Vista Installed!

[meade916]

so far my brand new alienware has been a nightmare of bluescreens.......ive been on the phone with tech support numerous occasions. I didnt really say much about it because as much as i paid i didnt want anyone to know i thought i had a lemon. Well, today i recieved my Windows Vista Premium (free from Alienware) and i gotta say i think my problems are FINALLY OVER!! (i hope)

so far its rock solid and the graphics seem even better....no blue screens where there would have FOR SURE in a certain part of this one game i was playing.

Anyway i like the way Vista is setup with the 3d window thing, its very cool!!

I think my 8800gtx's prefer the DX10 over the DX9.......and whoever told me i wouldnt see SLI drivers for Vista till june was full of shit!! Im chillin in SLI right now on the lastest drivers!!!

anyway back to gaming till my eyes are bloodshot, i can finally enjoy my Alienware!!

Oh I don't know Steve, my buddy has Vista on his computer and he says its slow and lags like a bitch alot. but If it works for you then congrats lol

[Guest Nismofreak]

It lags because of the gadgets. If he disables it. Man the computer is a hell lot faster because that is works alot better.

it depends on ur computers specs if u have over 1 gb memory , good cpu's, good video card, then it will run Windows Vista Aeron Edition witch looks pretty cool

I love Vista and the gadgets. Mine shows the weather, cpu meter, and headlines. With 2gb ram and a Core2Duo 2.13ghz processor its pretty fast. Its much better overall than my previous computer (WinXP, Pentium 4 3ghz, & 1gb ram).

you can always run virtual pc on vista if u need an xp program
