Windows VISTA

PC Recommendations (M$ & me)

I've release 2 and the product version running on my office network.

1g Ram Min - 1.5 Recommended by me
256m Ram Video
1 Gig USB Memory Stick - Put in USB slot performance increases about 30%
FAST ATA hard disk 7200-10,000 RPM

Almost no existing PC should have VISTA installed without the above specs being met. I don't believe people with their present PC's should upgrade (my $.02). Way underpowered.

A lot of patience and wait until SP1 is released.

It ain't like XP. It's a whole new learning curve.

Made simpler by M$ Heheheheeeeeeeeeee It ain't easy to pick up the lingo.

My $.02

Bruce

Enjoying Life !

my almost 2 weeks release update:

vista works great in every aspect for me except for 1.

Videogames - specifically World of Warcraft - run like crap.

I put the blame squarely on my nvidia card. There are NO drivers yet. From what I hear from all my ATI friends, they are running fine.

I can play the game, I am just glad I am not prone to siezures... Lots of flashing.


Outside of videogames, I havent run into an issue yet. I will admit I havent installed all that much. I am going to be installing Photoshop/Premeire/VMWARE and a few other goodies shortly. We will see how it goes I guess.
