haha..of course..

Athlon 64 already enough. not necessary opteron

u r right...i tried it b4...Muz use USB Thumb drive or USB Flash Memory to boot up pc RAM...then i tried to install Card Reader n use memory card to boot up my RAM...but cant...so tis means we muz use USB Thumb drive/USB Flash Memory to boot up RAM...

wanna ask..how do you create a dual boot environment? wanna try out vista while i'm still using my windows XP pro

the 5231 version have this function already or not? if got then i wanna reinstall n check it out. last installation expired after 14days then cannot use already. can't get 5270 cuz beginning from next week go back home holiday no internet access pula.

since i see on your sig you have 4 HDD, you just empty one of them and install Vista on that HDD then boot from that HDD using bios.

another option is to create a new partition and install vista on it but i feel this is more hassle.

hi there....
i hav a kinda noob question to ask.....
o yea... n tis question is for those who using ati GC to run vista.....
do i need to install d LDDM driver????
n afta installing it what do i hav 2 do...
n i m using d build 5270 vista....

which driver is newer????
LDDM or WDDM...

That build already comes with the latest LDDM driver. No need to do anything. If your ATI GC is DX9 compatible, you will see Aero enabled right from the start.

LDDM = Longhorn Display Driver Model ; WDDM = Windows Display Driver Model

Read more about those here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvi...tahardware.mspx

how can i uninstall vista???
do i juz format the partition where vista is installed???

for windows vista build 5270
jus format the partition tat u installed windows vista
then at windows xp open Command Prompt...
type "cd\" enter
type "cd boot" enter
then type "fixntfs -xp" enter
now goto My computer>C:\ n delete "Boot (hidden)" folder
now u r able to boot ur pc directly into xp
(usually to edit boot with windows vista 5270 is use BCDEDIT in Vista drive using winxp CMD, but BCDEDIT is quite hard to work with if u donno to use)
for information about BCDEDIT pls goto Microsoft BCDEDIT site


for previous version of Windows Vista 5270:
jus format the vista partition
then right click on My Computer n choose "properties"
at System Properties goto "Advanced"
under Startup and Recovery select "Settings"
at the "default operating system" select "Microsoft windows xp.........."
then select Edit
at Boot-Notepad paste tis in
or delete the row after "multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect"

and close the notepad n save it...

Latest News:
In the ever-changing release schedule for Windows Vista, nothing stays constant. But according to internal Microsoft documentation, the following dates are correct for the next several major milestones in the product. Currently, Microsoft plans to ship the feature-complete internal build on January 31, 2006, and then ship a near-feature-complete Community Technology Preview (CTP) build to testers on February 17. (To date, more than 50 product teams have submitted code for the feature-complete builds.) Windows Vista Beta 2 is due on April 12, followed by a release candidate (RC) build in July and release to manufacturing (RTM) in August. Assuming this last date is met, the general release of the product will occur in October.

really hope it will come out fast.... , i already get new pc for him.

Let the Vista come out officially....................
