I recently got a 5770 card. I have 10.3 drivers installed and it seems to me that I am getting a real performance issue with OpenGL. I run a legacy game (VQuake, yeah I know lol and all that) which is of course OpenGL based. Never had performance issues with my 8800GTS but now I get major...

IMO best OS evar.

jnjboc, I run 8GB of RAM and mine is also a gaming rig. Depending on the game your RAM will be used as the games use RAM to read in textures, maps etc. 4GB is also cool. You won't be memory starved like in XP. HTH

Windows 7 was released because Vista was sooooo bad that it compared unfavourably to ME. It should be buried as the heap of garbage it was. Just my opinion...

If you move the backup out of the WindowsImageBackup folder you can have as many as you like. Rename the moved folder into a folder with a date or version number (e.g. noapps20100211) and (wallah) you can have plenty of backups. HTH

It's true, it won't work. Do what I did. Use Magicdisk106: http://www.magiciso.com/tutori...-magicdisc-history.htm HTH

Team, I had a legit version of Ultimate. That's right, strictly legit. I flashed my BIOS due to a memory incompatibility problem and then - no more activation. :-( WTF What is M$ doing in my BIOS??? Anyhoo, I reported this as a bug on the M$ form and was told that this doesn't...

How annoying is it when you have set up your machine, try to do a backup and it tells you that the backup will include your data drive (filled with > 2tb of "evaluation" stuff) and you can't deselect it? Well, very annoying. Two solutions: 1. Use the command line: WBADMIN START BACKUP...

Here we go (again): Issue: You see ?Unidentified local access only? message under Vista. Supposed fix: Microsoft says to put a registry fix in to address the issue. This doesn?t work. You start tearing your hair out (if you have any left...) Everyone is blaming Microsoft. But guess...

inverse, I would consider your results to be pretty good IMO.

ColKurtz, I have some experience in scripting in a test environment using automatic tools. We had a similar issue a while back so we scripted a maximise screen function into each script. This means that when a screen is called up the first step was to maximise it. Then, when the cursor is...

Vista uses a superior memory management technique to XP (as well as other OS's). I'm in agreement with Pabster in that memory menagement is the best part of Vista IMO. I run 2GB of RAM and usage varies quite a bit, from 780-1.25 GB which I consider to be the normal usage pattern for Vista...

Sorry to put it like this but.... I am ASSuming that it is a serious question and that you are not having a bit of fun at our expense, so to speak. If it is serious then I apologise profusely. Windows ME lasted about 45 minutes in our home. I was running 3 PC's. I brought home a copy of...

Yeah, interesting allright! I got caught. I have a valid (That's right, store bought) copy of Vista Ultimate. I purchased a new video card which required a BIOS flash for performance and stability reasons. Flash, bang, dead.... My previously fully activated Vista was now...

I defrag automatically daily as I churn a number of files (NOT ALL OF THEM TORRENTS!) I have never had an issue with any of the torrents. The only effect is that the defrag takes longer.
