Callistus Gallente Coreli Corporation Corelum Syndicate	Posted - 2007.01.23 02:13:00 - [1] Originally by: Dark Shikari Edited by: Dark Shikari on 23/01/2007 01:55:45 Its better because it purposely degrades all audio and blurs all video unless you have a license and play it on a monitor that supports HDMI (read: 2000 dollars). Its better because it performs quite a bit slower in all benchmarks and eats an extra 800 megabytes of RAM. Eh? Have you actually tried Vista? Your posts are usually pretty intelligent but this one just seems misguided. I've been running Vista RC2 since it came out and the ram usage is under 400MB (of my 1GB) when its relatively idle. I used to run 2GB, before one stick died, and then I remember the ram usage was higher (around 600MB iirc) so I can only assume that Vista's memory usage varies depending on how much ram you have to spare. As for the degraded audio and blurred video I simply have no idea what you're talking about. -------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainfrane]

Under 400MB? I haven't installed it simply because I only have a gig, but the screenshots I've seen show 800MB idle usage. I know someone with a gig who couldn't play back a DVD because he didn't have enough free memory. Well I'm sat here with 45 running process (AV, firefox, download software, etc) and the memory usage is 450MB. I also regularly run two eve clients and ventrillo on top of that and don't run into problems. Admittedly I did try and play music on top of that a few times and things did slow down. Originally by: Dark Shikari Originally by: Callistus As for the degraded audio and blurred video I simply have no idea what you're talking about. Read up on Vista DRM. You cannot play back any protected content (meaning any DVD, even things you could play fine on XP) without it being blurred unless you have a screen that supports HDMI. Not sure exactly what you mean by "blurred" but I've watched a ton of DVDs on this computer with no problems at all. Audio quality on all my music seems to be exactly the same as XP as well. -------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainfrane]

How much pagefile usage do you get with that 450MB of RAM? Page file usage says 768M/2301M -------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainfrane]
Callistus Gallente Coreli Corporation Corelum Syndicate	Posted - 2007.01.23 02:51:00 - [4] Actually that pagefile of 768 was while I was watching a movie (bumping the ram usage up to 525MB). Now that I've stopped and the ram is back down to around 450MB, the pagefile is down to 660. -------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainfrane]

Also, Quote: Microsoft said that if picture quality was degraded it would still be better than current DVD quality. -------------- [Coreli Corporation Mainfrane]
