i'm using build 5231.

PF usage is seriously scary. in XP only playing high end games only page file will exceed 1GB. in vista normal app already 1GB ++ ... wondering will this improve on official release or not.

i managed to install the LDDM driver and now all the effect is running smoothly, unlike previously. just that the LDDM driver also cant provide proper Direct 3D function. Chess cant be played wif details.

5231 take many memory when running...5270 is faster
im using p4 2.8GHz HT and 256mb ram to test vista 5270...jus a little bit slow when start up...other than tat all run faster than pre build...
then i test out with my another machine which is P4 2.8GHz HT and 1GB ram...is dam dam fast when start up n run other things else...kinda smooth enough...

many ppl cant enable DWM in vista 5270 by registry key n TweakVista
i found a way to enable it:

old registry:
HKEY_local_machine/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-CheckMachine (dword) (0)

New registry key:
HKEY_current_user/Software/Microsoft/DWM
-Animations (dword) (1)
-AnimationsShiftKey (dword) (1)
-Blur (dword) (1)
-Glass (dword) (1)
-UseAlternateButtons (dword) (1)
-UseMachineCheck (dword) (0)

after add in those key...jus restart n u will DWM...
pls take note tat CheckMachineTime changed to UseMachineCheck
pls take note tat HKEY_local_machine changed to HKEY_current_user

=================================================

install WLM beta with other version of OS...den copy MSN Messenger folder in Program Files n paste to Program Files folder in Win Vista
create a shortcut of WLM to Vista desktop n here u go...

how about if 1g of KVR ram and 6600GT?

even my machine below cant run vista smooth. i feel like in slow motion land.

venice E6 is ok for vista.
one thing i feel is that vista require more ram and graphic power + graphic ram to run it smoother. processor don differ much unless you using dual core proc.

1G is just barely enough for normal multi application.

just... "i feel"

yup...u r right...i also feel tat too...vista processor not so important, but RAM n Graphics r important...

are all new windows vista are all inDVD format type ?

yup...is in DVD...but if u download from microsoft connect...it is an iso format

I heard that VISTA will include directx 10 which means all those games that come out later will require directx 10 to play on full detail. Since no GPU right now support directx 10 even 7800GTX.....
Also heard those GPU only come out end 2006, guess i wont buy any right now.

anyone can tell me where to download the windows vista beta version !!!!

The latest 5270 build comes with DX10.

does any1 know wats d minimum n recommended requirement for d windows vista final version??
