New Guy From Scotland

[Republic Scotland]

Greetings from the soon to be independent nation of Scotland. I've been building PC's for about 10 months (1 and halfish so far) so im newbie i guess.

Nice to meet you all and if any one has a good argument why i should upgrade to vista before the year is out im all for it.

Sorry if my grammer or spelling is crap i have dislyxia.

Hi mate nice to see you here on OC3D

Reasons to go to Vista: well DX10 is nice but there's not loads of compelling arguments really, unless you're going 64bit with more than 4GB RAM, in which case it's swift and smooth

Didn't notice spelling errors, don't worry about it, we're not grammar police here

DX10 would be a very good reason for me to convert Vista. I recently started gaming again a few months back and if there where more titles that utilised DX10 then i would happly fork out 120 quid for the 64bit ultimate.

As it stands there are very few titles with DX10. The reason being i think is Crysis sold a lot less because the specs where so high to the run the gaming engine.

Hense why so few games are being made with DX10 in my oppion. As for ram i have XP Pro 64bit and 2GB of Geil Black Dragon. My CPU is a ageing Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe OC to 3.050GHz.

I tryed it at like 3.8GHz and 3.5Ghz but the VCore had to be set at 1.60. Not the most efficient CPU as you can tell.

Welcome to OC3D.

And as for Vista - Personally, I love it. Had dual boot for about two months now and not once touched XP. Bear in mind I do have 4GB RAM though, I'm not sure how bad it might run on lower end systems.

Good luck and have fun at OC3D.
