I play around with the few games I can play on my netbook.
Just as an example: Playin HL1 on Windows XP I can get about 50-100 Latency. Rarely more then that.
But with Windows 7 it increases to 200-300. sometimes a little less then 200, but not much.
It also finds a little less servers.
Same thing happens for GMod and TFC.
There's no difference when I turn off Aero.
Is this a big issue, or is it just me?
How much ram do you have? Seven takes much more RAM than XP and thus could hit your performance.
I have 0,99GB according to XP, but 1,00GB according to 7. I thought recommended was about 576MB or something like that?

It may be your network configurations in windows 7.

Could be. Not sure where to change that though.

2Gb for 64bit
1Gb for 32bit
Get more ram it will improve your computer by fucktons
:ninja:
Oh, well I have 32 bit.
And can you install extra RAM into a netbook? Thought it was too small for upgrades.

well if the minimum is 1GB and you have 1GB i dont think it would run a game very well especially since its a netbook.
How about the Starter thingy? I heard it's made for netbooks to begin with.
Might buy it, and sell the Ultimate disk in that case.
[QUOTE=Ezerith;19221148]Aaahahahahahaha...[/QUOTE]
This just in: newer OSes have higher requirements than OSes nearly a decade old. Also tonight, Crysis has higher requirements than Doom and the outrage this has caused. More on these stories at 9

yea, but you get no aero, and cant change the wallpaper.
but it should work better.
basic would also work better cause it comes with less things but more than starter, if starter sounds bad to you.

Recommended for XP is 512MB. Recommended for 7 is 1GB. Hmmmm, but there's no chance that 7 would use more rite? :downs:

But 7 has far superior memory management so I don't give two shits if 7 uses 80% of my RAM. It means nothing because it'll drop significantly if I need more. XP doesn't do that. You're running on thin ice at 80% in XP.

I commented how 7 uses more RAM on idle and thus would slow his netbook down while gaming since he has only 1GB RAM. And he whined how XP works better on his netbook. No shit really.

Still, Win7 is good on memory management. Then again, it's fairly new and XP is almost a decade old OS.
