ATI HD 3800 Review Thread

[Leeghoofd]

Vista is the best Windows OS I have owned. And it´s fast. You shouldn´t base your opinion in others opinion, even if they are important reviewers. They are just for reference. Try it, tweak it, if you like it, good for you, if not, remove it. If tons of folks have removed it, maybe they don´t know how to tweak it properly, or maybe... do you remember XP in the beginning?

If I tweak Vista the way I want it to be responsive on my system I will be left over with a slightly more visual XP... sorry but even with tweaks Vista isn't as responsive as XP for the stuff I do (and that's not alone gaming). Ofcourse we are comparing running an old OS on a new rig vs a new OS on a new rig... For me though Vista pushes too hard on HD and reducing overal response in that way... sorry but most of my clients only have 2 gigs wich to me seems the very bare minimum to run this visual enhanced OS...

And do we need all that mumbo jumbo ? if Win98 was still running all my games and hardware stable I would have stick to that anyway... XP and XP64 have been very good to me from day one... I've installed different versions of Vista and too me it's too rough on the hardware, out of the box this is.... and Blimey 12Gb install, bit over the top to me compared to 4 gigs for a decent XP install....install SP1 and you will need even more pffffff...

I'm eagerly awaiting SP3 for XP and will slipstream that one onto the install cd...
