Best modified vista?(eternity edition or royal buisness edition?)

[JGB]

for keeping a fairly streamlined and stable(for vista) PC.
I have eternity edition installed but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative(not going back to XP, file transfers between drives are just too slow)

[saulin]

Eh? Why not just use a regular version like Premium or Basic or Business etc...

It depends on what your needs are man. I don't use Vista cause it was garbage when I tried it but Premium seemed to have everything you would need. Business is more for domains and for business use really.

Its funny as I just saw a Windows Vista Nvidia Evolution edition today . I had to smile as someone took the time to upload and seed for some ungrateful fucks .

Made me smile as I love the effort that some uploaders go to . Least I could do is share 6/1 and let people decide for them selves .



I don't like Vista but have tried Vista Black 64 bit and would use that if XP Pro becomes unsupported .

Gee I don't know , it would depend on your hardware .


64bit or 32 ? I can't in all honesty tell you what you need to do to speed up your system .
It would help if you told us what your hardware specs were and what you what to do with it .

Gamer or just for browsing the net ?

Oh ok that's better , can you not just upgrade the ram ? Say another 1 gb . I don't have a laptop so not sure about the battery issue . If interested there may be a better O/S like Black or Extreme to try .


Most of the tweaks you could do yourself so not sure what a performance gain you would see .

Just use a straight up copy of vista, and if your computer can't handle it, use XP or get a new computer.

I'm D/L a version called Windows Vista Extreme Edition R2 . Sounds interesting ,its 32 bit but still going to try .

Warning: This is an 32 bit Windows Vista SP1!

Notes:
- Installation will take some more time because of extraction on 20000 small gadget files and thousands of drivers file and its installation. but its worth to wait. ( and its 4 GB of data in wim file ).

- Do NOT INSTALL KB940510 HOTFIX. It will deactivate your windows. This hotfix is not integrated and will show up in your update list.

- It is safe to update your windows. but read above note.

- Use any genuine Activator placed inside "Activators" Directory of your desktop to activate vista.Although none of these activators will work on Dell PC.So If you use a crap Dell PC , then you have to find an activator yourself. Dont ask me about it.

It's common problem associated with notebooks. Vista will eventually slows down for a long hour of usage. I think Benjamin Black Vista Mod edition is a good to try out:yup:

[snowsurfa7]

I have the ben black edition on my desktop and I will typically run 5-7 days inbetween restarts, will it slow down? inevitably yes it will but so far I have been pretty happy with the black edition
