Computer Thread: Vista, Anyone?
My dad's new Sony Vaio has Windas Vista.....
It looks very MAC-ish, but it's still pretty sleek. The programs operate a but wierd though.... Is it Windows or Windas? I can't seem to remember....

Vista isn't that good for nVIDIA SLI users... But not many people are that much of a gamer/power user, so for the average Joe, it'll be fine. Microshaft released Vista BEFORE they even finished developing the porting for nVIDIA users. Just make sure you have adecquate RAM if you're going to run it on your regular system. For me, WinXP and Ubuntu linux are more preffered.
Those who complain about Vista being lousy (may be your computer geek friend at school) are just jealous because their computer sucks b@lls and can't handle Vista

EHH It's just a rip of the Mac OS.
I'm goin to wait at least 6 months to 1 year until all the bugs and what not are taken care of before upgrading. My computer is like 1 year old but it is more than adequate to run Vista.

As lilskipro587, I am also Vista ready. But I choose to wait until the bugs are fixed up, since I plan on taking advantage of nVIDIA's SLI system later on. lilskipro587 - Nice front panel! Anyways, here's a pic that's more present. You can see the cable sleeving that I did inside the case... It was bloody frustrating and very time consuming!

CPU mobo video card PSU (power supply unit) hard drive optical drive floppy (just in case )chassis (formal name for 'case') and then the regular pheriperals (mouse, keyboard, monitor). BlackSky909 - dualscreening because its very efficient, especially if you're looking at one monitor for text and typing up stuff from it in the other monitor. The larger desktop space makes it very convenient

I love my mocbook pro. I also run XP on it too, it works out nicely because some programs and websites that I write I need to test on both.
as for my PC, well I'm sticking with xp til they stop making drivers for it, mostly because I don't want to pay $100 plus to upgrade.
