Thinking of getting a new Notebook with vista preloaded.
The problem is, no matter wad brand, Sony, HP, Compaq, Toshiba or bla bla i try so far, they run damn slow on preloaded Vista even the spec is C2C 1.66Ghz with 1Gb ram. The windows boot up and shut down is slow like snail even my p4 HT with XP can beat it kau kau one.. So actually wad wrong with those notebook preloaded Vista? |

Hmm, my Asus boot up anytime faster than XP but shut down much slower than XP. Other than that i dun find anything slow. Btw, i am using C2D 1.66GHZ with 1GB DDR2 only..The problem is, no matter wad brand, Sony, HP, Compaq, Toshiba or bla bla i try so far, they run damn slow on preloaded Vista even the spec is C2C 1.66Ghz with 1Gb ram.

Windows ReadyBoost is a great technology, caching things on USB drives to improve system performance, but Windows Vista insists on checking the drives for certain speed requirements before enabling the feature. If you have a USB drive that is just a hair to slow to beat the test, or you want to use an external hard drive (slower speed, loads of cache space), Matt Rajca posts at Channel 9 how you can force Vista to let you use ReadyBoost on an unsupported device, whether it wants to or not: 1. Plug in the device. 2. Open the Readyboost tab on the device properties. 3. Select "Do not retest this device" 4. Unplug the device 5. Open regedit (start->run->regedit) 6. Expand - HKLM (Local Machine)->SOFTWARE->Microsoft->Windows NT->CurrentVersion->EMDgmt 7. Find your device. (decimal not hexadecimal) 8. Change Device Status to 2 9. Change ReadSpeedKBs to 1000 10. Change WriteSpeedKBs to 1000 11. Plug in the device. 12. Enable Readyboost!!!! Added on April 10, 2007, 2:10 pmcredit me or that Matt fella..or else..ur readyboost will destroy ur house!! lol note: only 1 device at a time...

hmm..mayb can make it higher gua..i think the main thing is the device status..
the speed should not be a factor..coz current hardware is memang not fast enough?? but a slight boost better than no boost ma.. perhaps only the registry key for device status thats stopping drives from being used.. btw..only one cache can be used at 1 time.. i set my ext usb 2.0 drive to 2gb..lolz i try setting at 10000..still working..hehe This post has been edited by wewa25: Apr 10 2007, 02:23 PM |

Yup... You have the 64 bit processor, but it still can run 32-bit OS.
32-bit Processor = Only can support x86 OS 64-bit Processor = Can support both x86 and x64 OS BUT, if you install 64bit version, u might facing many problems because it is still not compatible with many drivers and softwares.. even in Win Xp |
