wevsspot Posted February 22, 2008 Posted February 22, 2008 Nice tip Speed. That may come in handy for someone who has a problematic application that doesn't want to play nice with SP3. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugglealufacus Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 I actually had a few bugs upgrading to SP3... i forget exactly what it was (I think games were randomly exiting... and winamp didn't work). Of course I made a stupid decision to down-grade back to SP2 and now disk defragmenter doesn't want to run "MMC cannot open the file C:WINDOWSsystem32dfrg.msc". I might try the RC2, my SP3 version is old (the installer says 6.2.0029.0) and maybe slipstream it into a X64 cd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 SP3 is for regular XP(x86) not 64bit, they are on a different development schedule Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HITandRUN Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 Got the SP3 installed a month ago and its been running fine. Anybody got a linkage where I can get the Vista SP1? :angel: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 BTW if you use realtek audio drivers stay away from XP SP3 3300, 3311 might be ok if you install it after the drivers, but I'd just stay away from it until they get this sorted out.

Guest SuppA-SnipA Posted February 24, 2008 Posted February 24, 2008 hmm in my vista sp1, it says i have 16 gb of ram in Control Panel > System, ram is oc'ed from 200 to 237mhz, although dxdiag says 2046mb ram, interesting, probably a bug ide + laptop hdd (4200 rpm) is slow, this is kind of killing the experiment i have (to see if sp1 is any more stable), and i dont plan to infest my main hdd's with Vista crap UPDATE - i've noticed Vista was more snappier, especially in flip 3d, more testing needed tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuppA-SnipA Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 would a 4200 rpm ide notebook hdd really decrease performance for an os? or is it barely noticable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelFiles Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 There is definitely a noticeable difference between 7,200rpm and 5,400rpm, I can't even imagine how slow a 4,200rpm drive must feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuppA-SnipA Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 :confused:...can i just blame vista ? i plan to get a 160 gb for vista and leopard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 would a 4200 rpm ide notebook hdd really decrease performance for an os?or is it barely noticable? I've got a Hitachi Travelstar 80GN 4200 RPM hdd in my notebook and in some instances it feels like it's crawling - large file transfers, photoshop and video/audio editing and encoding you can really tell the difference in hdd rotational speeds. A hard drive upgrade is on my list of things to do to this notebook when I have the time to swap them out and install a fresh copy of Windows.
