1gb ram is barely reach the requirement, programs load time should be slower than xp with 1gb of ram, as the review said, you give vista more ram, vista will give back more performance to you

That is bcoz u only make it "sleep" by clicking the "Turn Off" button. To fully shut it down, u need to click the arrow beside the "Turn Off" button, then click Shut Down.

Go beyond Vista.

It's time to get a Mac. If you're thinking of upgrading to Vista, you'll
probably need a new computer. Why not get a Mac? It's simpler, more secure,
and way more fun. And it works with the stuff you already have, like
printers and cameras. So before you upgrade anything, you owe it to yourself
to check out a Mac.

Recently, i just read one of users' review from newegg.com regarding Windows Vista 32bit. some info to discuss:
1. For gaming user:Vista does load up very large memory space. And when running games application, the memory available become very low.
2. DirectX 10 is still in Beta stage which mean there is possibility there some bugs within the application.
3. For user with no gaming desire: Vista loaded start up program much more faster than XP did.
4. Vista is very interactive and easy to use.
5. A matter here is that, when to to switch to Vista.

Irenic with your hardware spec, do you notice any improvement at all when you use the readyboost feature? Any difference between 512MB vs 1 GB vs 2 GB?

Plan to get a flash drive for readyboost purpose tongue.gif so just want to get more opinions. biggrin.gif

Just be careful. The current batch of flashdrive is pretty slow. Read reviews that 2 of the fastest thumbdrive for VISTA is ADATA PD7(not found here, I think, never seen it in LYP pricelist) and a new Kingston thumbdrive which is especially enhanced for VISTA.

Don't just buy any thumbdrive or you'll be dissapointed. maybe wait a little while and get one that is fast enuff for VISTA.

(1) I think you must understand how VISTA works. VISTA works very differently from XP. It'll try to grab everything for the O/S and then allocate accordingly. But i don't see any difference when i run BFME2, almost same amount used about 600+MB or so in VISTA and XP.

There's a parameter showing free blocks or memory, something like that in the Vista Task Manager and it always show very low free blocks. This doesn't mean ur PC is out of memory, VISTA is simply doing it's job and make sure your memory get used, not sitting there being "free" and goyang kaki. smile.gif

(2) So far run only 3 games...so can't really comment got bug or not, but so far so good.

how many RAM u have? Is the gaming experience better or worse than XP ?

and can we still use directsound/EAX thingy (run under legacy DX9 EX driver in vista) in games?

I always feel that superfetch has almost crammed all of available physical memory just to fit in those frequent programs, but consider games size is huge compare to user apps, i wonder how superfetch will deal with games

I hear that Vista cannot play "Ahem" Games, as it will block it, is it true?

Desktop windows management in theory should able to detect that you're playing a 3D game and turn off all eyecandies automatically, freeing available rams for you to use. But caution, some games that are RAM and Processor intensive like Football Manager bypass this as it does not depend on 3D usage, thus it can be really slow, ecspecially durng off season when the game want to crunch all the league standings around the world.

EAX i think can still be supported.
