I just bought the retail pack of Ultimate... there is actually 2 DVD inside. One 32-bit and the other 64-bit.

It also turns off when you maxmize any windows. |

Nope... I can use both 32 and 64 bit on my machine (i.e. legally - checked with the Microsoft Call Center). As for Autocad, never tried but last i heard... it does not work

When you open DS, your CPU usage shoots up but when you max a window, your CPU usage will go back down.This post has been edited by KingdomChaser: May 30 2007, 01:29 AM |

WINDOWS VISTA GADGETS - do you know there are loads of really cool gadgets for Vista... I'm not referring to the defaults cause those suck. Go to Vista Gadget page to download them.
To list a few fun ones: Vodoo Doll, Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Garfield, Jewel, etc. |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ May 31 2007, 12:29 PM) Those are not close to being cool. 3rd party Gadgets that are not realeased on the live galleries are the best Linkin... where can i get to this Desktop Customization section? I've tried searching through the Software section but gave up.There is already a thread on the Desktop Customisation section. |

QUOTE(Phoenixwunin @ Jun 1 2007, 06:28 PM) em.. did DreamScene really pause while gaming?? Again... it really depends on your rig config. However, looking at your rig config, it seems OK. Maybe increasing your ram to 2 GB would help increase your performance by leaps and bounds > while you're at it, why not even try 4 GB I try and notice that when DreamScene is set as my wallie... my CnC3 has a very noticeable lag...   |

QUOTE(samurai1337 @ Jun 3 2007, 06:30 PM) v7.8.5.0 or later should support Vista The referred file has been taken down lar... any other options (aside from buying the ultimately expensive version) - of course if it's not legal, dun tell me. I'm using the same PC for work.Anyway, managed to *make* my Windows Vista Home Premium to support dreamscene, don't ask me how, go google  Nothing really special other than slowing down the startup and consuming more resource. It is cool, but whether or not it is worth the price, you take the call   Added on June 6, 2007, 7:05 pm QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Jun 6 2007, 07:50 PM) Hey CKC_1, Windows Vista does support up to 4GB and above on the 64-Bit one. But I think you are using the 32-Bit version of Vista. Therefore, Vista is reading it as only 3.5GB which is the maximum Vista 32-Bit supports (correct me if I am wrong). As per my experience using Vista ever since it launched, shadow copies don't ussually take up so much space - UNLESS... he has Office Outlook and for whatever reason, backed up his .pst files - which could rack up to multiple GB. Added on June 6, 2007, 6:59 pmHey ongoky, I don't think he has a previous version of Windows or any other OS installed because he said that he managed to save 30GB. So it means that it was the shadow copies. And I thought you can change the percentage of HDD space a shadow copy consumes. How do you go about changing the % of HDD for shadow copy? I just turned mine off. This post has been edited by KingdomChaser: Jun 6 2007, 07:05 PM |

Well... depends on your need. If you are using aps that require high graphic rendering, then by all means, get a 8800. Also... 1GB is good but I just came back from Low Yat... 1 GB ram is just RM 115! So might was well get 2GB.

QUOTE(Suk @ Jun 15 2007, 10:09 AM) vista Home Pre or Ultimate better ? It really depends on what you want - you want for both connectivity with domain server, advance backup and recovery tools, home entertainment features, and the in-famous Dream Scene - then go Ultimate. |
