Actually, the PS3 only has 256Mb GPU RAM. That’s the same as in my netbook which can’t even run Half-Life 2 smooth! It’s going to be too bad for the newest, RAM eating games. Either an upgraded PS3 will be sold, or they have to make a new one. PC’s can be upgraded easily, but it costs..

yeah, agree

you cant even buy vista anymore,
its all replaced by that 5-percent-better-but-looks-like-medusa-os of an win7.
it feels like roberry , and you are persuated to buy win 7.
whenever you like it or not.

and of all the gaming charts:what is the difference between 160 fps or 130?
its still flawless. so why upgrade?
you better can buy new hardware than a new os.

i’m using vista ultimate sp2 64 bit currently. its a pretty good OS really. I’m a computer engineer by trade and have used many computers over the last 25 years of my computing history. for fun I’m into games, audio production, web design, some video editing. really, i’ve always thought every single OS i’ve ever used has been pretty good. most people are not patient and quick to regurgitate what they’ve read. win 3.1, 95, 98, 98se, 2000, xp, vista, mac OS 9, OS 10, linux, really, they are all gems for their time. i never used windows ME but i udnerstand that really was a pos.

Windows 7 is much more focused with the goal of being more compatible with hardware and it applications. Much more features is included on windows 7 such as direct access, advances in touch and handwriting recognition.

Man that’s slow.
I run 4 quads on hyper thread 18 GB DDR3 on 10 20K drives on a RAID 6 array.

I agree with the James above. Vista or Win 7 is better suited for an I7

If you really are running XP on a Core i7, you are wasting your system’s potential. MS made huge improvements to SMP performance going from XP to Vista, then did the same going from Vista to 7. If you have a system with more than 2 threads (yours has 8) then XP won’t make full use of them.

I think that anyone that turly believes that Windows XP is a ‘useless, outdated piece of crap’ is a complete and utter moron.
I quite happily run XP on my Intel I7 920, got 6GB Corsair RAM (1033MHZ), with my nice shiny new 2gb nvidia.
Just because Vista and 7 are shinyer and better looking, doesn’t mean they are better, either performance wise or any other.
If you are smart enough, you can XP to do anything you want it to, hell, i even run back to 98 sometimes for certain debugging issues.
I didn’t like Vista, but i am getting it soon and upgrading, for the simple fact that i don’t particularly wat to be running XP all my life… I want M$ to come out with an OS that WE want, not what stupid computer-illiterate end-users want. I’d like an OS that runs faster, doesn’t look flash (because looking flash = less performance), handles my apps and games faster and smoother, and also gives us the freedom to upgrade and customize it FULLY, how we need or want it.
Personally, as a video editor, i’m thinking of switching to Mac OS soon, because it handles the few games for it exceptionally well, and its very good with media.
Unlike Vista and 7.
That’s just my opinion.

This is true. I do have windows 7 running on 3 dual core pc’s. An athlon, an i5, and a some other slow intel cpu. And it runs very well.
