Defiant · **Sat Mar 20, 2004 10:51 pm Windows XP!**

Its finally happened, on my computer, I upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP. A big step, but I think its for the best then. My hard drive is clean, but im happy!

Cool.

I have XP on this machine and it seems to not crash so much as 98 does on the old one. Could be the computer as well though. It is better in some ways, but if you're good with computers is quite simple to use and doesn't test you. Depends on what you like though.

My computer loads within 30 seconds now. XP is so incredibly fast on booting up. I love it.

from the starting on this Thinkpad but it is screwing up on me

whenever i play NFS underground it shows after sometime Physical memory dump on a blue screen and then suddenly restarts my computer without switchin it off properly.

also i keep getting wierd problem day after day i think they sold me a defective piece of *beep*.

i really feel like putting this up theirs

I got that physical memory dump blue screen alot. The problem was overheating for me. Next time you get that error, feel to see if the little thing is hot anywhere (inside if you can). You may just need a fan or two!

XP (Professional at least) is totally rubbish for games. When I put a game onto it, it will load up and you can play it for 5 minutes and then the computer would crash. I gave up trying to play games on this machine and use the old 98 one.

I think the site is blueviper.com, or maybe its blackviper I cant remember. they have a lot of stuff you can turn off for XP so it runs faster, even though XP still sucks.

you also have to have atleast 512MB of ram to run XP, some one that is related to me *so i've been told* had a computer with XP and he only had 256MB of ram, so he punched it off his desk, and punched it some more when it was lying on the floor.

Defiant, first foolish--i mean, uh, the first John Kerry sign I've ever seen. However, XP is cool, isn't it?

oh yeah i forgot to say... My new computer is better then anyone eles' cuz it has an athlon processer not a petium of celeron which both ar'ent near as good so niener niener :P

My XP actually takes 5minutes to start and 10 minutes to shut down.

XP crashes less often, but when it does it's baaaaaaaaaad. I've found XP to be more stable over the long term if you stick with the FAT32 file system instead of NTFS.

Defiant · **Mon Mar 29, 2004 4:43 pm**

meh...

XP crashes all the time with me. Its great, a program stops working, then you start it again, and its perfectly fine!

Monkey · **Wed Mar 31, 2004 4:59 am**

my computer takes 10 seconds to start and 30 seconds to start up windows xp and this is with a 2.08 ghz processer and it still goes faster then 4.0 ghz petiums or celleron athlon cost like 500$ more though

Defiant · **Thu Apr 01, 2004 12:11 pm**

Celeron sucks! Celeron sucks! Celeron is like buying a ball mouse, and everything else is optical!

Monkey · **Thu Apr 01, 2004 7:12 pm**

ball mouses were cool for like 20 minutets and then those laser ones came

Defiant · **Fri Apr 02, 2004 12:29 pm**

So, you see my point then?

petntium 3 only go up to 1 ghz and i laugh hahahahaha politely of course

PrankishSmart · **Sat Apr 03, 2004 7:08 am**

^Pentium III's go up to 1.4, actually. They also had an experimental 1.53 chip too I believe.

P3's may not be good for playing games like doom 3 or quake 4, but they can do everything else just fine.

Anyway, a p3 1.4 could kick the pants off a celeron or duron 2ghz system. I am not just talking about speed, too
