[Paperclips & Pillows :D]

Is it becuz i have Basic? it came with my dell, seems to act slow at executing/opening windows and programs

not trolling, just wondering if i should just erase everything i put XP on it

Nope my vista run's faster than XP and programs load faster as well.

Vista > xp > appleshite.

Mac trolling failed.

i dont need to hear shit like this, i just want a answer

 

[Kunmui]

No, Vista runs faster for me.

 

[Ultimate Warrior]

i'm pretty sure that's his opinion on your question fucktard

nevermind posting system specs though when asking why your pc is slow

3800 x2 dual core amd
1 gig ram

Vista is bloatware, essentially, and it takes a lot of ram for it to work smoothly, it's more than likely your ram. I think Vista is only comfortable with 4gig.

 

[Kunmui]

I run with 1 gig and mine is quicker running Vista then it was with XP

I had the "opportunity" to run Vista on a brand new box day before yesterday. It was a good spec for the hardware, and I seriously thought it was broken already. Vista certainly appears to be retarded..."bloatware" is the correct term. IMO uninstall Vista and install XP...

Here's the real story behind Vista. I am sticking with XP:

Supposing I don't give a rat's ass about playing HD content on my computer and will never attempt to do so, what relevance does any of this have to the user experience?

2GB runs smoothly for me, definitely better than XP did.

turn off "animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" in your visual effects and it will be much snappier

Vista >>>>> XP

i couldnt ever multitask on xp as fast as i can on vista.... loads programs so fucking fast

 

[zinu_angel]

IIRC, the reason Vista runs faster for many is that it preloads frequently used programs into RAM, and they are thus available much more quickly than loading them off the HD. Apparently, "Superfetch" is a more enhanced version of the prefetching feature found in previous versions of Windows.

What Antivirus program is running on it? If Norton, then get rid of that shit. * > Norton Antivirus.

Superfetch FTW. All you dillholes bitching about how "Vista takes up to much RAM, it's bloatware!" Stop crying for 2.5 minutes and Google Superfetch. Your RAM isn't "used up", it's caching your apps and is released when you open something different.
