im currently building a 64bit windows vista system i poped the processor into my old comp over clocked to 4ghz i almost fell over so ye 64bit-the way to go currently on 32 bc of an older processor intel pentium m 1.8ghz new amd64 stock speed is 3.2ghz
i had the same problem used to download at 700kb/s steady dropped to a lowsy 100kb/s so i upgrade to vista finally i download at an amazing 800kb/s steady now so id just say upgrade
its vistas new feature there is a way to set your account as FULL OWNERSHIP rights but i forget how but they say its more risky thts way an admin account in vista is like a standard account in xp just google make vista admin account act like xp admin account
i just installed linux i can do clean install it doesnt matter because i had everything backed up on a 500gb external hd so i can install vista clean it will install of linux right?
I ran vize right after my computer was finished im currently running of a bootable linux cd, i dont have my vista cd bc its at a friends house so can some zip there system32 files and allow me to use them so i can get back online like normal please
u have to disable the windows firewall but just to let u know vista doesnt need a firewall the built in one is just as good as zone alarm just no reports so just stay up-to-date and ull be fine
