just a bit of lag
not much anyway

Great to know that
MY fren keep saying that i'll need 2GB of ram as minimum requirement... i am gonna stick with 1GB (poor guy)

well, if ur gamer, u need 2gb, if not, 1gb is sufficient...

ya, this bro is correct
even 1gb, i also feel a bit lag
just imagine
2gb RAM and a mid-ranged GC is recommended, i guess

Won't be using my lappie for gaming i think ... just working stuff.... and multitasking.
It is just insane to get a gaming laptop..

using rc1 to post right now...very good indeed...much have improved over 5384...

That's not true. Microsoft never claims that we need 2GB

I'm running RC1 smoothly with my 1GB rig

i think there is almost no difference between 5600 and 5552 apart from 2 diffefent iso size?
anyone who has used these 2 version pls giv some comments~

tried it already
a64 at 2.3ghz, 1gig ram, 6600gt, wd raptor....quite smooth..no laginess what so ever

apart from the gui, its not really that impressive

im forced to use back XP... cuz tarak vista driver for my wifi adapter...

yaya i am disappointed by the GUI it seems to be more difficult to use compared to xp GUI

Yeah, my fren c0ck me it seems
It is great knowing that 1GB is sufficient to runs it smoothly. Hope the final release will be smoother

Looks better than Beta II i'm using. Damn the ISO is taking too long for me. Anyways, only ATi has issued RC1's graphic driver right? I have to revert to my x600 as my 7600GT keep getting blue screen. The funny thing is, the ones I tested at WCG the other day used 7300GS without any problem.

Hmm...installed my Vista RC1 today. Greeted by a BSOD when installing ATI RC1 driver for the first time. Restart and reinstalled successfully. Move on to install Alcohol 120%. Again a BSOD. Didnt try to install again.

Foobar v0.9.3.1, WinRAR 3.6, BitComet 0.63, Office 11, Windows Live Messenger so far no problem. However can't seem to get ACDSee 7 to work. Sygate Firewall not working. Got some codec issues with WMP 11 after installing the K-Lite Codec 2.76.

Will do further testing later on. For now I will say that I'm quite ok with it. Hard disk space consumption is quite high, more than 10GB gone for a fresh installation. Seems like Vista set page file to about 2GB+ by default.

All virtual drive are no go.
I tried Alcohol, Nero VD and Daemon, all resulted in error. K lite seems to have problem with VSFilter, so I also installed CCCP. Foobar's Colums UI also has some config problem, and many ppl from Hydrogen Audio's forum are having the same problem.

Hmm...then have to wait for awhile. Anyway I manually configure the virtual memory since I got a dedicated hard disk for page file purpose.

However no matter what I set, the partition where I installed Vista will always use the page file available for that particular partition only. It can't seem to recognise my manually set page file. The reported space allocated for virtual memory will always be what I set for the Vista partition, without including what I set in my dedicated hard disk. You guys have problem with this?

yeah, me too. also no matter where you install it, Vista will always makes that drive C:
This was very frustrating for my roomate as he usually installs it in D: and it makes all his shortcut and playlist redundant

ya, 5552 and 5600 has no difference
only different in terms of performance and stability

nvidia released vista beta drivers too
but ati is always ahead of nvidia in vista beta drivers

Haha..pity your friend then. I installed on my previous Win XP partition so no problem for me. If things keep on like this, I'm going to revert back to XP soon. My favourite ACDSee and Alcohol can't seem to work on Vista at the moment.

ACDSee 5 works. But I'm using ACDsee 8, so during this time, i only use CDIsplay. Also, the most suprising thing for me is that IT WON'T INSTALL NORTON INTERNET SECURITY! Windows will always reject it saying it's incompatible
