QUOTE(asellus @ Apr 25 2008, 05:38 PM) SP1 can't be integrated with the Vista disc, at least with the point-and-click ease of nLite used to give with XP and SP2. vLite 1.1.6 RC can slipstream SP1 liao... I already have my Vista x86/x64 with SP1, still, would love to have a copy of mr. linkinstreet Vista SP1 on the Heroes event...   |

QUOTE(Kinitos @ May 3 2008, 01:44 PM) It didn't work well enough on almost all of my existing older PC's probably due drivers and higher hardware spec needed. I'm not quite understand, first you say you already have vista business license then you said cannot do clean install because higher hardware spec needed. how come xp hardware spec is higher than vista? what license key to use trading business? Use the $5 cd license keys? My temp staff all is waiting be 20K richer very soon.  |

QUOTE(yongkailoon @ May 3 2008, 02:19 PM) Perhaps you should read his post again, what he really meant was that the Vista don't work well on his current computers because the specs aren't good enough for Vista and therefore he would like to downgrade it. ahhh... thanks for clearing up my confusion lol. what the spec? I have P4 1.7GHz with 128MB of RAM that can run XP Pro SP3 + Kaspersky 6 Workstation... |

XP won't even lack much with 1 gb RAM.. not lack, it's lag...QUOTE(roy_zu @ May 7 2008, 01:52 PM) My main concern is about the speed and usage of various multimedia softwares like CS3 n all.... Still not fully discovered Vista, so i don't know whether there is any major advantage in vista then XP... no major improvement IMO... but I heard CS4 is going to support 64-bit processor  |

QUOTE(s[H) sIkuA]In Vista x64, any driver that is not properly signed will not work. In 32bit you can ignore it, but in 64bit mode, it will not work at all are you sure dude? there is always a workaround if you do a simple search in google: CODE http://www.xcpus.com/forums/operating-systems/5767-howto-use-unsigned-drivers-under-vista-x64.html |

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Jun 9 2008, 09:26 PM) Nope, you can buy OEM and install on an existing PC, not sure whether that is legal or illegal. If for WinXP, it's legal to install OEM on existing PC, but for Vista... hmmm... not really sure since Vista uses XRML licensing and also check your BIOS for valid OEM BIOS info... |

QUOTE(Shufflerz @ Jul 9 2008, 11:22 AM) After updated to SP1, i though we can fully make used of our 4GB of RAM already. the question is already answered before. and yes, you'll need 64-bit proc to utilize the full 4gb RAM or use the /PAE switch on 32-bit Vista (wikipedia.org for more info)...But ... [attachmentid=522239] So, do I actually need 64bits version of Vista so that I can fully utilize those RAMs? P/s: Sorry if the question already answered before. |

QUOTE(desmond1310 @ Aug 20 2008, 10:23 PM) astria, thanks for the reply. Its quite tempting about such a large amount of RAM for 64 bits.. Thinking to get another 2GB/4GB kit now 4GB is considered OK for 64-bit system. But if you're running some heavy 3d applications, video encoding or CAD/CAM apps, the more RAM you have the merrier I'm so poisoned. BTW, is 4GB of RAM considered a minimum OR perfect OR alot for a x64?And what is WOW64? Does it solve the compatibility issues for 32bits programs? WOW64 is used to emulate 32-bit applications running on 64-bit OS, so it does solve the compatibility issues for almost all 32-bit applications. However, running 64-bit applications would be faster as it support 64-bit instructions natively... |

I tried to install vista on my new rig. when the system try to boot from cd/dvd, the above phrase appears. anyone can help? i tried googled it but got no concrete answer. some say its the ram. but i test my new ram on my frens rig, and it got no problem what so ever.  |
