Vista FTW!

As probably stated in a past babble, I am constructing a $0250 PC [The extra 0 adds flavour]. Naturally a self proclaimed pirate would just get an Ultimate XP .iso, but I just don't feel like going around the internet for some Windows Updates. So the question comes up; What OS will I use?

LINUX??! [OMG hax!]
Nah, but I did think about it, mabe I will collect some cans to dual boot off another SATA drive. Ubuntu is the distro I would probably use. Even though I do like KDE interfaces a bit more.

OS X?
You nubs, MAC suxors. Not really, I'm just too old to get used to the interface. Besides, I haven't heard of anyone doing this with a "normal" MOBO... I could be wrong though.

"Then what OS will you use ?"
The answer? Windows Vista (Beta 2) Yes ladies and gentlemen, I am going to give you the experience of a lifetime...maybe not. But it will probably be fun, mainly because of the computer I am going to run it on, it may cause me much frustration, and we all know how I get when I get frustraded. Clicken

Here are Windows Certified system requirements for this Beta:

A Windows Vista Capable PC includes at least:

• A modern processor (at least 800MHz¹).
• 512 MB of system memory.
• A graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable

A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:

• 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor¹.
• 1 GB of system memory.
• A graphics processor that runs Windows Aero².
• 128 MB of graphics memory.
• 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
• DVD-ROM Drive³.
• Audio output capability.
• Internet access capability.

My Rig will be:
1.7Ghz Sempron 64-Bit [I will probably OC to 2.0 GHz....Probably]
A stick of PC 3200 512MB Ram [ Who needs dual channel?]
SATA II 80GB 3.0GB/s HD [I hope it won't blow up!]
GeForce 6200 LE [Homer-esq mmm-hm-mmm?]

There you have it folks, an almost decent machine....how it will run Vista? I really don't know, but you all will read my posts that will cover in detail how I work with Vista, at least until my product key runs out. Every time you see this! " Carlos's Vista (Beta 2) Safari " you will read about my likes and dislikes of Vista.

Why am i doing this?
- I don't know, it's fun to make crap machines work fine. On top of which, I really think this kernel is going to pwn.

As a poor student, I really can't shovel up the money for some benchmarking software, nor do I want to get any type of profesional review. I just really want to show people if Vista might be worth the upgrade. If I can get the damn thing to run some games then I will be happy. I will show FPS stats for some cool games, maybe Americas Army, Command and Conquer, Warcraft, just anything I can get my hands on. But mainly I will use it for school work, surfing the web, and watching media. If Vista can change the way I do stuff, then you will hear about it.

My next post will probably be about the install of Vista.

Who reads this anyway?

LOL!

Vista, you must not know who I am.

JAJAJAJA...Ok, I don't get it.

I think I'm going to end up with a Wii and an X-Box 360. Why? Mainly because of the arrow pointing to the dominance of HD-DVD over blue GAY...Get it? It's a joke! But mainly because of Sony's wanting to be more than a damn "nintendo" i'm talking abou their hopes of replacing a home theatre, desktop, and gaming console. Also, if sony hopes to get my money on their console they better be beating some fabulous gameplay that the Wii will offer. Also, fucking money man, with the price that Sony has announced, i could probly get me a nice dual core gaming rig. Sorry sony, but posibly the only way i will get the PS3 is if A)somone gets it for me [wink wink] B) if it is dropped to a reasonable price. C) MGS4 is PS3 exclusive... Yeah, i know what you guys are thinkning now, "Weren't u the one that said MS is a crap company that doesn't deserve to be in the gaming market"

Yes, i did say that, but look at what they have accomplished for us.
Their LIVE sistem will now cross platform from PC to X-box
[damn fps on console is better fanboys will finally be put down]

They actually managed to make an ALMOST bug free product on their first attempt.

Longhorn (hehe) doesn't seem all that bad, alot of cool fetures seem to be coming out, to HELP the avg user. ZOMG!

Their new design seems to of been reserched alot. Most gamers are in love with the 360 controller, mainly because it WAS developed for bitchy gamers that cant understand good gameplay. Kudos

Now, there are the damn PS3 Fanboys that give me the guff of
"But the prossesor is going to be 4.6ghz and multicore!"
i think,damn that is going to be a fucking expencive "computer". I prefer a computer.

"but you can put full functioning LINUX on them!"...
Big mistake sony. hax, it's all i'm saying...not only the console and other games, but online play will sufer with aimbots and automated bots ruining gameplay... Poor suckers that mine silver the honest way.

I beter see solid snake on the 360 or beter yet. Wii

now to the grown up stuff...

I have no money to pay for college and i don't even know where i'm going to stay out in phoenix...

Funny....

Yeah, you guessed it, more rants and my "phylosoficul" drivel!

It's all over? Are you serious? So fuckin bad ass. I can't stop laughing at the fact that i am an "adult". I have to become a functional part of society, i dont want people eating me when i die! I need to be mummified and be in a museum standing all pimp. Yeah, thats it. But for now i need to make all my school arrangements and acctually go. Why is it so scarry that in a months time i will no longer be in my cubby hole, secure with all the stuff i need, with all the people i like, just to be sent to hells wating room by myself in a city i dont know, with only my school work to keep me company...hell, no wonder i don't want to leave! JAJAJAJA. i thnk its funny so sthu. But i guess it's something every person is thinknig about at this time. Even the people staying here, they are probably wondering what now? What, SERIOUSLY NOW, what the fuck am i going to do with my life!?!!!?!?!?!?!!? *!!*$&%)@( @# homerow asdf;lkj wink ;)

Right now i'm looking for a job, anywhere other than a damn call center, but i think the force is too much. I see a hypnotizing cycle, graduate from hs, go to echostar, make ok bank, study buisness/communications/partying at UTEP. Totally worth it. I really hope it's not. I'm looking for a job at the Geek Squad, Comp USA, (Crappy nerd job). I rather do that than go back to a call center. They=debil

My cousins b-day is on june 6th

I need to relieve some stress, lets go....

To peter piper
Paintball
Have a beer
Talk about old times
Fuck ;)
Play Nintendo
Play Monopoly
Light shit on fire.

Anyone up for that stuff? I guess not...

Thinking right now, is it really important for people to find out what i am thinknig? Will anyone reply to this? Even if they don't i really don't expect anyone to do so, after all this blog has always been a place for me to vent on current events. MySpace sucks.

Ya'll take it easy.


i suck at writing :(
