=============================
My observation is Vista works really well on a very fast processor and gobs
of memory. If you use a machine two or three or more years old with a 2.4ghz
or 2.8ghz processor and 1 gig of ram, Vista just bogs down. Also, one should
have fast disk drives.
I am running Vista Ultimate; first tried the o/s on two different computers
one of 2003 vintage the other 2005 vintage, and had nothing but problems.
Gave up bought a shiny new 2007 E7oo Acer Aspire with an Intel 6600 quad
core 2.4ghz processor, 4gigs of ram dual channel, two SATA II HDs, a Nvidia
8800 GTS 320 ddr megs ram, 750 watt p/s and Vista runs like a dream.
Connected to a extreme speed cable system and get 9800+ downloads and 800
uploads.
Bought my son a dyi system AM2 mb, 4gigs of ram dual channel, SATAII hds,
450 p/s, ATI 1950 video with 256 mb ram, and it too runs Vista Home premium
like a dream with uploads/doneloads slightly slower.
I despised Vista when running on the older computers however clearly Vista
shines on up to date equipment.
