  1. I've an old HP Vectra 420VL, once a "small form factory" machine, but of which all except the CPU and CPU cooler is not replaced) with a P4 of 1.6 GHz, 1 GB RAM and a 64-bit RadeonHD 3650 (AGP). It works well - except for Flash, version 11.8. Sound is fine, but the video. Goes. So. Slow. I see the Firefox/Palemoon executable and plugin-container.exe both hovering around 50% I tried upgrading the 64-bit Radeon, but the two (non-64 bit) videoards that I have make the PC beep like there's not tomorrow (anyone knows why? BIOS too old?) As I see it, Flash is rubbish. It is the only thing that goes slow on this old machine.
  2. Greetings everyone. I am new here. Saw the thread title and I wanted to add my comment. I have 3 machines with Vista on them: my (1st gen.) Core i5-based "gaming PC", my (2nd gen) Core i5-based "multi-purpose" PC and a Samsung R519 laptop (which I bought because it was the cheapest one I saw). They all run fine. What's the fuss about Vista? (And what was the fuss about Windows ME (compared to 98), back in the days?) I installed Win 7 on a relative's PC a few months ago (alongside Linux Mint), and there are many things in Win 7 that I find less user-friendly than in Vista. I hope to keep these 2 PC's (the battery's laptop is starting to fail) for many years to come, and when they give in, it will be Linux all the way. I've an old single-core P4-based PC that's still running XP. Windows XP, best version ever. It will be deeply missed, when it's gone.
