dock98 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Windows Vista is the most notorious operating system in the world at this time, but this doesn’t mean it’s also the fastest. While I can’t help you solve those well known driver problems or hardware compatibility issues, I will try to give you some quick hints on how to improve the speed of this operating system.Windows Vista Ultimate BoxNo matter if your computer is a low-end one or a “space ship”,if you optimize your Windows Vista, things are going to improve for sure, but it’s also obvious that people using low and mid-range systems are going to enjoy this more than the happy ones having Quad Core CPUs and 4GB of memory or morefull article… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anteus Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Maybe then you would like to try Linux for even more speed improvement, like I did? (I'm dual-booting Ubuntu and XP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marke68 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 :P the only real problem i've found with vista is the file transfer speed it's so much slower than xp but otherwise i cant say i've had any other problems with it,i guess i've been lucky although i think i'll have a look at ready boost to see if it makes a noticable difference,i got 4gig of flash on order so i'll find out in a few days :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunisherX Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 1 think is for sure,if your a gamer then stay on XP,but anyway i don't recommend Vista because of the drivers issues and of course the high system requierments.Better stay on XP some more time.

getyasome Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Thanks for the update.. There's lots of tweak tools for vista ultimate that are great. Yea it's a CPU hog but Ram saver pro 7 fixes that . I run Xp Pro black with vmware workstation and dont think it's any faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
