then the option is there.

It ran yes, but how it performed is another story. You see steady performance upgrades with each piece you upgrade. More ram, better processor, video card etc. I'm not going to make this a vista hate thread because I have to sell it. Again it just comes down to what the consumer is trying to do. If they are into gaming or video/photo editing or anything processor/ram/vid card intensive then yet it's gonna run slow. Average joe blow isn't going to know the difference or know if their brand new computer is running slow in comparison to the new quad core machine that was a few hundred dollars more than they could afford.

razor5070 Posted February 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Wow.... Sorry i started anything? I know how vista runs on a Fast machine... Gaming rig is a 4 GB, AMD phenom, 3870 x2 it runs fast.. And vista runs perfectly fine on this machine.. all i use it for is networking, sharing my music,vids ect with my 360 and other comps.. Aero is enabled runs fine.. never have any lag .. i just like the way vista shares it's media. If i wanted XP i would use it... i have a couple xp disk's Pro, home, 32/64 i just don't like xp. it was never a vista problem .. it was the antivirus... Avast antivirus to be exact. wasted 40$ on that... Using K7 totalsecurity now and it runs perfectly fine. Oh and i hear people all the time, downgrade ot xp this, go with xp that. I like vista... it runs great for what i need of it, and that's that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
