In what way, performance or the way things work?




Cool, as I was going to ask.

Also there's an iPaq hx2795 thrown in there too. lol

Vista just seems really dull to me...that's probably only because I've turned into a Mac lover...

Here are the pics of MY workstation. (Sorry it's such a mess)
The printers and other PCs are spread out around the house...

BTW, the Alien PC is for sale: http://spyderworks.net/Photos.html

I had 3 of those monitors on my desk before, oh it's a might strong desk to hold 3 19" flat CRT's and a full grown male human.

It is dull, nothing works on it, well very poorly. Vista is really bad compared to XP, sound drivers are bogus, (No 5.1, No 6.1, No Hardware sound Acceleration, No DVD audio, No THX, No DirectSound-based EAX games, No CMSS, No Decoding of Dolby Digital and DTS signals, No Gameports | not that I use that, and SPDIF passthrough is supported on Vista 32-bit only). This is from Creative by the way, and Alchemy only works for X-FI cards, no Audigy cards yet :/
Oh yes what does work?? 2.1 Stereo is all they support, go them, woooo!

Yes yes I know its MS's fault but together they make the best crappy combination ever!

Wow factor they said, according to their great marketing? best experience in sound clarity and vision? heh, I think its the sh*t hut the fan experience. :)

Also lots of backward compatibility has went right down the sh****r.

All thats good about Vista is the purdy UI, nothing more.

In some way I'm wishing I never bought mine, lots of things are just crippled. Driver support really is abysmal. It is getting better but still abysmal.

So many complaints from people on drivers it is shocking and application compatibility! How do you solve it? buy new software that is Vista ready oh yes!


I built a AMD X2 4600+ just after the new year. Now I feel olded after you're saying its for sale. :)

Friggin sweet setup mon !!
 
I haven't posted my setup in quite a while. I've updated it quite a bit since I last posted it. The keyboard I'm using right now is going to be chucked in a dumpster as soon as I find time to go down to Frys or Best Buy and buy a nice laptop style desktop keyboard so I can finally type fast again. (Basically all the keys are sticky on this keyboard and hard to press)

Nice monitor.

A great way to fix the stickiness is to shove that keyboard in your dishwasher, run it, then take it out, turn it upside down on a towel, and let it dry out for a few hours, then shake and use a hair dryer to finish. Boom, works like brand new.

Thanks, I really like it too. I'd highly recommend it.

I would try that, but considering my parents don't trust me with any of their stuff, I highly doubt that they'd let me do that :(. Otherwise I would try it, I'd actually try almost anything to get this keyboard to get the keyboard unstuck, it's quite annoying to type on.
 
Old setup was a mac min with a 1.5 ghz core solo, 512mb ram, 60 gb hard drive. Gave it to my brother when I got my new setup...


2.16 GHz, 2GB, 120GB
