Hi All
I've had Vista now for just under a month and have to say that the performance of Microsoft's new OS leaves alot to be desired.
My PC isnt slow, well it wasnt under XP.
I've uprgaded several of my apps to make them Vista compatible but the whole OS just seems sluggish allround.
My PC with Vista installed has a 3.6Ghz P4 HT with 3gb RAM, my laptop with XP is a 1.5 ghz Centrino with 1.2gb RAM and it trounces my PC.
I've been in the PC support arena for many years and have dabbled with PC's for as long as I can remember so know little about them so Vista has been like a slap in the face in the way it does its thing....but wow is it slow.....
It seems to show symptoms of incorrect drivers that are being used (or at least inefficient driver) despite the device manager not showing anything wrong. I suspect that the drivers including the drivers perhaps for the chipset could do with updating.
I cant beleive that Vista is this slow overall.
What experiences have you got so far for Vista ? is it awaiting a service pakc do you think ?
Have you guys n gals had to update all of your drivers to get it working at a good speed or has Microsoft made this OS so clumbsy that you need the latest quad CPU's just to get it through the day??
What do you all think ?
Interested
