Of course u need to go online for Vista activation. Alternatif, u can call microsof to activate too

err..so how to do the activation?i mean do i need product key?is the product key will be inside the box or when i online microsoft will detect my product key?

In order to install vista, u need to key in the product key provided in the cd box. After finish installing it will prompt u to activate vista. Just click yes and it will activat for u..

oic..thanks...so in order to install full retail,do i need to reformat b4 installing or juz insert dvd and it will pop up a window to click "install"?

do u have windows vista activation code.........or can u plz get me the code......

Buy the damn thing and you will get it

Vista doesn't come with activation code. It comes with a cd-key. Just get online and start activation at control panel.

zomfglolwtfhahafoadswt..even if u manage to get the cd-key u wont be able to use it if others have already activate it. i think if u activate an already activated cd-key something bad will happen to ur hdd ^^

perhaps monsters will eat the hard disk n vomit out the screws..

they re mainly micromonsters gate version 2.

scary!! better get ori..woot!

dun worry du worry ..even you try to activate an activated cd key ..the most they would do is to block u from updates and the 30days trial is still on ..ur hdd is safe ..lol

but Mickey ..dun be notti ..go ask Uncle Bill Gates to giv u a CD KEY ..lol

Guys, do you all notice something, a top end computer running with Vista is not as fast as I expect, atleast the respond time is a bit, erm... like normal comp with windows only..... My spec is duo core t7200, 2.0 Ghz and 2 GB of ddr2 rams. 320 Gb hdd. It's a brand new laptop and looks like when I swtich on the laptop it still took atleas 1 min fully startup (Unlike win XP with 1Gb or ram, duo core 1.8Ghz took around 30 second)

Anyway Now the main problem is my OS is Vista Ultimate 64 bit version, which causing me a big problem while play game....lots of them can't install or play....

2GB ram is just meet the standard requirement of vista.(regrardless wat they say 1G is enuf.
The more u use vista the faster the system will work.
but this aint come cheap as the hardware need better requirement.(maybe 4G ram)
wat is your index score?

I think the best is you wait for new patch for your game.or better get a 32bit?

since you comparing with xp..
here some reviews:

But then again, if ur using 4GB, you can't use 32bit OS as it only supports up to 3GB. and it will be a lot of wastage as you'r not usually utilising all of the RAMs that you have anyways, unless you're running a server multitasking all teh times

Yeah, However beside games, all other older application are runs fine on Vista as long as they it runs on XP. Perhaps it's the direct X issue on it.

_haha lol i was just scaring mickey away XD

and uhm regarding the ram, if i'm not mistaken it will use full 4gb but just that in the system it will show 3gb instead, no? and wat do u use that will take up 4gb?!?!? open 5 games together?!?!? fifa + nba + cs + maple + dota + some hentai games????

32Bit will only use 3GB, while 64Bit can use up to 128GB of rams. You are just wasting 1GB of ram if ur using 32GB.
And more rams != more open software. You also need the processing power to handle that. heck, I don't think you even need 2GB to open 5 games

try supreme comander! put it on 81kmx81km..

try run adobe photoshop, n 3D rendering..

come on lar.. dont compare with those in the past game
i can run dota on my old pc also.rite?

as i said bf...running vista on normal usage i,s ok...
by the way, i said 4G ram is on vista. AMD64 intel core2 is 64 bit rite?.duh...

Sorry to hear that. My Vista is definately much faster than XP SP2. Could that be due to the 64 Bit version?

My 32bit vista is faster than my XP SP2 too ..i wonder why ..hmm ..

of coz la.. from ur sig we all know u're running with at least 12cores haha

well i also think vista is a bit faster than xp.. & its more responsive..
