QUOTE(edministrator @ Oct 3 2008, 09:46 AM) fylon, saw a guy selling 4x2gb DDR2 667 in garage sales for RM300 only! erm, no need 2 patch the TCP/IP connections, i m sure u can torrent fine without patching. Added on October 3, 2008, 9:49 ambingooo.... my last installation of a tweaked vista gave me 60fps in CSS benchmark compared to 100fps in xp, same rig, same driver revision. not only benchmarks, but does impact in-game performance. Guess vista is not designed for s478

QUOTE(fylon @ Oct 3 2008, 09:51 AM) edmin, Hah.. Yea.. Saw that thread but ain't sure it is DIMM or SODIMM couse the pitca dont really clear.  Owh? Really?  But no time to format pc as rushing for assignment. Maybe wait i go my summer break than have a try on vista.  confirm is DIMM  even though i dun have a DDR2 rig, i feel like sapu the RAMs already! yes, no need patch, torrent works fine.

I like... This post has been edited by edministrator: Oct 3 2008, 10:01 AM

@ac_N1 Maybe a trimp down version of vista will work fine for S478. Where lotsa unwanted thingy been killed and took away. @Edmin LOL!! Sapu all and put at drawer wait until u move to Quad then use it?  Im having 3GB now, is enough for my task. And somemore, my mobo slot is full. x Unless i on my mind for 6GB.  2*2GB + 2*1GB!!

Well.. IMHO if without gaming, vista is a good way to go. Atleast feel refresh with the new aero interface.

QUOTE(edministrator @ Oct 3 2008, 09:39 AM) fylon u know me very well, ya? lol.. actually for a 2GB ram rig, Vista on day to day usage would be no problem at all, sure smooth. my main concern in 3D applications performance. Added on October 3, 2008, 9:42 ami think u mean vista home basic edition? well. in my experience, the interface feels slower without aero 3D   without aero 3d = slower... then with aero 3d = slowest » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « then use win98 only la  fast and for works only

I'll do a new test and report back 2 u guys soon when I have the time. Hopefully nvidia's latest vista drivers improved... some basic info of my rig: P4 3.0GHz HT, P4P800, 2GB DDR400, Nvidia 7600GT 256MB, Xfi Extrememusic.

Haha.. Whats the point of w98 and w95 man? Where u gain speedy OS but u can do nothing with it.  Recently game / apps are not supported. Anyhow, it is just unoptimized driver for old sch cards like edmin mentioned in previous. So far those new card 8/9 series are doing quite well in gaming with vista. Eve now, benchies in made on vista machine already.

Oh man,why go for Win 95 or Win 98 ? Not user friendly in terms of drivers and memory allocation is lausy for both OS.
