120 Seconds Boot Time

by on May.21, 2009, under Tech Gadget

I have some issues over Microsoft’s Vista operating system. Our laptop was preinstalled with a Vista Home Basic. Since our desktop runs on XP I really noticed the big difference they have. Aside from it’s improved performance, new features are found on Vista. Personally, I like Windows Vista a lot until I have some RAM and performance issues with our laptop. The technician in the computer shop where we bought it said it can run a Vista as long as it is the Home Basic edition. The guy was wrong. Even if it is HB edition it still eats up a large amount of RAM and keeps me waiting for 120 seconds before I can start clicking the icons on the desktop. Even if I am running on a selective start up using only important programs still the boot time takes forever.

I read over the net that minimum RAM to run a Vista smoothly should be atleast 2 Gigabytes and our humble laptop only has 1 Gigabyte. After much realizations that it cannot run smoothly on our laptop, I decided to downgrade it to XP. Now, I succesfully installed an XP and integrated a Transformation pack for XP to Vista. The Brickopack/VistaInspirat from www.crystalxp.net.  Thanks to the computer geniuses out there for making such programs.

I will set aside something from my earnings in blogging to buy cheap computer memory to add on our 1 Gigabyte RAM of our laptop. So I can upgrade again to Vista and run it smoothly, without waiting for 120 seconds boot time.
