New site? Maybe some day.
|
Just bought this laptop with core duo, 1 GB of Ram, slow as hell im thinking of installing Windows XP instead. |
|
Is it really different from XP? |
|
Same crap, just a little fancier, slow as hell though. |
|
u should try ubuntu. shits quick. and u can can make it so it can boot into both pretty easy. just install xp first and it will give u the option. |
|
its being compared as an OSX rip off |

It is, they copied the dashboard from Apple.
|

i actually sorta like vista. there's a whole bunch of stuff you can do to make it run faster. straight outta the box it's gonna be slower than xp but if you tweak it then it'll work fine. just the fact that the desktop is rendered in 3d puts it miles ahead of xp. |

I have an Ibook G4 and everyday its getting slower.
|
|
I just bought a macbook this past weekend
first time ever using OSX, other then on friends computers, and Im loving it
takes a little getting used to but its all good |
|
i really dont think its such a big deal if microsoft borrowed some ideas from apples product but they are huge hypocrites when they threaten to sue linux "companies". |
|
you know u can also install os x on that shit now aswell. i hear getting things working can be tricky depending on your hardware but the system is stable once set up. |
|
I will never own an Apple because I fucking hate their commercials. |
|
wasted.. on the g4 u have get this program called cocktail... it does some system maintenace you can do via terminal and stuff but it makes it easier. just google it. its good shit. leave the cron stuff alone in it tho unless u know how to work it. |
|
Buy a fucking MAC, PC's are a waste of time. |
|
I'm perfectly happy with my PC. Fuck MACs. |
|
i'll never have a MAC probably unless working in audio forces me to have one, but not being able to right click...so unnerving! |
|
Mac: for when you want to pay twice as much, for shit no one wants to program for. |

This is the same reason I don't eat at Chili's. Fuck those cocksuckers. |
|
the military wont even use Windows Vista |
|
I'm sticking with a custom build of XP pro for now...vista looks slow as shit. |

just get a usb mouse with 2 buttons and right click it automatically maps the second button to a "right click" |
|
Apple's standard mouse is actually a right and left click mouse now. |
|
im not reading this thread i will simply inform you that its your fault for buying a new OS from microsoft. |
|
I won't own a mac because I don't support hash-smoking hippie companies. |
|
Wasted, did you uninstall all the trial shit software that comes pre-loaded with Vista?
Create your recovery disks (unless it is a TOshiba laoptop) so you can go back to Vista incase trying to load XP doesn't work.
I've heard of a few people trying to load XP on new systems and had a shit load of problems with drivers and the works.
Also, vista will always run rather slow with only 1GB of Ram (like running XP with only 512MB.) |
|
i run xp with only 512 and its fine. |
|
I'm pretty sure my computer only has a 256 ram stick and it works fine as long as I don't make it multi task or work on images above 300dpi. |
|
It depends on how much multi-tasking you do in xp and how much shit you installed (even if the complete program isn't running) what threads are running in the background.
For some people 512MB or 256MB may do the trick.
Mine at home is suped up with 2GB of RAM. Compared to some people who game (which I don't), that's nothing ram wise. |
