Oh dear.

Something about those comparison screenshots is reminding me of back in the day when they'd print side-by-side screenshots of Power Drift running on an Amiga and an Atari ST. Like you could make out any sort of difference in a low-res print photo.
Or a 379 pixel wide jpg.

Infact if you read the readers comments a fair few say this.

Re: Steam : The Orange Box :

more steam related than orange box related - anyone transferred their steam account to a different PC?
i'm considering rebuilding my machine with vista, was wondering what steam-related issues i might hit.

no issues. after you install the Steam client you can just re-download everything, or else restore a back up of the data. I've done it a few times.

vista isnt great for games. hogs resources a bit.

 

[Janer]

Not a problem here Froog if anything my games are running smoother, I have a good rig though, plenty of memory too.

 

[pete]

Running vista ages, no bother.

 

[Froog]

hmm, i guess my laptop isnt really made for games. its a demon with minesweeper tho...

 

[Froog]

i have a gig of ram, 1.86ghz twin core jobby and half life 2 plays quite jittery on the later levels on average resolution. any suggestions?

 

[the strange guy]

Get a laptop with a better graphics card.
It's really the most crucial part in a decent games system.

 

[Stan Bowles]

I wouldn't use Vista with anything less than 2GB of RAM, and that's in general terms, not for gaming.

 

[Janer]

Yeah I heard 2gig is the min too.

 

[Froog]
