redoing PC means downtime from EQ

[icecat]

WOOT good bye Vista and Hello Windows XP again. Anyone one know if Windows 7 is any good or not unlike Vista. ( IMO Vista sucks) with any luck i might be on for a few min yet tonight. I hope

I like win 7. There's a few fixable issues with eq, though. Most who didn't like vista are ok with win7, but I suppose it depends on what you didn't like about win 7

I have Win7 now and its working great. You always have a little bit of transition time you spend figuring stuff out but i won't say its a downgrade from XP.

I have grown to like 7 also. The thing I like the most about it is the 'homegroup' setup. I have 5 WIndows 7 machines and the homegroup really simplifies setting up stuff like shares and printers.

Just don't skimp on RAM... load the MB with as much RAM as you can.

Alt O (Options)

Display Tab - Advanced button

Lower left corner switch to balanced memory usage or if that doesn't work switch to low memory usage.

beyond that more RAM!

like i said this is the same PC ive been using all along nothing is dif besides my type of windows. I have never had any issues before with my graphics being like this till i reprogrammed it. now char load slow and i have major lag. I know it has to do with the setting in my video card but not sure what i messed up on

I took a significant hit too with VoA. I had my ISP come out the other day and reconfigure my setup. Pings are much better and chars load tremendously faster for me. You may try speedtest.net to see how your connection is performing.
