Where's your Win 7?

[Sieg]

Don't have it yet?

Too bad, you're missing out.

 

[Dekar289]

i've had it for about a month now
not good for games

 

[Zero]

Running RC 7100, got no money for the retail.

Until the 5th of Nov :D

 

[Sieg]

Yeah, I meant the retail.

Not some ****ty RC you downloaded. Lol.

 

[Dekar289]

i downloaded the OEM version a month ago, updates work fine and everything
but good for youuuu! =p

 

[Sieg]

So did you actually pay for it though?

Or are you just a pirating ******.

 

[l3oOkeR]

i made the mistake of going to vista to early. i dont plan on going to 7 for a LONG time yet

 

[Dekar289]

i see it as knowing the capabilities of the internet

 

[Siyro]

Pfft, the only way I'm gunna go to Windows 7 is if my new computer will have it installed, otherwise it's not worth the hassle of changing over, haha

 

[xXArrowXx]

one time i went to the casino and got 777 it wasn't much of a win tho.. only 5 $ =,=

still on xp...ftw/ftl :S

 

[l3oOkeR]

xp is still probably the best windows operating system

I don't think you all understand just how good Win 7 is compared to Vista and XP.

Have fun with your Outdated and **** OS's.

 

[Dekar289]

it's not that good
if you have vista, get it, it craps all over vista
but if you have xp, no fuss

 

[luke_atyeo]

everything craps all over vista

 

[Sieg]

XP is so old.

****ing get with the times.

7 ****s over XP.

 

[xXArrowXx]

say asta la vista baby
and get win 7 or xp lololol

xp is so fail at times tho T_T but if win 7 is anything like vista it could be a massive fail bomb. atleast its not a mac XP

 

[Dekar289]

xp still has way better compatibility than 7
give 7 a year or so to iron out fail imo

 

[Sieg]

Jesus.

I don't even want to bother anymore.

You obviously know nothing.

 

[EverAlert]

[00:51:20] <+_Sieg> I'm a professional troll

Hey soog, how about actually telling them why it's better, rather than just repeating the statement that it is?

 

[Sieg]

Because they should know by now.

The first ****ing reason is because XP can still only hold a maximum 2 gig of RAM. That's ****ing ****house in today's computer market.

 

[luke_atyeo]

but windows xp has an emoticon in front of it

 

[xXArrowXx]

when it gets a OS tan or whateva they call it. ill consider it =P
but yeah time to iron out..
plus i just got 2 gig ram... wont upgrade for ages T_T

this was amazing. end of discussion.

 

[luke_atyeo]

agreed, that was the lols.

 

[l3oOkeR]

Yeah the Ram thing is a good point. But for most people 2gig is all you need. Most people here are console gamers so PC is for the nets and some ****in around on games liek WOW/Cs 1.6/CSS/TF2/L4D pretty much anything that will run perfect on xp and 2gig of ram. But yeah 7 is still pretty new. im gonna give it 6months - a year before i upgrade. Wait until everything i have is compatible and im not ****ed around like with Vista

 

[Sieg]

I'll admit Vista was sit when it first came out.

But man, you're really missing out on this extra speed.

2gig RAM... I guess.

If you're into that slow stuff.

You've gotta remember that 7 uses equal to if not less the resources of XP anyway. It's a win-win.

[Dekar289]

k sieg, you have fun with your super fast documents and charts

the rest of us will, ya know, play pc games

 

[Sieg]

Sorry.

I couldn't hear you over my 3.2GHz Quad Core with my 4gig DDR3 running exactly 26 versions of TF2.

Did you want to play some computer games?

I can play twelve at a time if you want.

 

[xXArrowXx]

sorry couldnt hear you over my not caring.

consoles are better for gaming anyway, unless we're talking about FPS's and RTS's or course, which makes up basically every good pc game anyway.

 

[xXArrowXx]

pc good for emulators and Pron do not forget lol

pc racing games kick the **** out of any console one =P

 

[Dekar289]

sieg if you ran it on xp you could run even more copies of tf2, so your argument fails

 

[Alzi]

XP = Melee
Vista = Brawl
Windows 7 = *WE MUST WAIT*

Oh my it all makes sense now. That the next smash bros will definatley be better then melee and brawl.

 

[Atticus]

lol.

The RAM limitation is a limit of using any 32-bit OS, not a matter of which version of Windows you're using. You could argue it's a limitation of XP since 64-bit XP was a joke, but 32-bit W7 will have the same issue. It's a memory addressing thing (2^32 (4 GB) - addresses reserved for kernel **** = amount of usable RAM). I think Vista/W7 will recognize that the RAM is there, but that doesn't mean it can address it. 4 GB is a hard limit for 32-bit architecture with the exception of using some hacky ****.

More importantly, having more RAM isn't going to make your **** run faster unless you're actually using it all. XP can actually use ~3.3 GB, just no more than 2 GB per app. I'm running 4 GB RAM on 32-bit XP, but I've never come close to using as much as I have available anyway.

Sure, I'd use 64-bit W7 for a new box, but I'm yet to see any real reason to upgrade from my current XP install. Having GUI gimmicks, more RAM availability I'll never use and being on par with XP's performance isn't good enough to bother upgrading - it needs to perform BETTER than XP.

 

[Dekar289]

mm that's the thing, it's not even AS GOOD as xp in terms of performance at the moment

 

[xXArrowXx]

but i wanna play crisis... =P

zomg need more tf2... then instead of irc we can hang out in tf2 and just idol all day =D

 

[Dekar289]

wtf? a better OS doesn't mean you can play crisis
get a good video card
