QUOTE(blessedvillain @ Mar 19 2008, 12:24 PM)

so, if i download the SP1 standalone and installed with current Vista (updated with all the latest update), there should be no problem right?

why is there so much difference between the standalone and the Window Update version?

Standalone - 450MB

Update ~ 65MB

The problem is about the incompatible drivers and such.
I ran WU yesterday and windows prompt me to update some drivers and uninstall some .dll s, but I didn't do so, because I've already deleted the .dll but the registry or something is still there. I used a registry editor to no avail. For me, this would be the reason why I'd want to avoid the standalone

what he means is
with windows updates it will update ure drivers along with SP1..

hence less conflicts
the prob is
it wont update to SP1 until all the drivers are compatible.

Added on March 19, 2008, 3:05 pmhmm no dx10.1
weird.
second update burning dvd

before using vista self burning software on 4.5gb DVD takes 13 mins 20 sec
now takes 9 mins 5 sec

same HDD..

third update transfer rate on raptor to other HDD before 53.7mb/s now 72.6mb/s
transfer was the same file size which was a iso of a game..
before was gears of war
now tried using COD 4.

i've updated mine to SP1 too, complaining about language not supported so have to uninstall those language, then continue with installation...took about an hour to do it. It still sucks and still takes me ages to configure those network settings

I highly suggest to reinstall fresh Vista with SP1..otherwise, your computer will be damn messed up.
