Now I got a quite cheap, but much a better video card than before - nVidia GeForce 6200 With 256 MB DDR and fully DirectX 9.0 compatible (unlike my old 4200)
I also got a extra 512 MB of RAM, and the performance change is noticeable, a little. So now I have 1.5 GB of ram which is between the minimum (1GB) and perfect (2 GB) Even though they wre supposed to put it in a extra slot, that way i could have 2 GB, but it's not really such a big difference anyway.
Aero is really sweet in my opinion, and not slow at all, in fact it runs no slower than basic, so I think I will be using it all the time. The full vista ultimate experience is much much better with aero! Not to mention that I'll get enhanced graphics in games, will be able to run movie maker etc. I'm going to switch to vista as the full time OS now, maybe do some customization later.
I won't abandon XP completely though, I might make some changes to Aero Ultimate, since I got the real deal now.
I also recommend everyone who is still on XP to try vista, it's JUST AWESOME!
My score got up to 3.2 after I installed all correct drivers accelerators for the card. (full use of TurboCache) And that's a medium 19-20" LCD display (actually 19.5")
Nice, but this isn't the latest version of Windows Vista is it (i.e. Service Pack 1)???
If you are going to reinstall the pirated version, I recommend installing Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 and use an activator instead of a timer-lock. I would have told you where to find the activation crack but its against the rules on this site, but I can still email you the link if you want.
By the way, which processor have you got, and how much did your 3d card cost you (in dollars, please)...
SP1 causes ome problems with activation, and take forever to install so i don't bother, but you can send a link by email anyway.
My processor is AMD Athlon 2400+, it scores lower than usual coz i installed vista in a slow drive... The card was like 40 bucks, and I'm quite happy with it
One thing, your Vista doesn't give you more than 3,3 in processor? My intel celeron M 520 gives me 3,8 (it has 1,6 Ghz), and my ram 4,4 and my HDD 5,2, and your hardware is better than mine
4gb and a q6600 @ 2.4 ghz is perfect
6 GB and Core i7 is perfect.
All notebooks come with 4GB now
i have an 3.7 score of wei
and with 512mb video card memory
And that's a medium 19-20" LCD display (actually 19.5")
is it works (genuine)
