Windows Vista(Codename:Longhorn) will be released in 2006.
But I heard that Vista need video card which support DirectX 9.
It means, Vista uses the more perfromance of PC than XP.
(I can't find more information about spec necessary for Vista.)

I don't think to upgrade to it now.

i wonder when it will be in the market here in the philippines....since we are the piracy capital of the world

And keiichiroy, have you ever set up partitions of harddisk?
It is very useful for save some anime files.

I created many dvd 'cause i didn't have space in my Hd. At begin i said 260gb is enough, but with the anime is very easy to make full.:sheep:

I did some partitions too, is very useful.

ye i did that, it is faster to do chckdsk if you have partitions, and it is much safer when error occures your HD, for it will not effect other partitions

How many do you divide the partition?
I have 4 partitions for system(NTFS), primary backup area(FAT32), secondary backup area(FAT), and Fedora Core(ext3).

Fixed in 2006/2/14:
I have 5 partitions...
->I have 4 partitions...

mine are all NTFS so that i can compress my files especially my animes

>>>i have 2 partitions, the one is where the OS is installed and the other one is for backup...

I have 4 paritions: 1 for OS, 2 only for anime, 3 for my sister,4 for my private file.

NTFS is more difficult for having the fragmentation than FAT, and it is safety.

Good idea.
So you can share computer with your sister in non-problem.
