but if I already receive the package but not upgrade till the right time issit possible?

any of u guys using readyboost? anycomments? i'm using 2gb mini sd for ready boost and i dont see no diff at all.

According to benchmarks I read online, the performance increase will only be noticeable if you have 512MB RAM (or less) installed on your PC. There's little performance increase on 1GB & 2GB system, and no performance increase at all if you have 4GB of RAM.

On Gamespot.com, there actually a decrease in performance if you set your ReadyBoost size to 4GB.

Guys, I wanna ask, where is a good place to buy a copy of Vista Biz edition?

Can buy at Low Yat Plaza.. Cheapest place will be Sri Computer at LYP

I looked at the PDF files on lowyat's main page. Biz edition is going for RM485.. Not cheap leh.

Hello guys,issit true that for the oem version, we can only activate our key for 3 times and after that we have to call them to activate ?

Normal mah bro..Wat u expect..


No la..U can still call microsoft if u cannot activate online

So its true that online activation can be done 3 times only ? Yeah and one more thing, my comp sometimes restart by itself when i leave it on for a few hours.. do u guys have similar problems to mine ?

15 days of none shutdown usage and counting here

No, not true for me. I activated it many many times.

My friend had that restart problem when he leaves it idle for few hours. However, my laptop shows no sign of restarting even after few days.

hie guys, i'm running vista ultimate and my rig is as what's posted on the sig.

i'm having a prob with it. Every once in a while (ie 10 mins, sometimes 30 mins) my hard disk activity jumps to an insane amount to the point everything slows down. Movie becomes still frames pictures.. This happens when i have new files on the computer (ie download stuff from torrents). Is this normal or is it because some program is running? checked the performance monitor and it shows my harddisk activity at 100% and it's usually one file that's being access the most. KAV does not show any antivirus scan running and there's no virus detected on the pc.

Please help me as i'm pretty worried about my harddisk lifespan due to the excessive harddisk activity. and it's pretty annoying when things slows to a stop while doing work.

Nothing related to Vista I suppose. Check the HDD cabling, some might loosen

Has anyone tried running MS Visual Studio 6.0 on Vista? Was it successful?

uhh okay, nowonder, then actually quite useless loh readyboost. coz vista users normall have 1gb ram and above.

Yeah im having this problem also, wat do u think might be the problem ?

What software do u use? Face the same problem as i was using Azerues ( it was hogging my system due to heavy utilisation of Java ). The problem had since gone away after i switch to none Java programs,..ie uTorrent.
