Is Windows XP faster than Windows Vista?
It depends on the computer processor and the memory size in your computer as well as the vista and XP category Vista has variety of choices Vista Basic edition 32 bit .... smaller in size and requires lesser requirements, faster Vista 64 bit edition ..... medium size, requires medium PC hardware specs can be fast or slow depending on old pc or new pc processor and the memory size Vista Enterprise Edition ...... large size, requires higher hardware requirements for additional enterprise built in multi-user corporate environment capable of multi- user/ multi-task as for XP it depends on the category too, according to Thoo
Why do people keep saying Linux is faster than Windows 10?
Linux is not “faster”.Linux is not bloated indeed.Linux is system which do exactly what you want to do, without running whole bunch of services you don’t need.Windows is adware and bloatware (recently they started to preinstall games…). If your CPU spending time on displaying ads, installing adware programs in background, scanning your drives (Antimalware Service Executable) and each one of application you run has own updater and installer, getting reports, analytics - what we’re talking about? Windows is not “slower”. Windows is spending your time for tasks you don’t need, which implicates that task you actually need will require more time.Windows is spending your CPU cycles for meaningless jobs (meaningless for you, but cost-effective for a company). Linux doesn’t have such interests, so you have a full control what your computer do, and your CPU will be more “concentrated” on task you actually do.Philosophy that comes from Linux (many of you can name it “ideology”, I don't object) is the question “who serves your operating system”. In Windows case, it serves Microsoft company and bunch of other companies that has common interests with MS, and your machine is in their hands. Linux serves the user, especially user and only user.No ads, no bloatware, no remote installs, just apps you need and nothing else.Due to fact that Linux is younger, it's a younger market. Most of games has no Linux versions.I'm using dual-boot configuration due to that.You can also install Windows on external hard drive and use it for games only.
Steven: Will a laptop with 500MB RAM be able to run vista?
It's possible But I wouldn't recommend it
As of now, which operating system is the best for gaming?
Windows 7 64-bit Professional/Ultimate.At present, no game requires the Windows 10 optimisations for performance yet (though this will eventually change, and some games may already run faster now). Between Win 7’s native 64 bit support, emulated 32 bit support, and ability to run 16 bit software using a Windows XP mode embedded in the OS, you can run all Windows era programs off this, DOS era programs off DosBox, and then Playstation games off ePSXe (PSX) and PCSX2 (PS2), while most PS4 games will also have playable ports due to it having PC-like system architecture.Performance wise you are stuck with i.7–6700K as the most powerful supported chip as Kaby Lakes and later will support only Windows 10. Most other things - GPU, etc will remain compatible. Win 7 is already capable of using more RAM than games require (while even Vista had issues), and already contains SSD optimisations. Windows 7 is also capable of using up to DirectX 11.Windows 7 is the end of the era when PCs can run everything. Compatibility issues plague all successive generations (as this forces people to upgrade) and the OSes before that were all lacking in firepower.It may be worth keeping a copy even in future to run as an alternate boot, even after things have progressed sufficiently far for a Windows 10 or later transition to be justifiable.
Is 2GB of RAM good enough for gaming?
If you have the option and can afford it, the 4GB option would be better. Typically the more RAM, the better speed and performance your computer will have. Nowadays adding extra RAM is usually not too expensive, so I'd say to go ahead and add the extra RAM. However, a 2GB system could also perform quite well if you also have a good graphics card, a fast hard-drive as well as tweaking and adjusting various Windows settings that can help improve speed and performance as well. For an idea of this, visit "Tweak My Computer" blog for many good suggestions: http://tweakmycomputer.blogspot.com/ Read though the older archived posts there as well for lots of good tips too.
Is Watch Dogs the best PC game considering the memory usage and graphics provided?
You sure about that??have a look here:CPU:2.7 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 805RAM:4GB MemoryGPU:DirectX 11 graphics card with 1GB Video RAM Nvidia GTX 560 / AMD Radeon HD5870DX:DirectX 11OS:Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8Store:At least 17 GB of free spaceAbove is the recommended requirements for a game released in 2013. Wanna see some screen shots of the game??Here you go:by now you already know that the game is none other than Crysis 3.Now coming to the Watchdogs:recommended system requirements:OS: Windows Vista (SP2), Windows 7 (SP1) or Windows 8 (only 64 bit OSs.)Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @ 2.66Ghz or AMD Phenom II X4 940 @ 3.0GhzMemory: 6 GB RAMGraphics: GeForce GTX 460 or betterDirectX: Version 11Hard Drive: 25 GB available spaceSound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible Sound Card with Latest DriversNow comes the screenshots:Only thing which is better than Crysis is WD is open world. Watchdogs maybe a better game than Crysis but it is never was the best game considering memory usage and graphics.*though I prefer playing WD over Crysis as WD story-line seems more interesting than Crysis to me.cheersimage source: Google
