Have you tried XP x64? I have both on my CoreDuo machine, and I believe the x64 is blazingly faster than XP x86.


Thats like saying a canoe is faster than a raft.

This thread is hilarious because it demonstrates just how bad windoze really is.  

"Install this, install that. Disable this, enable that. Fix this, fix that. Run this, run that..."


All to make a PC do what every Amiga does right out of the box; run well.

@ -D-


What you say about building a "Power Amiga" is true.  It can be a real pain, and is at times very frustrating.  The difference is that once you have the "Power Amiga" built it tends to stay that way.  Mine has been stable and relatively trouble-free for years, requiring very little in the way of maintenance.  Windoze is the very definition of high-maintenance, as this thread indicates.

XP "Stable and Efficient"??  


Stable is a relative term.  The Queen Mary is also stable.  But to suggest that XP (or the Queen Mary) is 'efficient' is a perversion of the language.  I'm trying to think of something (anything) more inefficient than XP..  The only thing that comes to mind is... Vista.

Look I am just going to say it to you folks, keeping windows up and running nicely isn't that hard, whether it's XP or Vista.. Many people do it, that's why it's in so much use (not because the company has a monopoly). People don't use bad products. period. They disappear fast from the market.



:roflmao:  :roflmao: Here I thought Reaganomics was dead.  :roflmao:

If Windows isn't a Monopoly, what is?

@Loadwb

You kind of lost me there too.  You said a lot but didn't really say anything?  :/
