NVidia and Vista(An annoyed vanity)

I really like Vista, it is very nice looking and has some neat gadgets and some appreciated security upgrades. However the once steady videocard company, renowned for its quality drivers, has really laid an egg with Vista.Because of nVidias inability to properly put forth quality drivers I am left with turning all of the eyecandy down on my system, not playing games and instead of letting my PC whisk gently off to sleep I have to shut it down anytime I am going to be away for such a period that the screensaver may be needed or sleep or hibernation modes are too be required, which sucks I like to just sit down and move my mouse and wa la my computer comes back on, or worst just push the power button and it instantly resumes. Not anymore I have boot from cold and wait the long loading time for it to boot, because Vistas load time is not as quick as XP's. Meh I shouldnt complain its a free computer and it sure as heck beats a Mac.

Mine is only 3 because I'm using the GeForce 6150 onboard video... The Index uses the "lowest score" to calculate it

here is mine

128MB of system ram is being used by the onboard video card card(and 2MB is being used because i have my BIOS cached), also the hard drive performance is slower then it should be because I have the partition set to a small size, I will fix that on the next install...

i could resize my pritition right now by rigt clicking "computer" and choosing "Manage" then "Disk Management" but, it's doing just fine how I have it setup... no complaints over here. ;) It's an older SATA I drive. (I will be upgrading it when or before I get my video card)

I say keep it tell it dies. THe way storage needs are changing, the more space the merrier.

oh, I will keep it for an extra storage drive... But I've have had my eye on this for awhile..

THose drives are great. Quieter, quicker, cooler and thinner then the other drive technology. Its in my XP system.

yep, that 320GB Seagate looks like the perfect compromise right now price/performance/noise/heat etc.
