Vista offers potential for the old machines, but in many cases it is wasted by very bad driver support.

It will took another 5 years until 64 bit become more used for app creation in way when common user will be able to see the difference in performance and appearance of those applications.

64bit version should not be able to work with any 16bit apps (even with those which were created for win3.1 and win9x on 16bit), but this doesnt apply to my old 32 bit processor and windows. This makes vista only a bit worse that its predcessor. Some programs from era when games were made both for DOS and WIN95 are not able to work with vista correctly, and dos programs are out completely. Also the cpu management (and app management) is really better when it comes to it. the reason seems to be connected with the graphic card driver and also in more functional opengl support for some products. The Vista looks a bit faster than windows 98 for many reasons and in more than one games.

i hate disguise, and Vista Home basic (single cpu version, without aero) seems more suitable for my old computer.Īlso the most funny thing is that Vista 32bit is able to use same drivers as Win98SE which is 10 years old system, but Vista 64 bit is completely different cup of tea. Old AGP driver, and DWM enabled graphic driver are not compatible.Īt this point it is question if i want to have stable and functional system, with slow desktop, but realy good memory and cpu management, or system with hidden issues, bit lower performance but nice and beatiful 3d accelerated Aero. New AGP driver with new Catalyst can fix performance errors, but not driver related errors on PCI bus caused by AGP driver, but the AERO and 3d acceleration of desktop is available.

I get best performance, driver related errors were fixed, but 3d accelerated desktop became unavailable due missing DWM support. "CPU to AGP bridge" driver from year 2002 by Via works with Catalyst 6.2 perfectly. They worked seamlessly except missing DWM support (and thus aero was not available). Later the ATI dropped the support of my graphic card completely, so i tried the 6.2 catalysts from year 2006. after upgrade by ATI drivers also i found extreme low performance of graphic card - surely caused by driver, which was also solved by newer versions of Catalyst 9.x. i tried to solve this and i found very strange behaviour.īut before that i found big issue in generic graphic driver - no OPENGL available. Later i discovered that it was caused by "CPU to AGP bridge" driver which has been provided as a generic driver by microsoft. In TV tuner i found errors on PCI bus (errors in image). The Creative's policy of vista drivers is just not acceptable for me, but at all this is not problem of OS. In Win98 i have full 5.1 surround with all possible sound effects and with ASIO function enabled. only difference is that ati released wdm drivers only for windows 2000 and newer, and especially for vista there are DWM capable drivers. Vista 32bit and Windows 98se are able both use same WDM drivers. Also i like the way when graphic card is responsible for all graphic effects on desktop (finally Graphic user interface is not handled by CPU).īut at this point most of good news are gone. that makes vista bit more efficient than NT5 family windowses.

I have been stunned when i realized that whole Vista is programmed in. Lets begin with hardware configuration (as always):Īdaptec 19160, Seagate Cheetah 15k, Intel Pro GT, Creative soundblaster LIVE 5.1.Ī) Windows 98SE, kernelex, SESP, and many other usable upgradesī) Windows Vista Home Basic (and business) 32-bitįirst of all i would like to say that after more than ten years it is first OS upgrade i did on my main machine, and for that i am thankful to people here, which made my Win98SE able to skip whole NT5 Windows family.
