Reply to Speaking of Windows 8 in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

To make the system faster an investment into a SSD would not hurt Some questions: Windows7 Aero is turned on or off; or does it use the windows standart skin ? Keep in mind windows8 is a lot lighter... I wanted to review the specs of the GFX card /mem of the GFX and so but cant find any specs of it. Another question: did you install board specific drivers and the gfx drivers - i only ask this since i assume you use windows7 without service pack... I

mhhh i thought i was on point with what i wrote... dual boot system ( both are on the same drive running in partition ) ups! 7 on the large SSD and windows8 on the small Sorry Jim it was late I didnt read that you used two drives for your dual boot thought you had them in partition (sorry) 1.

uhm ok... well but what did you install first ? windows 7 or 8 Also if both OS are on the same SSD drive it would be wise to make a clean install aswell unless you want to manualy delete all the stuff of windows 7 the long bootmgr files ( remeber the topic where i spoke about the dual boot thing ) You could delete those boot files manualy but its a lot more work than just throwing the disk in the drive and follow the instructions for a clean system since you will have to install all

IF you want windows8 to run on the SSD you will have to make a fresh install activate AHCI for the SSD in bios settings before you go and install to get the full performance. Out of the drive - Fast boot is not needed and if you wish you can activate all the other shit later but AHCI should be on !

I mainly post it since we will write an exam tomorrow and this is one of the topics that will be included. I&acute

Reply to New skin from me.... in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="BoXXi" reply="10" id="3397863"] Rolo..... I love Xion because of the way its skinned. Compared to skinning Winamp, Xion is just a dream! Have you tried it? [/quote] I have seen/read the concept of freedom in xion skins while i picked them apart (to understand how it works,) but i never made one myself always wanted but never did. It must be great to be unbound of a specific shape size or margin problems. The skin you made looks amazing - as did the evolve skin itse
