erm how much disk space is taken for a fresh vista ultimate installed?
i wonder it really uses up to 40gb, what i plan is allocating 20gb for vista partition like my current winxp which is 10gb for the windows n programs only, i usually store my data on other partition pls advice, thanks |

QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Nov 20 2006, 10:47 PM) I use 15GB for mine   QUOTE(disket @ Nov 21 2006, 01:03 PM) I installed Vista on a spare 20GB HD I had lying around. Used up about 9GB after installing Vista Ultimate. thanks for ur kind reply  guess that 20gb should be adequate for vista, i really doubt the 40gb suggested in the requirement  |

for all sifu who ran aero glass effect on vista ultimate,
i heard it's around 600+ MB ram usage when 1st start up on vista ultimate w aero glass enable, does this true? i really wonder does 2gb takes effect on me, i never play games or do ram intensive task, the max i'll do is browsing website with lots of tabs and chatting which maximum consumes around 500MB i got 1gb on my R60 now, my current windows xp start up ram usage is around 250MB, and maximum ram i used is around 750MB all sifu pls advice  and merry christmas too  This post has been edited by wtm0325: Dec 15 2006, 07:21 AM |

QUOTE(rayfoo @ Dec 15 2006, 08:51 AM) for your usage , 1gb will be enough , i have 1gb and run a number of things the most it takes up about 700mb , but still if u got chance to get more ram , go for it, your system will be have noticebly improvment for sure ! QUOTE(linkinstreet @ Dec 15 2006, 10:59 AM) MEh, I really need to get Mod fix up the 1st post a million thanks to rayfoo and linkinstreet, guess that i can stop the fire of upgrading to 2gb now, will either stick to 1gb or maximum 1.5gb Some info that lazy ppl tend not to read in the prior post - YOU DON'T ASK FOR LINK IN HERE!!!! - Starting with RC2, you need 1GB of RAM for Aero to start taking effect - You CAN install Vista on at least a PIII Machine. It has been done - The slowness of teh system is not the OS's fault. It's because ppl are too lazy to turn off the effect and such - Flip 3D and Aero effects does not consume more resources and energy. It uses even less than the 3rd party software that can create the same effect on XP machine. This is due to DWM (Desktop Windows Manager) that renders these effect in the background instead of rendering it on the spot - The navigation system are designed after years of research on how ppl uses the PC and feedback by the beta testers (which many you can find here in this thread). If you don't like it, don't use it. - THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A VISTA CERTIFIED MOTHERBOARD!!!! - The full release is at the end of January. DON'T ASK ANYMORE!!!! |
