Yeah you guys might be thinking that "what a noob thats still uses microsoft"
yeah i use it coz i dont trust anything else

But recently my XP (ok this is old) SP2 seems to freeze alot
i have high RAM and high virtual memory
It freezes when i start the computer
just shows up the intel mother board screen
and after that it becomes buggy thats bugging me
And moreover the WAG popups and screen messages are just a hell
I really need to fix it. i even have a Genuine windows
I think i will switch to MAC

OFFTOPIC BUT COOL
I found a bunch of blitz tutorials
http://jnoodle.com/Blitz3D/
http://blitztutorials.com/
They are the thing
i think i will start programming soon

oh my god.

for one, your motherboard might have blown caps: window slow (EW intel board)

two: you can have bad ram causing windows problems

three: your hard drive could be old and have bad sectors or high latency sectors leading to read speed slow downs

four: you could just have a lot of bloatware on your computer

five: your version of windows may have just become too fragmented.

Before you run out of your house and switch to a Mac because Windows 'sucks', go do some reading why computers can slow down.

Macs are not perfect either, the reason you hear about less problems with them is because they can make the hardware GOOD because of the price (friggen HIGH). Not to mention the down sides they have too...

the mac os is nothing more than a prettied up version of linux anyways...

Omg no!
Not Intel motherboards, please God!
Intel drivers simply suck, don't buy Intel hardware (besides CPUs).

Exactly!

Intel CPUs are a bit pricey compared to AMDs but they do have quality. Intel mobos just plain suck.

Oh God! what do you have like 512 RAM running that thing??
If your CPU is Intel then good 4 u. But you "don't" even have a duo? well if your com is from 2002 then good luck.

But really you want to get rid of all necessary software and Bloatware. Windows does "not suck". If it does then why is it the most used OS?

Mac is better than PC? Enlighten USGN to that one. (Please Leegao, bust in here with your awesome debating skills)

Maybe it is Intel? Check it out, it is amazing what you can learn by some simple digging in system properties.

Intel Core 2 Quad is what I am looking at man. Maybe I7, but definitely not Xeon, too friggen expensive.

This 'yearly' definition of games really can't be applied because games demand different specs for each game...

No offense, but if people do not know what company manufactured your CPU, they do not know enough about computers to say "macs are better than pcs" with a straight face.

WAIT WAIT WAIT!

Before you spend a HUGE amount of money on a Mac!

I am custom building a gaming rig for $850 this thing is designed for gaming. My OS will be Windows 7.

Dude, Gaming and Mac do not belong in the same sentence without a "does not work for" inbetween.

Do a little research, Macs are perfect for people on web browsers, too stupid for 2 mouse buttons, too stupid to hook up some wires, have enough common sense to empty the US Treasury buying a computer, and people who do video/music editing.

All personal opinion, anyone feel free to boot me in the bum if i forgot anyone who actually needs a mac. (considering Windows machines can have at least 4 1.5 TB drives in them, do NOT say Mac are good for HD space.)

Be quiet now. Leegao, TDK, first and foremost DC, you did NOT hear WGA.

Use Visual Boy Advance. it is a good emulator.

Vista is ok, as long as u have updates and SP1. XP is outdated and limited. 7 is being release (or so they say) this Fall.

The emulator itself is actually quite a program. The roms it uses are the illegal part xD.

Depends on your budget for the computer to see if you need 32bit or 64bit. Easiest way of telling:

Over 4gb ram: 64bit

Under 4gb ram: 32bit

No talking about WGA, it is too easily misunderstood as something that is clearly illegal on these forums.

yah, so grab something retarded! Some sales guys at PC Cyber put together a $30,000 computer that we might sell to ultra-rich customers.

This thing has a RAID 5 with 5 solid state 120gb OCZ hds, 18gb RAM, dual I7, special ordered board from somewhere O.o, quad blu ray optical drives, and some new Nvidia card they were drooling about.

Personally I can make a halfdecent gaming PC for under $850.

why u don´t backup your games and reinstall XP?

Why MUST someone Open a thread about it, when something is wrong with his system like your Thread?
Just Backup your games. When u dont have enaught space, just burn it on a CD.
