Re: Vista

i just got a fucking dell inspiron with amd athlon dual core 64 bit processors running at a little over 5 Ghz - over 3 GB of ram - and a shitty NVIDIA 6000 series graphics card built in

A dual core, 64-bit machine, with 3 GIGABYTES of memory, with no slouch of a graphics card... and you can run the operating system. Well done.

I can also run an operating system, on an AMD K6/III running at 400mhz, with an old Geforce 4 MX. It's called Windows 98. Remember that?

I can also run an operating system with a GUI that has more 3D effects than Vista, is more efficient than Vista or XP (check the required specs for www.eve-online.com between the versions), on a basic 3ghz P4 with a Radeon 9000 IGP chipset. It's called Mandriva Linux. I'm sure you've heard of that one. Incidentally, compiz is designed to run nicely with basic Intel GPUs. Budget machines, yaknow?

So you don't need to spend $699 on unneeded crap.

Linux is fast. Vista is slow. Deal with it, but don't make your bullshit so obvious.
