[{DSG}DarkRaven]

Oh noses! Lightning-y has teh Vistaz!


Let's all be afraid for some reason. You know, as if nobody else on the planet has upgraded yet, or something.

[shadowboxer2007]

I got the ram are how else could i run it?????

[ShadowTiger]

You can never have enough RAM. I keep some under my pillow for when I need to store more REM.

I sense (Despite it being obvious.) that the image isn't showing off its design, but rather, its system specs. I don't know if it's a mockup or not considering your rather ... lucratively boastful history, but I will commend you for merely having the Sims 2 and WoW on it, as I am easily impressed.

[shadowboxer2007]

WoW to me is to hard to play so i play it when i drink. but i got all the sim games ask warlord he knows that i give him a copy of the first sim city. I am a sim fan more then a warcraft fan. even diablo i play more.

Minimum recommended RAM is 2GB for Vista; unless that sheet displays available RAM rather than total physical RAM I'd be willing to bet your system runs like a hog. I'd upgrade to Vista but I'm waiting on a few things: nVidia to actually release a WHQL driver Apple to make their stuff work An extra 1GB of RAM Service Pack 1

Also Windows XP wallpaper lol.

[redmage777]

It looks like Vista, but you're not running the Areo render engine? What is "AMD Dual Cell Beta" anyway and how does it run at 17.5 GHz without going into total melt down?

I have 2 Gb of ram, but I think I'm going to wait, at least untill I can snag an OEM from tiger direct (Like I did for XP) with SP1. and I might want to bump my ram up to 4Gb and a DX10 video card. I was tempted to use the "Vista transformation Pack" seen in Maximum PC, but Windows Blinds as many skins that look way cooler already.

[shadowboxer2007]

I don't like vistas wallpapers. they really need to stop adding there own. and as for my ram I have over 6gigs. no comment on the cpu. by the way most driver you will have to download before updating to vista. they do not carry them. really sucks when you are into beta stuff.

[The_Amaster]

*Sigh* What I wouldn't give for 2 gigs of ram. My current PC has like
120 megs. Yeah, MEGS. I like my mac much better, but my games that run slow on the PC don't even run on the mac. I'd love Vista, but I don't have 1100 bucks for a new comp.

[shadowboxer2007]

What kind of ram you need Amaster42? sdram pc100 dram dual dram what kind i might have some. I got all kinds that i keep for back up because i find you pc spacs or really bad.

[AtmaWeapon]

639 MB != 6 GB sorry.

I dunno, just thought I'd share.

They both run XP professional SP2, and I'd cut my penis off before I put vista on either. :P

[shadowboxer2007]

Masamune where do you get your wallpapers from they are really nice. i wish i would of keeped my xp but reinstalling stuff sucks. and formatting is hell. but most of my others i keeped xp pro & linux. I do admit i missed up updating to vista my wife told me not to. and atmaweapon thats what i was using when i took the screenshot.

That's a fucking mockup. Notice how the font in "AMD Dual Cell Beta" differs from that of Memory and System type. It is hard to notice at first, but inspect the 'e's and you will see it. If I know Microsoft's uniformity conventions like I think I do, it should all be the same font.

How do you figure that is a mock-up? The only time I touched the pic was to resize it. If I wanted to mock it up, I would have done it to the ram. The CPU has nothing to do with what I use my PC at home for. I can easily run a 1 gig processor without a problem. I never use a CPU to it's full potential, however I do use a lot of RAM, it's mind boggling. You wouldn't even begin to be able to fathom how much I use.

Whatever you want to believe to sleep better at night though I guess.

What OS is that, and how in the world does your gui look so cool?

[shadowboxer2007]

I beleave he is using some kind of linux. Don't know what distro.

[Deviance]

Yeah I use linux. I'm using beryl to do those neat effects.

Some times MS Paint can do amazing things. ;)
