New Tech Versus Old Tech

[Sonic 296]

Just a few quick polls to find out who is using what on their computer. Example. Do you use and LCD monitor or are you still insisting that CRT is better

 

Due to limits and entire computer system can't be covered in these polls. For this one is covering CPU, Monitor and OS.

[Inferno 22]

Intel Dual-Core, standard LCD, windows XP 32bit.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Intel Core2, non-wide LCD and Windows XP x86. I'd still use Windows 98SE but I need a new copy.

[Sonic 296]

Intel Dual-Core, Widescreen LCD (16:10), Vista 32bit for me.

[Luk3us 63]

Intel Dual-Core, Widescreen LCD (16:10), XP 32bit for me.

 

LCD > CRT.

 

1) Smaller on my desk.

2) Makes less noise.

3) Text is more crisp, though colours aren't quite as vibrant.

4) I can play my PS3 on it in HD.

[Guest Stevie_K]

AMD mulitcore, 32-bit XP (ofcourse), Widescreen 80 Hz plasma monitor.

[Nmenth 291]

AMD dual core, 32-bit Vista, widescreen LCD.

what if we have more than one computer? do we chose the one we use most or what?

That's what I did...

Yeah, your main computer.

I lol'd.

[BioBen 3]

I'd still use Windows 98SE but I need a new copy.

 

Why?

 

Old OS is old.

[Nmenth 291]

Why?

 

Old OS is old.

Why not? If it works enough for your own intentions...

Always having what is newest only satisfies a techie and Microsoft.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

Old OS is old.

It's really not that old. And it would be nice to play Red Alert without a whole of grief from the OS.

[BioBen 3]

This is true, it just doesn't run alot of new programs + looks like bollocks

[Doctor Destiny 41]

I don't give a damn about new stuff. That's why I have XP.

[Wee_Ooh 0]

Man, I need to get a new computer. The only option that could be worse is my OS. >_>

[Doctor Destiny 41]

If you wait a few more months, there would be no downside, not even the OS.

[Guest Stevie_K]

Iv'e heard alot of great things about Windows 7, (that it runs faster than XP and looks better than Vista)

So I think im going for that one when it comes out.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

I'm definitely running Windows 7 for my new builds until the next great OS comes along. I hope Microsoft just leaves it alone for a long time like they did with XP.

 

Personally, I find moving OS's as fast as they do a joke but eh. Can't have everything.

[Malevolence 6]

Intel Core i7 4 Cores 8 Threads (Never get so fast and overwhelming in my life!), Widescreen LCD 16:10 (Yea goodbye to the classic CRT monitor), and Windows 7 Ultimate RTM 64 bit. (Awesome OS!)
