vista is the most annoying os ever!
it give me alot of driver problem..
killed my bluetooth module
it hog system like hell..unless u got 2G ram+dual core

i m using it..on laptop 2G+core2duo...so it is still slow

it feel like crap..
the only good thing about vista is when u install vista it is very fast!
did i say it look good also?
yea..it does..but i rather not..
i ady hit 7ooMB without running game...
if run game like supreme comander...sure die liao...maybe need to use pendrive /HDD swapn memory..

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:

i got no problem with vista...if for normal usage la...surf, movie, mp3...etc tec
but for work/game...i rather use xp for the time being.

Added on May 28, 2007, 2:03 pmjust found out tht vista is wrapping all the audio driver n run it on OS...which mean Microsoft removal the hardware audio abstraction layer for Vista

http://www.creative.com/press/releases/welcome.asp?pid=12683

1st, since there is a hardware sound card processing, why the hell bother the CPU to process? I personally think this is not a wise choice.

2nd Does it mean the MS trying to monopoly the sound card market too?

about the problem i encounter...i need to turn of my sound card enhanced features...at control panel>sound props



This post has been edited by Humping^Panda: May 28 2007, 02:03 PM

wow......
So much agenda behind the sound card..
but so far i havent encounter any problem with sound card..for game too

creative still insist using their own driver instead of Vista
no reason to buy creative if cannnot use the feature and need to follow vista standard.

no need to update the driver... all u need to do is to turn off the hardware enhanced features."disable all..." need to allow the vista to use their driver only.(my case atleast)

for the creative user u can snatch the vista driver by using creative ALchemy software.
this software will allow the driver rights given back to creative's.

MS own the world....

u need to close your sound hardware enhancement.
i think tht will do..
ASUS driver wont a thang
the reason u having this problem is tht the VISTA is forcing everyone to follow their "so call AUDIO standard"...the VISTA is not using your SoundMAX Audio Driver.VISTA is using their own.
so dont even bother to update your driver. go to sound props then turn off your hardware sound enhancement...cheers! welcome to best buggy vista.

so good lor...
1. i didnt mislead anyone...bcoz vista really force everyone to follow the audio standard.
2.i didnt mislead u...without update your driver..u also can solve your problem.
well the best you update...not every sound card does support vista yet.
and tht is your soundcard..u shud google bf you post.shud i just post "update your driver la"?..u wont knw why the problem exist rite?

so after update your driver..u still got any cracking/lag not?

sorry i am not going to lick as s and saying how good/bad...if it is bad then i will say it is bad.if it is good then i will say it is good.

no..i didnt mislead u.

SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

Microsoft Windows Vista build 5308 uses Windows Update (herein called WU) to get the latest drivers for the SoundMAX chipset. These drivers stutter, hiss, snap, crackle, and pop, nonstop and do not have support for digital audio. This is an improvement over 5270 where you had to find your own drivers, AND it was impossible to get digital audio.

1. Download these drivers and extract them to a folder somewhere with WinZip.
2. Open Device Manager (Control Panel | System | Hardware | Device Manager) find the entry for the SoundMAX, and update its driver with the one in the \SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\ directory that you just extracted.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Open Control Panel | Audio Settings | SoundMAX | Properties. In the 'Other' tab uncheck the first entry and check the second for digital audio. If you have analog speakers, leave both unchecked.
5. If sound quality is not that great, try changing the Format settings in that last tab on the page. Try going up or down until it works out.... I have this card and was quick to replace it... Time to get a new sound card if you are still having issues
6. Vista will tell you that Windows Update has found newer drivers. Ignore it or you'll lose the sound!

plz try at your own risk ..not sure will work or not...scan for viral too.

i already post this mer....after argue with vista hardcore.They all like the vista standard so much..

xp the best
