@dontshackzmii. Mac's do not get more viruses than windows. It happens, but not as bad. You never hear of mac's getting anything. You hear it a lot on the new when it comes to PC. I also know who leo is. He had a tv show, and I hear him on the radio. Can you even back that up? Win 7 is killer. @Psy_m_on. The next gen xbox will use DX 12. Ms is going to stick with ATi and it is my under standing that it is a 4 gig monster. Before any one can use DX 12 they will need a video card that has 2 gigs of ram. How ever, that can change. So it might just need a 1 gig by the time they are done but I know the next gen 360 as of now will have 4 ATi video chips with 4 gigs of ram running in Quad. So each video chip will use a gig of ram, give or take. Also a lot of people think AMD is making the CPU for the next gen xbox. a 8 core CPU. How this falls under win 7? the OS running the next gen 360 will be running a OS like 7. Just with out the desktop stuff.
@pidow. Yes and no. I know the first UT wont work right. I dont know if its a video card thing or a OS thing. I'll get 300 FPS and lag then it will run and lag. I can run RTC3, the sims 2, simcity, 2 and 3, pain killer, max pain 1 and 2, COD, and so one. If it runs on xp, it has a 90% chance that it will work on 7. You would be better off getting the high end 7. The win 7 that is on the low end wont run a lot of older stuff. I have win 7 64 Ultimate beta and it works with everything i have but nero 7. The nice thing about win 7 and a funny thing is when I went to install it, a clean install. I had to find all my driver CD's. I installed win 7 only to find out I did not need them. i was able to get on the net right after win 7 installed and win 7 updated it's self and found drives for all my hardware. Lets just say it made life of a re-install/upgrade better. No more looking for driver CD's.
@nyranasaurus. try win 7. it kills xp. win v was crap. I did not have a hard time with win v and I don't under stand why people hate it. What ever. I like win 7 and it is a lot faster than xp. from the time I turn on my computer to my DT it takes 24 sec. right when I get to my DT i can do what ever I want. no lag on loading up anything. How ever, I have 2 gig of DDR 2 ram and a AMD 4600+ dual core. Not the fastest thing on earth but with win 7 it is even faster. But can some one tell me how I use 36% of my ram? I dont have a lot running in the background. I think I need more ram. 2 gigs in fine but now I want more.
@jedinortd_basic. If you have 32 on win v and win 7. Well you are stuck with 32. I installed win 7 64 over win v 32 and things went well. Not to say something bad wont happen to you. You can try. I did how ever zero'ed out my HD the other day and did a clean install of win 7 64. Best I can tell you, give it a try.
@dontshackzmii. I don't use any virus software. I don't go to porn sites, torrent sites, or anything like that. Even if you have protection you can still run into viruses or malware and have a lot of hell for it. You gotta be getting pron or torrents to have viruses like crazy. Do you know why you don't here of Mac's getting viruses? Only a hand full of people have them. Let's look at the Mac vs PC in home install bass. MS has over 80 of the market share. the mac has 20 give or take. So who better to hack or send viruses to... Why just the few when you can hit that mass. If Mac had a bigger in home bass and MS was in the spot of Mac, Mac would be getting hit like Windows. I know people who have Macs and yes they do get hit by viruses and malware. So you just keep posting stupid stuff.
@ endocrine. In a few weeks there will be a few games that work with dx11. Yes, I have seen my frame rate jump up on a few games I have. Not anything to run home about but games do run better on 7. Also games, video editers, and music studio software will us dx11. I dont know if you all know about this but when you work with video editers on dx10 and lower the CPU takes on all the renders but with DX 11 it will make the GPU do that work and it makes it a lot faster. Also most all video cards that are dx10 and under dont run as well as the should. You dont use all the power or pipeline's that were made in the cards. tessellator is something you will find in ATi cards and DX11 will use it. It Will enables games developers to create smoother, less blocky and more organic looking objects in games. One thing I dont like about win 7 is that they will faver AMD/ATi. It has something to do with intel working with Mac and the next gen xbox. If you wanna know more just go to http://blogs.amd.com/play/2009/06/02/why-we-should-get-excited-about-directx-11/
@03240978. I understand what you say. It sucks to play a new game for PC and to only find out you need new hardware. Dev's need to work on getting games on PC to run good on older computer's or hardware. I think games look better on PC and play better but I'm the guy that has a Nvidia 9500gt video card and getting games like Crysis to run just over 30 FPS is never going to happen. I need a new video card. How ever, A lot of games are PC ports to game systems. If they port to PC then they use MS dev kits for that. Most of the time the games is made from the ground up for PC and not just a port.
@siddarthshetty. No. DX 11 was made from the ground up for win 7. DX 11 is a all new software and when games come out of it you will see what DX 11 has done. Do you have a video card that runs dx 11?
