Which one can use until 1st of June 2007 ? RC1 or RC2 ?


If i am using Dx9b can it run Aero and 3d flip ?

So compare to RC2 and RTM , can you define the meaning 'RTM is way better than the beta' ? The difference ?



If I install vista and want to uninstall , what step do i need to do ?

1. RC1 and RC2 uses the same key.
2. Vista is preloaded with DX10. the keyword here is CARD. DX9 cards are
Nvidia - 6 series above
Ati - X series above
3. Ask RTM users. I'm still using RC2
4. Reformat

aiyo... someone really need to change the first post wif more information on this OS... it is really hard to search through all 59 pages for the information needed... i dun even know where to download RC1 and RC2 Vista (just stumbled wif this thread and suddenly got interested with this OS )

DX9 card are:-

Nvidia 6 series and above
As for ATI, I believe its for 9500 and above...

If you want SM3, yeah, then its X series and above...
Honestly nothing to shout about Vista... Im downloading the RTM via some torrent and already have a crack for the expiry date. Im not sure which version Im using via the screenshot cos I borrow the dvd from my bro. In true, Vista is bloated. Apple does the same if not better effect for Aero alike theme and they did it with 512MB or less. M$ is basically screwed. There's no reason to install vista now cos there are not enough drivers for it. If you want to try it out, dual boot. You will regret if you format your windows xp partition just to install vista.

the thing is where to download it??

Got RC1 widely spread..

RC2 a few but it turns out to be RC1..

and RTM.. but dunno where to find it...




Someone told me RC2 is only for CCP people...

rtm mean "release to manufacturing", so i dun think normal user can download it direct from msoft.

aiyo... like that arr??


I thought it was another level after RC2 lor...



Just a question for all the sifus using Vista (RC1 and RC2) here... do you format the PC and install only Vista in your PC or make it a dual boot PC with two OS??

yeah... agreed...

so guys... if i now buy ori xp pro.. then i get vista business... will it be the lastest version of vista... and vista business it the best or vista ultimate the best...

Vista Ultimate.
And Kapitan dude, are you really sure what you're talking about? the best thing about Vista is that the DWM. XP cannot even do all the effects that Vista can without using at least 2GB or RAM. and ReadyBoot is one of the best thing that I'm using right now. bloated? I beg to differ. And also considering that Vista has 85% of drivers that you need, I don't think the lack of driver can be a problem. You want to use Apple, than that's fine. But looking at the market, M$ should be screwing everyone as all the big vendors are stocking up more Vista PC than other OS (read OSS).

I dont use Apple, its just a comparison.

It cant be helped if you feel good about Vista. Everyone has difference perception. I just feel an OS taking up more than 500MB of ram is nothing but bloated. DWM is nothing but a tool to utilise your DX9 card in desktop mode. Although it said offloading the processing to video card, but having to use so much ram means the processor will be doing works too.

Vista has 85% of the drivers but if you got a all-in-one printer, then you will be out of your luck. Not to mention the drivers for Prodigy LT.

i think someone wrote a driver for vista, check out prodigy's user forum discussion..i myself am using prodigy 192..found a driver that worked..but seems quite buggy , will get BSOD sometimes...

srsly, i think home premium is more than enough for me.

i dun hav DVD burner
anyway to install win vista?

For those who use the created PPPoE connection in their Vista RTM to connect to Streamyx (not using router or ICS as gateway), if you having the problem of the connection halt at the connecting stage and couldn't connected, here is the solution.

I got the reply from Microsoft, the problem is the IPv6 couldn't converges. Disable IPv6 of your Streamyx connection will solve the problem. Refer to the screenshot.

I dunno,
with my rig as in my sig right now, I'm surfing, running FM07, Genie FM07, watching video, and it still feels fine. Just lag a bit when WMP loads the codecs, but that's all.

you can also install vista by mounting the iso using any dvd emulator software..
no need to burn..

If you want to install a clean version, better burn it. And usually it want to load files during DOS mode, when the emulator is not working

me myself dont have a dvd burner and i dont have any problem while installing vista..
another thing.. during dos mode.. all files already copied to your hard drive.. so nthing to worry about that..
