i was upset over vista cos i felt my new comp was slower than my 8 yr old machine with xp which had only 384mb ram and 1.6GHz!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The pain is that one is Vista and the other is Mandriva ONE... The other system is a lot slower than this one too... it's a P3 @ 450 with 512MB Sdram....

Not exactly - My wife has a DELL, my Company bought the Acer from the VP of the company as we needed a computer 'right the heck now' cause my desktop crashed and burned (literally - there are smolder marks under the cpu)

sorry to hear the burn - yes, U had said the wife has a dell and U thought U mite get one - Yes then expedience required one of some kind to keep online _

I can tell you now - I will NEVER purposefully buy an Acer - don't get me wrong it's a fast lappy - but its verge of overheat even with a Thermaltake 120mm fan lappy cooler under it..

that don't sound too good - kinda poor really -
_thanks i'll keep that in mind, not that i had thought 2 get one_``~...

_i don't think i would neither ``~...

No, this is not my 'chosen' brand. Which would be Dell - my wife's just works, even running Vista its still working.
Though my actual chosen brand would be AlienWare - amazing, though overpriced, laptops...

yeh, the dell is on your preferred
list - BUT you would like alienware
_i looked at alienware then i saw on dell "precision workstation" & started looking at them - and i really think i should B in workstations -
_and on a CGI note have U saw this=>

My goal is to have a Blade Server Rack (filled with erm Blade Servers) for my 'render farm' and to be running it all from a $10K AlienWare laptop
I need to keep up more with those articles.... just haven't had the time...

alright then sounds cool
__ Yeah the rendering-farming __ -"go read" that article in has to do with such things - it said something about april release - where as one can have render farm ability on average desktops - so that would be for work not just interest or fun - thanks``~...

I can build a render farm with a program that already exist (think it's called Farmer John of all things)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
_NO, that ain't it_ that article will only take minutes to read So read it - it's using one computer &
getting render -farm results ``~...

With Blender it uses 100% of available processor(s) - I know there is no way to get better results without having multiple computers.

Have fun with the widgets! I watched my husband play around with the widgets that Windows7 has. Same stuff. (He was beta testing it).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I won't even mess with Windows7 till I have a system for just '
The widgets here are mostly 'Vista' widgets - except the system monitor - which is 'an approved for Vista Widget' ...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, they're the same widgets that are included in Windows 7. They look cool.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They are the same gadgets because Windows7 still uses a lot of Vista SP1 stuff
