Review by Karen Nordhus

When I built my first computer recently, I chose Windows Vista Ultimate. I would be lying if I said that I liked this operating system. I have just had too many problems. First, I could not install the drivers for my APU. It’s GPU part says that the standard vga adapter failed to start. I had to put an old Geforce 9600 GSO 512 in it. Next, it had several issues with emulating. I get blue screen when ever I try to emulate n64, and gamecube emulating got progressively slower. Instead of being able to run a game at 150% speed, I only get 85% to 100% game speed. I also had problems with installing Directx. Every time I ran the Directx installer, it failed to install. I had to rely on NBA 2k13 to install Directx for me. So now I bought Windows 7 to replace this OS. I recommend that you save time and money, and just go buy Windows 7.
