KILLERNIC- any thoughts?

You are making me wonder if I should have installed Vista 64bit instead of XP 64bit!

I have been very happy with my XP and just never felt like changing as of yet.

I do have newer hardware: Striker II Formula MB, 4GB Corsiar 1066 ram, Extreme CPU, 9800 GX2, ect... and to make it sound even dumber: I have about a dozen copies of Vista Business 32 and 64 bit that I have never used. Embarassed

Maybe I need to think about changing sometime soon. At least I could enjoy the DX 10.

installed it yesterday , no problem at all !
loadup takes a bit longer , think that is because i have a dualboot now (i kept xp , just to jump back to xp if there were problems)
will format both disks in a few weeks if it keeps working without problems
it will always take a little bit of time to get used to a new OS , but it looks great.

only a little trouble to set up vent , sound settings are different as what i was used to in xp.

Everytime I take a Computer Graphics Technology class I get offered all kinds of free software from Purdue. I have always taken all of the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office programs. I usually don't take anything else. Even though they are free, I don't use or know what any of the other stuff is. All software is FULL versions. I have been getting and using these for the past eight years.

Here's a list of the free programs I can get:

I also get software from ITAP at Purdue at very low prices. Again I tend to buy all the Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office programs and leave the others. I have more copies of XP Pro 32/64 bit and Vista Business 32/64 bit than I will ever use. I only keep four to five PC’s at home. Currently they all have Windows XP Pro with one at 64 bit. I’ll make the move to Vista one of these days.

I wish someone had a copy or two of Microsoft Office Pro 2007 that they wanted to trade for something. Hint Hint Wink

Here’s the list of Software I can get at ITAP, it’s not free like the others but is reasonably priced.

Is the business Vista 64 full install, or upgrade??? I ask because I found out that if you have a 32 bit OS (regardless of version), you cannot "upgrade" to 64-bit... You have to do a full install...

Eagle U might be right BUT...

when I updated my wife's puter with Vista Mad

with SP1 it craped it out and gave the "BLACK" screen of death immediately! Evil or Very Mad

It took me OVER 4 hrs Sat to restore that piece of shita! Evil or Very Mad

We have 3 GB's of mem and are running a Duo 2 Core 2.2mhz and it's so s-l-o-w it's not funny! It takes f-o-r-e-v-e-r.... to load that resource hog! Mad

Yes I will NOT ever put vista shita on MY puter but she is stuck with it! (I may in fact wipe her's and install XP!)

Thanks for listening to my rant, I do fell a little better! Evil or Very Mad
