Stupid Vista consume too much memory... even if I applied all the customization XP to Vista... still wouldn't be able to beat Vista in is memory consuming segment  Next time I reformat.. will definitely go for Vista again.. this time.. facelifted version from XP *Now I'm waiting for Dreamscene to be emulated in XP...  |
