I have few problems with Vista.

I give the p1r4t3s thumbs up.

YARRR! This be pirateable!

Solaris17 · May 23, 2007

well i have found more tweaks ill post them later right now im on my sisters comp upgrading was NOT the way to go it whent through the wholeprocess and now keeps rebooting i noticed though that vista is really sketchy with oc'ing at any rate im going to clean install w/e ill have to reinstall everything i used to hate loosing years worth of work but hey 250gb back up drives
FTW at any rate ill get back to you guys and then ill add the tweaks i found im searching long and hard for them so iv found a few thnx boys ill let you know whats up.

Vista is great. Unfortunately, XP is more refined. Therefore, I use XP until hardware can catch software. Go for an all out Vista Solaris, o and FYI, do you score about a 4.4? Thats what I did.

Solaris17 · May 23, 2007

yes id did actually exactly a 4.4 pvt lol our systems are sooo close together.

Solaris17 · May 23, 2007

well its done after a failed upgrade attempt i wiped the disk and installed from the dvd...well here i am no problems at all and everything works and its just as fast imo as xp after some tweaks etc...im going good boys i might just keep this updated so future ppl can read it and see whats up ill have 06 scores etc for you guys tomarrow

It means noobs can buy games and brag about their PC being better just because Vista says it is.

I think my system scores 4.2.

Wonder what I would score. (Haven't bothered installing vista after I broke it)

Kreij · May 23, 2007

Vista likes more cores !

Mine is at 5.9 for everything except RAM, which is 5.5

DRDNA · May 23, 2007

5.9 is my lowest score on cpu @ 3.12 on the rig in the sig.

And noway will I get rid of XP as it will let me watch High def with out buying a new monitor and graphic cards .WTF a new monitor , the one I have now in my sig cost friggin $1500...what a joke.

5.9 was the highest score you could get unless they updated the scale.
I had heard that as better hardware came out they were going to up the max number but I never heard any more about it.

PVTCaboose1337 · May 23, 2007

I score 5.9 on everything, except 5.3 on HD and 4.4 on CPU.

DRDNA · May 23, 2007

I really need a DX10 card for my rig!!! Any recommendations? I don't think I would be happy with the HD2900xt ....and damn if I can wait to the first quarter of 2008 which is just about a guarantee of being late.

I thought that Westinghouse is HDCP. You shouldn't have to buy a new monitor. Without HDCP, you wouldn't even be able to play some HD movies with standalone players on that set, and that completely defeats the purpose of selling a 1080p set.

XP can't read Vista's network settings .

Thats why I won't upgrade to Vista. I've got three laptops on my network sharing this computer's files, and I'm not about to shell out huge amounts to make the whole network compatible, when its perfectly fine at the moment. Maybe if there was a way to make them compatible...

There's no need to worry. You just have to change Vista's network settings. It sets them differently than XP by default. I have 2 PCs and 2 Macs on my network, and Vista networks flawlessly with any of them.

Wow , your right !! I read an artical that came out after My monitor was released that said (There are no Monitors that are HDCP vista compliant being made as of the time the article was writen.)So I just figured it wouldnt work . I will for sure find out when I actually use it to watch High Def content while on my Vista.The article also said manufactures can lable stuff as HD ready and it truely is not vista HD compliant.
