It probably can, but why would I want it?

Here's a crazy idea, if you're going to use a word, learn to use it properly.

I dumped Vista on my old desktop because it couldn't run it well, but let me tell you, with a powerful system and SP1 it works quite well.

Sure it's a resource hog, but give it a nice C2D processor and a healthy 4 gigs of RAM and it will run without a hitch.

I still don't like a few things like the new look and layout of the Explorer windows, but otherwise it's fine. It's worth it if you have an adequate system, if only for more pleasant eye candy and DX10.

Viper007Bond · June 13th, 2008, 11:02 PM

Yeah, I nearly max out the benchmarking scores on Vista (only my CPU is a few tenths short). I also just picked up 2 more gigs of RAM for $30 after MIR which will help with being ingame and having shit going on in the background.

Oh, and of course I didn't spend any money on Vista. Screw paying like $300 for this.

Vette Boss · June 13th, 2008, 11:52 PM

^ I was under the impression you bought it. While it's not worth paying for, it's excellent if you don't.

My copy of XP was legal, but it came with my Dell which was 2-3 PCs and 6 years ago.

MSDNAA with free XP and Vista licenses FTW!!!

Archie411 · June 14th, 2008, 08:31 PM

Blah who needs Vista for transparencey?
Behold the magnificent WINDOWS XP

.........cue criket noise.....

Oh and dont think im a Vista fanboy who cant afford it, I just like the looks of it.
Dont get the inpression that I dont like Vista but my PC do not have the specs to run it.
Oh and do excuse the small amount of applications.

Ewww, Norton.

^ How can you live with having the IRC on that white-text-on-black mode? It must really make your eyes tired...

Try it, much more relaxing than black text on a white background.

Indeed. Much better than staring at what would basically be a flashlight, especially when it's dark here.
