lol. I need a laptop for school, so I want it to be as fast as it can for as little as possible.

i prefer vista, because it is more faster and there isnt so big problems about programs, most of them working perfect

What do you think? :frusty::dry:

Depends on what you use your computer for and what your system is like, really.

Most of this should be stating the obvious, but just in case:

You'll probably get more speed out of XP Pro irregardless, even if it's the 32-bit version running on a 64-bit system.

What Vista has over XP is being able to use RAM over 4GB at all, and RAM over 3GB "well", and 64-bit support (I hear the driver support for XP 64 can be dodgy). Oh, and dx10 without resorting to something homemade to get it working.

It does seem to get sluggish pretty fast, not sure exactly why that is, yet. Maybe it needs a third party defragger and a separate partition for pagefiles, and getting rid of all tempfiles and other junk from updating at even intervals, and shutting a shitload of unnecessary stuff down, obviously.

I tossed in a 4GB flash drive for readyboost and completely removed my page file. Vista worked great.

Only reason I reverted back to XP was I needed to use some older programs that would never be updated to Vista. And, I gotta say, I miss Vista. Gonna be installing Vista Ultimate 64bit once I get my E7200 installed.

Vista + large music collection = sex.

I still prefer XP pro , I think it's faster on my systems . I'm using XP Indego 9 on one computer and Black XP 19 on the other .


I wonder if its the performance tweak that's included ?


PERFORMANCE TWEAK: CORE OS & KERNAL RUNNING IN RAM

xp ftw ;)
