QUOTE(prasys @ Sep 24 2008, 05:49 PM) I'm just wondering how did the OEM boxes drop. Its weird though. Anyhow , its recommended for you to buy Retail rather then OEM boxes. The difference , well you can't tell. You can activate both of them but I would recommend Retail over OEM at all times , its just to be extra safe. Its still a mystery how they marked OEM Windows Vista (Did it from off from Dell Store ?) It does not have fancy boxes, license is not transferrable, that maybe the reason OEM boxes sales way cheaper. Looks at Visual Studio 2008, they're giving it free at uni/colleges students, and believe me, Microsoft will do anything to get people to use Vista...

QUOTE(astria @ Oct 17 2008, 11:57 PM) pls ask ur friend to get his fact rit... if like wat he say then everytime i format i need to buy a new Vista... by old i presume u mean Vista pre-SP1 (or Vista Gold to be correct)??? u juz need to update to SP1 and that's all... SP1 is nothing big, really, it mainly contains all the hotfixes and patches released by MS since day 1 of Vista... It should be SP0 since SP1 never released on CD anymore... |

QUOTE(astria @ Oct 18 2008, 11:35 PM) juz like XP Gold, Vista Gold is the very original Vista... some ppl prefer to call pre-SP1 or SP0... juz a matter of preference... the term SP0 is the same as Gold or RTM release, the first public final release of Vista. Pre-SP1 usually refer to beta of SP1, that't why ppl call it Pre-SP1... |

QUOTE(twopiece @ Nov 16 2008, 09:46 AM) eh..guys...for windows vista x64 rite...the Program Files seperated into Program Files & Program Files (x86) when the softwares or game installed into Porgram Files x86..is there any problem ? like its not supported by 64bit..or it only run on 32bit.. No it won't pose a problem. If it's 32-bit software and/or game, on 64-bit system, it will use the WOW emulation. Correct me if I'm wrong on this... |

QUOTE(twopiece @ Nov 16 2008, 09:58 AM) WOW emulation is ??? well..coz all the new game like DMC 4..COD4,5 ...Lost planet...all install in x86 de folder...and im having black scrn problem...just thinking it is one of the possiblity tats the cause.. Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WOW64WOW (or known as WOW64) will emulate your 32bit apps/games to run on 64bit system because the instruction/architecture is not same... If there's no WOW64 on your 64bit OS, you won't be able to run 32bit apps/games... |

QUOTE(pearldiver @ Jan 21 2009, 01:20 PM) i have 2 folders that eat up my HD storage..both of them atm ate up 18G of HD space. what files are they? my vista biz comes pre installed with my netbook. SwSetup is probably drivers and Vista setup files from your OEM. Windows folder are big as it is, lots of WinSxS files, .NET files, and large collection of drivers database. |
