Old thread is here, you can still look for the previous information, it'll be dead in 2-3 weeks
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/179327

Continue the discussion in this thread instead, thanks

is Vista quite stable now? My rig is old:

P4 631 3.0 Ghz
2 Gig DDR2 667 RAM
Aopen Nvidia 6600 256MB DDR2
160 GB HDD
250 GB HDD

Will vista ultimate (i only have this edition - got it free) runs smoothly or at least my rig will survive?

You should try this Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...adeadvisor.mspx

Anyways, it looks okay to me. Though it's advisable to have a dual core CPU, your rig will run just fine IMO. Just curious, how did you get your Windows Vista Ultimate for free?

Jeng Jengg~~ alijoe had been asked with the million dollar question XD

T.T My vista on my lausy notebook ain't exactly running that badly.... ^^ Still not considering to downgrade back to WinXP

Vista is said to be far better if all the support software and driver is here by now.

My pakteh bought it last week (RM670) at Seremban..but then he bought another computer..apple mac I think. So I asked him if I could use it temporary.. but luckily he said " Ko amik jela guna" So happy lo save my money.

I tested the advisor program and it advised me vista business (but I only have ultimate). Hopefully my rig will run it smoothly..

Will buy another C2D PC this sept. or should save money and upgrade proc to Pentium D instead?

i'd say go for 2cd.
pentium d will just throttle your graphic card. damn it..

well, at least that's the case for me..

2cd or c2d?
tom's hardware have a guide about budget or low end machine will fine for vista,go figure it out.

later ori users and non ori put up together, very misleading lor..

right click mouse on desktop >> personalize >> Desktop Background >> how should the picture be positioned ? . there have 3 box there you can choose.

ya that the problem that i say we can't put the pic according to the size we like only got 3 option window xp got more option that make me really sad -.- could't not see my gf face if put as background look ugly also

HELP!

I just bought a Dell Inspiron 6400 loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium. I'm not familliar with the security "features" just yet. I feel that's the culprit for some programs to not work e.g. Skype, Azureus, Limewire

When I load Skype, my internet connection automatically hangs, Skype itself won't connect. For Azureus, tracking fails. And Limewire doesn't connect.

Makes me wanna install XP and let Vista "mature" before reinstalling. I don't even know how to do that.

Please advice on how to deal with the security, and maybe how to delete Vista.

THANK YOU!
