An upgrade in every aspect except your bank savings.

eh are the polys in SG gg to change to Vista? hahah… hmm how abt schools? sec and primary schools…?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

MOE pays I support. Mr. Green

Seriously... the hardware needed is probably too expensive to upgrade now.

chenc SG

Read from somewhere in PC mag that more than 80% of the world's non-cooperate pc cannot run vista. And more than 70% of them need major upgrades to many parts of the pc in order to run it, another words, throw away and get new 1. Crying or Very sad

i'm glad i got an iMac Laughing

pipipopo SG

if its 64bit computing...we already hav the AMD64s and Intel Duo Core...malerboors supporting the 2 major cores are long selling. DireectX 10 for graphics - its all ready.

let Vista work itself out first..because my system is already 64bit computing ready Laughing

0lala SG

why not juz get a xeon instead of upgrading?
correct me if wrong

pipipopo SG

not most can afford right? anyway u know the price for tthe older Xeons?

chenc SG

Got a developers release of Vista installed on a intel core2 xtreme x6800. Works like a charm. But i guess the chip's 4MB cache makes a big difference. Most 64bits in the market now are 2mb only

ditzy SG

Hey, we know you got the moola, but not everyone is a donald trump out there. Laughing

pipipopo SG

hmmmmm...don't worry. by the time vista's ready its high time i upgrade to a 4 mb L2 cache.

meanwhile pppl not to worry..vista will take a while and our XP for noobs, for homes for professionals will be around for at least 2-3 years down the road. i hope all companies forced to upgrade to 64 bit too because if u take a walk down some still using very old comp. Mad

chenc SG

Haix, just hope ms will not stop their web support and security upgrades for xp at the end of 2007.

pipipopo SG

i think even if vista finally readies itself it will take a while before M$ even dare to 'force' every user (including medium or small businesses) to switch to 64bit. after all most office applications works fine with just 32bit. so how will M$ answer to those who may still be using XP/ 32 bit in the event of a virus outbreak? blame the users for not upgrading to 64? i believe they will still hav to offer security updates and patches.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Yeah... that's the impact.

Non-corporate PCs is no major problems, but corporations are facing major problems.

Don't be surprised if their PCs have not been upgraded for years.

ndmmxiaomayi SG

You pay me, I get it. Laughing

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Old computers very secure. Maybe only got CD and 3.5 floppy disk drive nia. No need to worry about thumbdrive viruses. No need to worry about boot sector viruses.

And cheap also. Can pirate a lot of things in the PC and sell to make money to upgrade. What beats that? Mr. Green

mikecola SG

toshiba make best laptops anyway.

the Bear SG

whatever the hell i'm doing in the office, i don't even need a P4

heck! all most people use these days in the office usually do not stray further than MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint and very rarely Access..

you can use the 1995 versions of those things on a bloody P2 and still come out with the same result..

what's the use of all that power for?

i asked my tech side this and they were unable to give me an answer... actually, i don't think they can answer anything at all.. whenever something goes wrong, it's either "cold boot", "reset" or they just change the set Laughing
