Windows Longhorn

I have learnd to fear the word "Longhorn" on this forum, especially coming from Judas.

Is it an official MS beta release? If so, we probably have access to it here at work. Did you try it out? Been looking forward to seeing this OS for a while... certainly lots of hype.

no idea , ive just been seeing it around and saw a couple of posts about it on neowin ...

ill let you know when we get it...we have a MSDN subscription....

im guessing thats where these copies are coming from ... just wondering if anyones try to run it ...

Beta testing for Windows? I bought XP before SP1, what else do they want?

Ive got it, can't fucking run it, need a 64bit cpu annoy:

I'll let your borrow mine.

Sweet christ ur sig is hurting mein eyes.

loney:

looks nothing better than xp with a few add ons and probaly higher drm security

intel sucks biggrin:

All I know is my $200 90nm 3200+ at 2.7ghz is faster than a FX-55.


I don't think anyone on the Intel side could say that. ($200=FX-55 that is)

Im just waiting to see what comes next in the pipeline regarding graphics and cpu's. Was considering an amd 64 but with dual core later this year id probably prefer to see how that works out first.

Could just about order an amd 3500-winchester and motherboard tomorrow, not really sure what gains i would see so im gonna hold out for a bit.

Once you have a hyperthreaded p4 its hard to go amd, heard a lot of people say that multitasking is a lot more sluggish with amd due to lack of hyperthreading.

.....i have a thing about being a "beta" tester. While i can understand the importance of having others test your product before you release it, i for one am not one of those willing to try. I'll wait till the bugs are worked out before i try. Still haven't put SP2 on yet even though i had it on disc since it's release. I'm just about ready to do my daily re-format so i'll bring everything up to speed.

Name is Texian, so it must be good.

Daily reformat? ed: eek: eek:

YEH WTF?!!? eek:

...you mean you guys never reformat? Man, there's nothing like a nice fresh reinstall. It's like a brand new bitch which i can't wait to get my hands on !!

You wouldn't see much improvement unless you got one hell of an OC out of that 3500+.

A64 multitasking keeps up for the most part. It might be a little sluggish if you encoding a video and doing something else that takes a lot of CPU usage. I've done some audio encoding while gaming and it didn't slow down at all.



I'm interested in what will be gained from dual cores as well. I hope it's not just better multitasking like current dual cpu setups. I'm also kind of scared to see how much heat the dual core prescotts put out. ed:

I've never reformatted cause my comp is a raging piece of crap and it wouldn't do any good, But reformatting DAILY is ridiculous.

....yeah, by daily i mean once every three months or so......sometimes longer, sometimes shorter.

...and i always reformat after a major hardware upgrade like a video card.

since i got this in july i havent formatted once..i have no neeed to.

How often ya defrag

...and i always reformat after a major hardware upgrade like a video card.[/quote:6731e]K, makes sense, had me thinking literally every day. stupid:

once a week about, i go on and check and see if it needs it every few days.

Ya same here, anytime i install a game or something i defrag the drives, besides that it gets done a few times a week.

i format ALL THE TIME... sometimes more than once a week ...

You're a homo so you don't count plzdie:

cuss:

You must use an "outside" defragger because the windows defrag won't let you do it daily. What program do you use to defrag??

wtf. How much time do you spend reformatting? I do it, ha, probably every summer or every 6 months. biggrin: wallbash: biggrin:
