Bittorrent - XP or VISTA?

[1000possibleclaws]

It's recommended 2gb ram for vista. if you want to try it out just buy another ram stick, they are cheap. Also, you need a non-integrated video card to make full use of Aero.

kaffeine you're wrong.

The base scores currently range from 1 to 5.9. The Windows Experience Index is designed to accommodate advances in computer technology. As hardware speed and performance improves, higher base scores will be introduced. However, the standards for each level of the index stay the same. For example, a computer scored as a 2.8 will remain a 2.8 unless you decide to upgrade the computer's hardware.

my pc has a 5.9 for RAM and I use 2gb. my overall score is 5.0 because my dual processor isn't that great i guess. i have 5.9 for graphics with an 8800GTS 320MB card, and then my primary hard disc scores 5.4 and it is 320 gb, i forget how many RPM


I recommend getting Vista after your next PC upgrade. I'm very happy with it and it's almost painful to use XP computers now

use xp mate , vista cant run with only 1 GB RAM or buy another ram

Yea, that's the overall score it gives. I didn't consider each individual one, but I guess other devices are contributing to the bad score, like video and such.

Never mind that score thing, what I was trying to say is that even with a pretty decent machine, Vista still sucks big time.

Turn off the flash features, ans you have no issue. Ive run vista on a emachine with 512 ram.

Vista can be just as good as XP if you make it. It can also be better as well. GO with one of the other. Whats the worst that can happen, you take 1 hour and reload it.

Not like you are paying for it anyways.

XP is better.
1G is too small for VISTA
