But Telstar,
I would go for OCZ vertex 60GB or intel x25 80GB (It only differs 50 euros)
W7 is free till october and useable till march.(decide then)
Give it a try, it works stable here. (if you don't mess around with drivers)
And tweak to dead that sh*t as in all/off. services,device manager, logs (lots of logs in W7) all of.
Like to know what you (and others) think of it.
Never liked Vista anyway, hope that MS (finally) gives us a decent HTPC platform.
Only 3 months ago I went out for Vista Ultimate x64 (what i think was a rip off)
New SP2 should come out in december 2008 then april and still isn't there.
(and what is a SP anyway, a bundeld set of updates, what about new features or making things really better)
Making lots of poeha about W7, PEOPLE make a Vista SP2 first, lots of folks spend 200 to 300 euro for Vista already (MF'rs!)
And still not stable.
What we need is a stable platform to work on (if it was'nt for the audio I would still be on XP)
As foundation for our HTPC. (starting to get a little crazy here, several craches no decent means for backup)
Just want to install a (my) clean image, insted of install Vista and doing the settings every (fckng) time manually.
Didn't PC's were inventid for automatisation.
We got to have decent backup's because, how do you want to flash your SSD's then?
I, Mean can it get worse?
OS that tends to crash and cant do back-ups.
money well spend, guess not!?!?
So it's out of MY system by having said this.
