Utilitarian things look like shit, but that's not the point. Point is, it's a suckier candy (for my tastes) with a nicer wrapping. And that's all it is, nicer wrapping to get your attention away from it's numerous security flaws and other downsides.

And as Win was a copy of MacOS, .NET a copy of Java, Vista a copy of a little bit of everything.

I like orignals. Just like my candy.

Well put. I'm a sucker for fancy packaging.

I had this same mobo until I installed some ram myself and somehow fried it. Probably karma from something I did wrong to someone.

Originally posted by VERTiG0 I haven't, actually. The last thing I overclocked was my old Thunderbird core Athlon 1400 on an MSI K7T-Turbo RAID mobo. The ****** would idle at 65 degrees C with a Globalwin FOP38 HSF, so I ran some dryer ducting out the window and overtop of the CPU/HSF with 2 Sunon 12cm fans in it - idled at 18 degrees after that. Mind you, this was the dead of winter. Managed to get it up to 1600 flat, but anymore than that and she'd shit out. That was the absolute max for that core, I suppose. Also, I have no idea how to even go about overclocking this thing. It's seriously been about 4 years since I last did that stuff. How does one do it these, days, FSB stuff or what?

Pretty much the same as the olden days except AMD architecture uses HTT.. basically FSB.. but with a direct connection between CPU and RAM rather than running through the NB. So HTT also has a multiplier.. I'm surprised vista is running so well on your computer though.

I should be getting my hands on my new Dell Core2 Duo laptop any day now... loaded to the tits and back. Can't wait to give Vista a whirl on it (and after playing with the latest RC I'm sold, Macs have nothing more to offer to me )

it will be hard leaving Suse 10.1/WinXP dual boot setup...

it's funny to spot the anti-microsoft peeps a mile away; what can i say, Microsoft is my bread and butter right now, so i have no issues with them finally releasing a prettier o/s. I'm always entertained by those who accuse Microsoft of copying, thus meaning windows is illegitimate (as if we caught them doing something sneaky). Of course they copy! They're the masters of it. That's how this wonderful business world works, Microsoft just does it the best. The security stuff in it can be a little insane at times, but I'm enjoying the layout, gui and advanced features. I'm not big on the icons, they seem to be a throw-back (folder icons, etc), but that's just "window" dressing. We won't be installing it on any of our development boxes for some time, but certainly will have throw it at support since all new PCs will begin shipping with it soon... so like it or not, here it comes! Might as well like it...

opengl was performing pretty shitty on the RC1 install i had going... i have read a bunch of things but a lot of it sounds like FUD so i dunno what the facts are.

i hope this changes for final... carmack and epic game engines rely heavily on opengl along with a bunch of professional graphic apps and some other stuff out there...

Vista is best ever!

Won't boot on my machine anymore. I didn't install anything new, it just BSODs hardcore and dumps everything. I don't know what's going on. Oh well.

Hmmm sorry to hear that. That's why I'm building my new PC in may. Vista's shipping 19500 drivers on the dvd.. and windows update has another 11000. I guess that's what happens when you rewrite an OS from scratch essentially.

^^^

rewrite from scratch? come on, let's not go overboard now...

for what its worth i was liking it until it wouldnt run my opengl stuff well... will give it another run in the new year

This RC2 is still frikin buggy as hell. The full release had BETTER be A LOT better than this lateset RC Ive been screwing with. Im back on XP full time, as I cant be bothered to spend a single moment more trying to make this OS tweeked any further when theres obviously a lot to finish on it still. Im finding a lot of missing script, windows that pop up with nothing in them, crashes for no appearent reason, CPU sometimes working 100% when all I am doing is waiting for it to boot up.........AFTER 25 MINUTES........etc...etc....etc.....

I can go on and on, but hey, its a Beta, and I fully expected this, and overall, I am impressed. I told myself I would be happy just getting it to run semi decent in full out 64 bit, and I have, and now im done.

It has potential to be fuckin cool shit, but theres no way I would actually purchase this OS untill at LEAST a service pack 1 or 2 is released.

That should give all the software and hardware manufacturers a chance to work out their compatibility bugs, while microsoft finishes the job they were rushed into just for the sake of making a release date.

XP is just to solid to let go and too reliable to dump for Vista..........right now. I also cant imagion running this OS on anything slower than what my specs are, which is a pretty decent machine. (details of my machine posted in a few posts above)

Id say in about a year from now, it should be solid enough to justify the purchase.

about 6 months in now, couldn't be happier

previous windows seem to eat themselves over time.
This one gets faster and faster somehow, im guessing due to all the indexing.
My Laptop boots in 10 seconds or less now, unbelievable
