Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP
Upgrading to new computer, I am wondering what the general consensus is about Windows Vista at the moment. I know in the beginning there many complaints and problems with Vista but I have heard alot better as time goes on. The computer I'm getting will be able to handle it fine, I am just hoping that it will work with most games at the moment (especially PR).
Otherwise, I will just stick to Windows XP which I already have. |

Re: Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP
Go for Vista. I use it, and if you're buying a computer now anyway, you won't have old hardware. Vista is great, except for some supporting some oldie hardware.

Re: Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP

I haz 4GB RAM now. And in terms of speed i dont see a difference between vista 64 and xp 32. So go with Vista. |

Re: Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP
3.12gb is the limit for 32bit Vista, 64bit goes to 128gb if you have vista ultimate, 8gb for 64bit home.

Re: Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP
Wait, 128 GB of RAM?
That's like my whole hard drive... |

Re: Windows Vista 64bit vs Windows XP
I am very happy with my Vista 64, and the very rare times I have come across a program that is not Vista64 ready, it is easy to find a different one that is (I play with a ton of different programs).
I was happy with it enough that I went last weekend and bought a new laptop at bestbuy with Vista64 already installed for my wife. |
