Which computer should I go with?

[Madmitten]

Im thinking about reclaiming my windows vista from my mom. But then then the windows XP I have works faster and it plays every game i install on it. So, should I take back the windows vista, or upgrade my current windows XP? The vista just ruins half my games for me, but it looks cool and has better graphics. I could do these or just get one built for myself.

Stay with the XP. Just because the Desktop and some other games look better doesn't mean you couldn't save up and buy another graphics card.

Stay with XP. Vista does not have "better graphics", seeing as graphics depend on your hardware, not your OS. Losing half of your games to make your desktop look cool isn't a good tradeoff.

That.

What yuki said is true, but me personally, i haven't had any real troubles with Vista. That is partially because i know what the hell I'm doing and I'm willing to put time into making the computer Run faster.

Delete system32
It doesn't do anything and just takes up space

That's the best way to get space, I guess...

Or, you can do "del *.*" in Command Prompt.

What's *.*?

What's *.*?

Don't actually do it.
It deletes every single file off your system.

Thanks a lot. Now you tell me.

How about some specs?

Windows+R, type in dxdiag, and hit enter.

Post what is on the "System" and "Display" tabs; both computers if possible.

It deletes every single file off your system.

Or every file until the system is no longer stable and crashes.
