I have Vista x64 without any issue on a home built machine. I don't play many games but css and c&c work perfectly. As mentioned earlier drivers will be your biggest issue but if you stick to big name hardware for your periferals, at least for your graphics card (i.e. nVidia) I can't imagine you'd have many issues.

The Sultan Of Smut 11-25-2008 02:15 AM
Oh I just though of this, if your motherboard is cheap then all the components may not be up to snuff though that doesn't seem to an issue with the problem you described. I'm just rambling...

don't be lazy. Go to Fry's, get a badass processor, the latest motherboard, spend on your gfx card and go crazy with ram then slap it all together. I run Vista, WoW, Red Alert and a ton of other stuff like it's nothing. I dual monitor WoW and work all the time.

After comparing desktop systems for a few weeks I decided to go with this computer here. I was ecstatic when I first got it. I was upgrading from a Frankenstein to a decent system for the first time in a couple years.

This system has Windows Vista Premium (64-bit) installed on it. I've used Vista before and didn't see any probs, but as soon as I started installing games and other applications, I realize what I was in for. I am now getting super slow browser loading times and flashes on the screen every now and then.

I am sure that one of the programs I installed, that installed ActiveX and Framework, messed things up. I've since tried to get the lates drivers for my graphics card, atc, but no help.

I may just install Windows XP on this system, or just return it. What do you guys recommend I do?

:mad:
Your fault for going with gateway

I run a desktop with a simple core 2 duo with vista 64 and it runs fine.

It amazes me when it comes to desktops why people waste there money on company built desktops that come with OEM Windows and a bunch of preloaded crap.

BUILD YOUR OWN DESKTOP, and buy the real version of windows, not some OEM POS.

32 bit vista is running well on my computer, plenty of games and big apps loaded on my computer and loading up fine!

Emil 11-25-2008 04:36 AM
I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 for months, everything works great except a few applications that doesn't work. But they can be run in Virtual PC.

Many people don't know shit when it comes to hardware. I lost track of everything after the Voodoo 2-cards came out. :1orglaugh But I did my research and built myself a pretty good computer.
I think many people also thinks it's hard to build a computer, that's why they buy one that's ready to go.

rowan 11-25-2008 06:26 AM
Hmmm, you realise the Q6600 CPU isn't new? I purchased mine over a year ago, and I think it came out around mid 2007. They're a couple of generations behind, Intel just released a new CPU and socket type.

Iron Fist 11-25-2008 07:32 AM
Go to Windows XP... Vista sucks.

The Duck 11-25-2008 07:37 AM
Go back to 32 bit, it will solve your problems.

Vista Ultimate 32 bit on an 8 core has been fucking bad ass. I hated XP when it came out and got used to it, and now that I got Vista I'd never go back to XP.

That being said, I don't really explore the OS. I just load a few programs, but so far Vista has been much faster for me, and I like the layouts better. I seem to be able to navigate the folder structures better in Vista than I was in XP.

Does anybody know if a system with the same specs except for being a 32-bit and 64-bit encode video faster?

Well it should IF the software you are using to encode supports 64bit. Heck some software doesn't even support multi processors. So the answer is yes, if the software supports it and uses it.

That may be easier said than done ...

A lot of new 64 bit quads are chipped so that they will only run Vista .. :Oh crap

I was thinking of getting Flash CS4 and putting it on a 64 bit Vista, AMD Phenom 9950, 4GB of ram to encode video to FLV.

It currently takes me about 5 minutes to encode a 1 minute video to FLV.

I have a 64 bit HP Quad and its rocket fast.
I love it.

DutchTeenCash 11-26-2008 11:36 AM
xp

vista has too many issues for sure

boneprone 11-26-2008 11:39 AM
Its odd becasue some people have major issues, some not at all.
I wonder what the differences are.

Your first mistake was buying a Gateway.

Slick 11-26-2008 12:22 PM
Hopefully I'll have no problems here on Friday when I build my new system. Every 3 years I build myself a new monster system and this time is no exception :) I got the new Intel Core i7 965 quad core CPU and Vista ultimate 64-bit, so we'll see how that goes.

This is your issue...

same here

I have a quad core with a little more power than urs but i'm telling u to go to XP like now lol.

I spent 6 months using vista until 2 weeks ago when i thought fuck this shit i'm going back to XP and my PC works so nicely now. Everything is fast smooth and I feel like this PC can do some proper damage now!

Turboface 11-28-2008 02:35 PM
Mozilla has a new version of FireFox called Minefield, which is for 64-bit machines. I installed it and it's blindingly fast. However don't plan on installing the Flash plug-in, because it isn't compatable. It's for x86 only. It's amazing that four years after x64 became available Adobe still hasn't managed to release an x64 version!

HomerSimpson 11-28-2008 07:02 PM
just put 32-bit version of Vista, since maybee your drivers or some other software you have installed is not 64 compatible...

Rochard 11-28-2008 07:50 PM
