@cabbageboy101 I had more problems with XP than vista. First, vista takes advantage of multiple logical processors, therefore a single core atom with hyperthreading performs like a straight-up single core in XP whereas vista takes advantage of the virtual core, aiding in performance. Also xp is guaranteed to get a virus no matter what. Vista is much better for security. Finally, if you run 32 bit in basic theme and disable unnecessary services, it will run much better.
@psychoclown420 yes but there are so many unnecessary processes and "services" that it really prevents the computer from running at it's full potential. and yes, vista is much better for security, but you're much better off just disabling all of the security services and installing free antivirus software (like avast. avast provides real-time shields that scan every single file that you open and program that you run). so on a large scale, if you install that in xp, it would be better than vista
@cabbageboy101 What i'm trying to say is that xp is an ancient obsolete OS with tons of security loopholes and problems. I always had programs Not Responding in xp, but never with vista. Vista used way more ram, but 1gb was enough to get by with aero disabled. And i had the ultimate version installed, home basic or home premium would run a lot better. Microsoft doesn't even support xp, but they still support vista and 7. In the end, just use 7
@quinillo94 The vid was shot way before windows 7 was released. True, Vista too heavy for that machine (seems it's the eepc 900). But the factory OS? If it's that crappy Xandros linux Asus installed on those early eee's... definitely NOT!!! It f****** sucks!!!! Either XP or a SERIOUS linux distro (XANDROS= toy linux).
i have it running on my eee pc perfectly, with no lag and it has better power management than xp. i prefer vista over xp. it's easier to use and makes things easier for you.
You would get so mutch more spending 100 or 200$ more and getting a vostro 1310 e.G. 13,1" is just perfect i mean you can run a dualcore in it and a real 3D card and big amounts of ram and a "real" ssd harddrive if you want. Its worlds between those two i see no real use for those i mean i have a precision notebook and its great to work with it but with sutch a little tiny powerless thing it would be awful and take two times the time.
figured, your a mac fanboy meaning you hate windows/linux and your opinion doesn't matter about them operating systems, i doubt you even knew how to set it up properly, and assumed it sucks because you didn't have the knowledge of how to use it
why should a mac fanboy hate linux OSX is based on a UNIX derivate.
However I'm not i was that but long ago i am a fanboy of sub notebooks thats all and i simply think that a Netbook isn't realy useful. I mean i think its not a productive concept and for what its ment to be used for it's overpriced.
And yes Vista on it is totally useless i would rahter text a beta of Windows 7
your an idiot you clearly don't know what these types of computers are for, they are not for gaming\3d graphics\intensive programs
they are for basic internet use, email, and doing work on them and designed to be affordable
you don't need massive amounts of ram / computer power to do them tasks
Vista is fine if you know how to use it same with any operating system, their is no best, its what you want to use it for and what you like to use as a person
I'm not talking about 3D gaming i'm talking about cad use or photoshop.
A raw-file picture can have 100mb and more how should a machine like that handel sutch files beeing overworked in photoshop i had .psd files with 200-300mb and more it's impossible.
And Vista is simply not designed for sutch a machine it might work ok but shurely not as good as other systems might. I see no singel use of a netbook where you need to have vista tell me please is this doubt so dumb ?
Might be but i just said that i dislike netbooks because they arend powerfull enough for business aplications and that vista was only making that worse that was my point. Thats also the reason why I was takling about subnotebooks.
So I was mentioning Windows 7 witch would give you some lets say "real" advantages compared to XP and would work way faster then Vista even beeing not for retail currently.
maybe i am an exception, i dont know. it would be fine with 2gigs or more of ram. i have 3gigs. 60% free at the moment.
a few weeks ago a guy said that his vista was taking around 13 minutes to fully boot. i had to make a video to prove him mine takes only ~40 secs. anyways, im fine with vista. no complaints about performance.
Vista is a fat pig of an operating system takes 4 times more memory than os x... Takes forever to grab an internet connection... comes in a billion versions (from crippled to junkware loaded)... full vista is $200 more than full os x... Vista is less stable, is more susceptible to viruses (not vistas fault but that is still a problem)... vista was screwy with scanners and faxes when it first came out, pissed me off a lot...
i can use internet right after it boots up. i didnt paid for it and i dont care if its pirated. mine is rock solid and havent got any viruses yet. play games as fine as xp.
the normal people, don't like changes to their computer, so thats why they don't upgrade, how ever most tech enthusiasts upgrade to vista in a heart beat, unless your stupid and blindly become a fanboy of an operating system or company, then you hate anything that's not the operating system or company you like no matter what others say
No... unfortunately society tells people to get the latest (which they assume to be the best)... I was a windows user with xp, but after vista was released, I hated it.... chrashes.... unable to use alot of new hard ware (video cards... SCREEN.... scanner....) and Vista was made prematurly. After that i got my 1st mac, and loved it, it works without any problem, although os x has some issues, they are DEFINETLY much less then vista, and i found os x apps to replace vista apps that i needed.
i can actually get you the exact specs if you wanna
no lag no crappy fps
and its a 1.2 single core cpu with 256mb ram ...standard cheap ass dell notebook built ...to run xp...and surf the net...it cant do anything more than that...with or without xp. but it seems to run vista perfectly with no tweaks
To get the FN-Hotkeys working under Vista and to get rid of the error messages that VGA and/or Audio drivers are not installed please search for the Video How To "EEE 1000H Vista ACPI Fix" :-)
Why on earth do people put (Windows) Vista on those netbooks? Such a waste of ressources! Linux is the far better choice on those machines. Cheap, low hardware requirements, highly configurable, no virus/spyware/etc... It's ok to test if Windows is actually capable of running on those machines, but why would someone want to work with that OS on a netbook? People are strange...
Ohh.... i installed Windows 2000 SP4 on it! And its better than XP and Vista, coz its run now reeealy FAST, and you can install all the programs and games that runs on XP, eee pc got a slow CPU, and win2000 great on it! win2000 just like winXP, but with Classic theme, but really faster
i don't know...maybe he just installed vista for showing us on youtube,it's almost impossible to work on vista installed on EEE,anyway,do you have EEE?i should get my eee tomorrow and i have some questions?
yep,but lowest score is always gaming graphics performance,and 1.0 is minimum score for solitaire and other card games,so vista will work pretty shitty on asus eee,but XP will run great
no, it got a one for low resolution, it would be the same score if xp had a scoring system aswell. but I hate vista, it will work shitty on ANYTHING. lol
of course not,you can run xp on 300 MHz processor,128MB of RAM and 2 GB HDD,and vista on 1GHz,1GB of RAM and 15GB HDD,but if you have good PC,let's say AMD phenom,4GB RAM and 8800GTX,vista will literally fly on that PC
This is real vista, not VTP or other shellpacks, it's obviously shows vista system properties not like in xp system properties...well it could be possible to install vista in EEE but without aero...
Maybe if you were not a dumbshit. We would actually listen to you, ever think that some people DON'T LIKE MACS. Plus why would you think he works for Bill? Because he knows a lot of computer jargon? We'll news flash, maybe if you didn't own a mac you wouldn't be so dumb.
ahaha are you fucking serious?! save money getting a MAC! they cost like several hundred dollars more than a pc with the sane specs, and you can save EVEN MORE money by constructing you on PC! save some money and avoid macs everyone!
"It's running at 630Mhz for some reason." They are factory underclocked and you need to increase the FSB in order to actually run it at the advertised 900Mhz. There are a number of ways to do this depending on the operating system you're running. But since you've chosen Vista, I guess you're up shit creek ;P
even the new high end computers have problems running vista, it seems that the OS was unfinished. Also not alot of us have 2 grand to burn on a new computer.
This is windows vista home premium with aero turned off. Trust me I have xp with VTP and vista ultimate (on separate computers) VTP doesn't have the same about windows screen.
(I know it's home premium cause if you go to the link in the description it has better quality and you can read it)
I don't know about vista.I wanted to wait to get it until it all worked good but one of the guys from the Geek squad at Best Buys told me that Best Buy wouldn't be selling anymore machines with xp on them anymore just Vista. I'm not buying that his info was correct though with so many xp users out there
that one is vista, i've tried all kinds of transformation packs from diff sources.. and they do have round "pearl buttons" (start buttons doesn't exist in vista you moron)my point is never judge a transformation pack from start buttons.
i also can tell that he's running a real vista coz im running one right now.
the only reason why he can run vista on an EEE PC is because he's using a low hardware demand OS which is Vista Home Premium.
it has a "near" Sytem requirements list with windows XP.
Whats the difference between SP1 and without SP1 ive installed the beta SP1 and theres no difference vista is pretty bad and will stay bad. Id say stick to XP not worth the upgrade lol.
I don't know about vista.I wanted to wait to get it until it all worked good but one of the guys from the Geek squad at Best Buys told me that Best Buy wouldn't be selling anymore machines with xp on them anymore just Vista. I'm not buying that his info was correct though with so many xp users out there
Lol, what sound reasoning. And flying in the face of 5:30 contrary video evidence where every other screen shows that it is clearly Vista. Your parents must be proud.
Oh, right... And you can choose whether to have a round start button in Vista. It's an option. So the lack of one is hardly evidence of a non-Vista OS. Good try though. :P
Vista sucks whats the point, I have windows 2000 on my eee pc it runs twice as fast as xp does on it and uses half the space! (1gb), I realy recommend windows 2000 to use on your eee pc! just download the drivers off intels website and your off! XD
what drivers are you using in your internet adapters?

Not yet, I am planning on getting the EEE 900 when it comes out, I am still kind of choosing between the 701 or the 900, edging towards the latter.
webjthefirst 3 years ago
i suggest you to take 701 model because 900 is going to be more than $500

thats based of lowest score
CardMagic12345 3 years ago
yep,but lowest score is always gaming graphics performance,and 1.0 is minimum score for solitaire and other card games,so vista will work pretty shitty on asus eee,but XP will run great
klarinetistaks 3 years ago
no, it got a one for low resolution, it would be the same score if xp had a scoring system aswell. but I hate vista, it will work shitty on ANYTHING. lol
CardMagic12345 3 years ago
of course not,you can run xp on 300 MHz processor,128MB of RAM and 2 GB HDD,and vista on 1GHz,1GB of RAM and 15GB HDD,but if you have good PC,let's say AMD phenom,4GB RAM and 8800GTX,vista will literally fly on that PC

This is real vista, not VTP or other shellpacks, it's obviously shows vista system properties not like in xp system properties...well it could be possible to install vista in EEE but without aero...

This british cocksucker probably works for Bill ,suck my cock,gates. please save your money and either get a MAC or get a free OS like Ubuntu.

Maybe if you were not a dumbshit. We would actually listen to you, ever think that some people DON'T LIKE MACS. Plus why would you think he works for Bill? Because he knows a lot of computer jargon? We'll news flash, maybe if you didn't own a mac you wouldn't be so dumb.
jrgcool35 3 years ago 2
ahaha are you fucking serious?! save money getting a MAC! they cost like several hundred dollars more than a pc with the sane specs, and you can save EVEN MORE money by constructing you on PC! save some money and avoid macs everyone!

"It's running at 630Mhz for some reason." They are factory underclocked and you need to increase the FSB in order to actually run it at the advertised 900Mhz. There are a number of ways to do this depending on the operating system you're running. But since you've chosen Vista, I guess you're up shit creek ;P

That must have been insane to install and boot. A NORMAL PC has trouble running vista, let alone a micro-laptop.

This is windows vista home premium with aero turned off. Trust me I have xp with VTP and vista ultimate (on separate computers) VTP doesn't have the same about windows screen.
(I know it's home premium cause if you go to the link in the description it has better quality and you can read it)

I don't know about vista.I wanted to wait to get it until it all worked good but one of the guys from the Geek squad at Best Buys told me that Best Buy wouldn't be selling anymore machines with xp on them anymore just Vista. I'm not buying that his info was correct though with so many xp users out there

Wow. I didn't know it could handle Vista. Even if it is a water down version. I have Linux on mine, which is 10x better than Vista.

that one is vista, i've tried all kinds of transformation packs from diff sources.. and they do have round "pearl buttons" (start buttons doesn't exist in vista you moron)my point is never judge a transformation pack from start buttons.
i also can tell that he's running a real vista coz im running one right now.
the only reason why he can run vista on an EEE PC is because he's using a low hardware demand OS which is Vista Home Premium.
it has a "near" Sytem requirements list with windows XP.

Whats the difference between SP1 and without SP1 ive installed the beta SP1 and theres no difference vista is pretty bad and will stay bad. Id say stick to XP not worth the upgrade lol.

You are cheating that isn´t Vista that is XP with a transformation pack, because the Start button isn´t round.
mrschlitzer 4 years ago
Lol, what sound reasoning. And flying in the face of 5:30 contrary video evidence where every other screen shows that it is clearly Vista. Your parents must be proud.
Oh, right... And you can choose whether to have a round start button in Vista. It's an option. So the lack of one is hardly evidence of a non-Vista OS. Good try though. :P
