Vista pause

Post by pcrobot »

Just to let you all know...

I'm testing out the Vista beta, and I have not been successful in getting folding to run. I should be switching back to XP on Saturday or next week, and then I'll be back up.

Just so ya'll know...

Well, as I mentioned in the Folding Challange thread, I finally did get Folding to work. It's slowly crunching a 100 framer. I really had to cut back on the CPU Usage percent, because it kills Vista.

If Vista is a slow nightmare just because of Folding, I wonder how terrible it must be when playing games! Framerates must have dropped drastically? :axe:

The thing to remember with the vista beta, is that the main graphic work is done with the CPU but in the final version, it will be unloaded to the GPU.

So im still hopefull that vista will be really good, plus all the unimplemented features sound really good.
