Before dawn, make your choice - rumsfald - 11-04-2008
Yeah, sorry about the topic. Might be a meme-STD I caught from these boards.
Anyways, building a new system so advise away.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Spore - 11-04-2008
Yeah.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Vandamguy - 11-04-2008
should have voted "sorta"
xp is still my gaming OS of choice , but down the line if you start to come into games that require more than 3 gigs of ram , then it'd be vista64
but if you take that road right now you're not going to be happy with the results

You do realize that is 99 perent probably due to the pirated version you are using and not your OS, right?
Actually, upon Googling it, I found that a few people have your same problem and are met with a bunch of other Vista 64bit users who say it works fine. Who knows?

Well Ive narrowed it down to something to do with sound or video. The things is that it does load,the game loads and all I just cant start a new game. If the crack didnt work I wouldnt get that far.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Blues - 11-04-2008
Absolutely not. Caff's problem and the responses are an excellent example of why. He's got a huge problem, but tons of other people do not, and there is no support on the issue due to so many people going "works for me, must be you who fucked up". This extends to all sorts of shit in Vista as a whole, and while a majority of the time it is user-end, there are still plenty of times where something is just completely screwed for someone who will never get help with it.
Also lol@64bit driver support.
Also TinyXP for gaming pl0x.

Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Versus - 11-05-2008
I like XP Pro x64.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - copulatingduck - 11-05-2008
64bit for a desktop environment is overrated, how many of you actually use more than 3 jiggabytes of RAM anyways?

As in not just this single instance where the support might do something if he had bought the game. Here's a quick example. After installing Vista Ultimate, one of my friends could not view jpg's through a browser. After days of searching the issue, we had found no support, and Microsoft offered none either, because they had no fucking idea. There were a few results with other people who had the same issue, but not many, and the standard response was "reinstall Windows you fucked something up". That's just pathetic. It took 3 reinstalls before the problem disappeared for no reason that could be found. Like I said, if you're on the receiving end of one of these problems, the general response is "works for me, your fault" even when there's a possibility it might not be.
Also, like Duck said, who the hell uses more than 3GB of RAM. TinyXP still has my vote, smaller, faster, and by the time you need 4GB of RAM Windows 7 will be out.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Wedge - 11-05-2008
Pretty much. Do you really want to compound the compatibility issues of Vista with the compatibility issues of a 64-bit OS? It's just asking for problems. Stick with simple 32-bit XP for now, until things are made that run on computers have need of a new 64-bit OS. Right now, there are no such things for user purposes.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - Versus - 11-05-2008
I use a lot of RAM.
Re: Before dawn, make your choice - [fr31ns]Karrde - 11-05-2008
Sorta. Vista 32 seems to have less problems for newer games right now. However, in the next few years, you might be feeling the ram crunch. Depending on when windows 7 is scheduled for release, I'd say get Vista 32, then upgrade the ram and get windows 7 64.

I would call Vista the 'bridge' OS between 32 and a 64 bit, i fully expect the next one they make to be only 64 bit. and everyone that's dragged their heels on updating drivers , software, hardware since XP 64 can go fuck themselves
from my perspective MS has been too lenient in the 32 to 64 bit transition.

And if you do something's wrong or you're encoding like 24/7.
Also, yus, if the 64 bit change was forced, people would step up their game on working on the drivers. At the same time this might be beneficial because having longer means (hopefully) less bugs when it is straight 64bit.
