some cool desktop pix since I last visited!! LOCO how you liking Vista?? Been thinking about it buy varnull told me to try the 64 bit version of linux.... sorry the name escapes me for now. You guys/gals keep it up... fun stuff!!! ....gm
I would expect the 64-bit OS would run faster, but then I don't know if Windows works the same way as Linux.
That's what I figured, also considering it would be an XP installation, it would run faster than Vista ever could...
No, do NOT get XP 64-bit, it's nowhere near as compatible as 64-bit Vista. For drivers and programs, it's practically useless.
I'm only running 2 gigs of RAM right now and can't really see a difference. I suspect when I add a few gigs I may see the benefits.
well i think i'll stick with xp 32bit then... as i can't stand how vista takes up the harddrive... My current desktop on Vista (bit cluttered and unorganized, but i'm switching back to xp once i finish the nLite intergration) http://i.my.afterdawn.com/original/18139.jpg
New XP install on my laptop. Transparent taskbar, new icons, and that's about it. http://i.my.afterdawn.com/original/18189.JPG
I hate desktop icons, and i hate the 'start/programs' bar almost as much (but only because it balloons out of control). What i do is create a folder in the quick launch bar and put all the icons in there. So to run things i just click on quick launch icon, run the relevant program then close the quick launch folder. As Gordon Ramseys says, 'Done'.
Gordon Ramsey also says a lot of other things. Rude things.. Kind of like you creaky, I have a shortcut folder called 'games' since that's what most of my icons are.
WTF... LOL... It is much better than that VISTA crap.... It even runs XP! I have a Mac for my Video Editing!
