And anyone who thinks an AMD 3000 is a POS is a noob. Not everyone should need a dual core 6000+ to browse the net and do everything they want with a PC.

I still have a P3-1000 desktop here in the house. But then I've probably been around a bit longer than you have

Ah, the days when 512meg was a really big HDD rather than a small amount of RAM

If Vista means needing a 6000+dual core PC, then it's no wonder many people are sticking with XP as they are.

And where did you get the 3000 laptop, etc, if not from your parents? Must be a well paying afternoon job?

Someone agrees....

A 3000+ becomes junk when you try to run Vista on it and complain... Vista was never meant to run on this 90nm technology. You know Vista requires more than that, so why try it... Seriously, did you expect Vista to say "Exclusive P4/A64 Support"? NO!! You didn't!

patrickv · 11-26-2007, 03:58 PM

you know what happens in these thread, someone says he doesn't like vista, then start criticizing each and every damn fault about vista, while a vista fan boy reads the post he gets pissed and replies back, now this is where the war starts.
And somewhere in the middle an advance tech comes in and tries to explain the problem diplomatically and he also gets involve in the forum wars...lol
thanks god i ain't a part of it...lol

So, by that logic anyone who just wants to run MS word and surf the internet and maybe once in a while burn a CD, must upgrade their hardware because Vista says so.
