I bought a new Quad-Core desktop PC the other day, and I am pissed off..
Hey people. I bought a new PC just a few days ago, a Gateway - Desktop with Intel® Core?2 Quad Processor Q6600.
After comparing desktop systems for a few weeks I decided to go with this computer here. I was ecstatic when I first got it. I was upgrading from a Frankenstein to a decent system for the first time in a couple years. This system has Windows Vista Premium (64-bit) installed on it. I've used Vista before and didn't see any probs, but as soon as I started installing games and other applications, I realize what I was in for. I am now getting super slow browser loading times and flashes on the screen every now and then. I am sure that one of the programs I installed, that installed ActiveX and Framework, messed things up. I've since tried to get the lates drivers for my graphics card, atc, but no help. I may just install Windows XP on this system, or just return it. What do you guys recommend I do?

Take it back to bestbuy and drop down to 32 bit vista. 64 bit is what is probably giving you issues. If you just got it and its having issues they should take care of it.

if you want preformance, dont go vista unless its a brand like IBM/Lenovo or HP(because they test their drivers on the final system). The drivers on many of the other brands simply just dont work well together in Vista. NONE of my customers get Vista, and they never will.
They will Run XP until the new version of Windows is launched, because it will feature some of what we have on windows2008 server already. Im looking forward to a minimum install that keeps all the clutter and bullshit services away from my OS If you look at your Vista Taskmanager, the OS and services use between 500 and 800megs of Ram before you even start up any applications. |

Vista x64 is the turning point for operating systems as they transition to 64-bit. Currently, however, the majority of users will be very disappointed by installing Vista x64. The lack of 64-bit drivers for most current hardware will be very disappointing and frustrating to most users. Why push for 64-bit now anyway? The performance gains promised by 64-bit will not be seen for years until 64-bit compiled versions of software is the norm.

Vista 32 is the way to go. I was reluctant to get it, but when I got my new machine, I got Vista Ultimate 32 and it's been really good to me. (so far)

Vista is just weird. I'm about to go back to xp64 because all Adobe CS3 products have become corrupted and won't re-install on my Vista system. I'm done with it...maybe Windows 7 will be better.

gateway is your main issue - vista and program compatibility is your secondary issue. Resolve both or live with vista on a better brand

Upgrade to XP or spend 10 hours or so trying to shut down all the bullshit on vista to get it to run like XP.

If you can get them to take back the machine, find a local store you TRUST and have them build you one with XP, to the specs you need.
I just got a new bare-bones machine. I use it mainly for storage, running bulk photoshop processes, big uploads/downloads, etc - non-demanding stuff that I've been doing on a Win98 machine that was starting to die after almost ten years. I have always bought Dells (have had good luck with them for the first 3-4 years before they really get glitchy) - so I went to their site and then talked to a rep. The machine that had what I needed was on sale for $899, but they wouldn't sell it with XP. They only have *3* desktop models that they will sell with XP as an option - and to get basically the same machine (same specs) with XP --- was $1499. The reps were really snotty about it and wouldn't even let me talk to a manager even though I've bought about 10 Dells over the last five years, mostly high-end ones. So I called the people who have done repair work for me in the past and who were terrific - they put the same machine together for me with XP, for $650 including a firewire card that wasn't in the Dell and some extra software. Stay with XP and you can get some great deals.

lol.............. Well if i didn't know jack about computers i'd probably head on over to a forum that was for computer hardware and software. Other than that, try to uninstall anything you don't need. If you can handle it just re-install vista x64 and watch what you install.

I have Vista x64 without any issue on a home built machine. I don't play many games but css and c&c work perfectly. As mentioned earlier drivers will be your biggest issue but if you stick to big name hardware for your periferals, at least for your graphics card (i.e. nVidia) I can't imagine you'd have many issues.

Oh I just though of this, if your motherboard is cheap then all the components may not be up to snuff though that doesn't seem to an issue with the problem you described. I'm just rambling...

don't be lazy. Go to Fry's, get a badass processor, the latest motherboard, spend on your gfx card and go crazy with ram then slap it all together. I run Vista, WoW, Red Alert and a ton of other stuff like it's nothing. I dual monitor WoW and work all the time.

I run a desktop with a simple core 2 duo with vista 64 and it runs fine. It amazes me when it comes to desktops why people waste there money on company built desktops that come with OEM Windows and a bunch of preloaded crap. BUILD YOUR OWN DESKTOP, and buy the real version of windows, not some OEM POS.

I've been running Vista Ultimate x64 for months, everything works great except a few applications that doesn't work. But they can be run in Virtual PC.

Hmmm, you realise the Q6600 CPU isn't new? I purchased mine over a year ago, and I think it came out around mid 2007. They're a couple of generations behind, Intel just released a new CPU and socket type.
