I think Kenvin is mistaking an OS update with a hardware update.
If you want Dolphin to run at a higher FPS, invest in state-of-the-art hardware, because that's the only thing you can do to raise that magic number. Everything else is up to the brilliance of the developers.

*waits for someone to suggest that DOS will make the difference*

Sorry, but there is definitely NO reason to use vista atm. It's slow, you need massive machines to get it working well and then it's still not as usable as xp. Plus... it's nothing but a colourful xp with neat effects, a new networking stack and a new security model (which sucks).

*cough* Useless to YOU maybe, but those "effects" can be disabled to get a faster system. Some of us wants shiny desktops you know?
That's pure nonsense. Vista can run well on a number of machines. You don't need "massive machines" to run Vista. It's still as usable as XP, though there are of course, compatibility problems, that will be solved with time.
No, Vista has a lot of changes under the hood. What you may SEE is not much unlike XP, but there are plenty of changes that makes it safer than XP as well as additional power saving, for one thing. And the new security model does not suck. And if it's UAP you're referring to, it can be disabled. No harm, no pain.

Do you know a machine that has less than 256 / 512 MB memory? If it does, then it probably shouldn't use either XP or Vista.For real? Vista does "only" need 512 mb of ram dude! I think win98 did use 64m
But i wont discuss with you cause you would know it better^^
With those unpleasable hotfixes, yeah.
Umm, I was more thinking of compability software & drivers. You know, updated ones that support Vista fully.

It doesn't eat 512 mb memory and memory is cheap. Windows will allow for other applications to use that memory. Again, disable the pretty effects and Windows will use less. And we'll probably see tools that can configure how Windows uses memory.

I'm sure there are ways to bypass that if one just looked. And memory isn't expensive. But that 256 MB machine kinda tells me that it isn't good enough to run XP/Vista anyway.
