more on vista...

One of my officejet printers is not "fully" functional under vista at this time. It works and prints and scans from any software ap but if you walk up and press the "scan" button it doesn't work...upon looking into it the Hp driver does not support all the features just yet...a minor thing but I guess this is commonplace.

Also after using it now for a few weeks I have been monitoring the performance, CPU, disk, Ram, and network now pretty closely just to see how it behaves. I can't over emphasize having the most memory your budget can afford. This think likes lots of elbow room, it likes to build up an enormous cache at times (I think to support this "superfetch" feature) for fast access and will use whatever memory you have....I am talking gigs of memory. The dual-core is nice in that you reduce latency when multiple things are ongoing which is normally the case. Disk access is generally the hold up now. Shoulda gotta RAID set up.
