Counter strike download for windows 8 install#
in case you were wondering whether you have any chance to install the operating system and even play a game on your computer or not. I know, some of you might think that these are low resources to run Windows Vista, but I just wanted you to know. That?s why I decided to test one of the most popular games ever and present you the results provided by 3 different platforms: Windows XP, Windows Vista with Aero and Windows Vista without Aero.īecause a very powerful computer equipped with Windows Vista was quite useless, as the games ran perfectly, I decided to test Counter-Strike on one of the most popular hardware configuration: AMD Sempron 2500+, NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 and 1GB of RAM. Some of the users sustain that the new interface of the operating system requires a lot of resources, making the computer load quite slow. Except for the security features, most of the users are avoiding to update their operating system to Vista because they are afraid of huge loading times and computer errors. Now, Windows Vista was often regarded as the most secure release of Windows, the parent company Microsoft promoting it as a simple way to work on the computer and remain secure. Today, I decided to show you the differences between running Counter-Strike, the famous tactical first-person shoot game, on a Windows Vista operating system and on a Windows XP platform.
