is Vista quite stable now? My rig is old:

P4 631 3.0 Ghz
2 Gig DDR2 667 RAM
Aopen Nvidia 6600 256MB DDR2
160 GB HDD
250 GB HDD

Will vista ultimate (i only have this edition - got it free) runs smoothly or at least my rig will survive?

My pakteh bought it last week (RM670) at Seremban..but then he bought another computer..apple mac I think. So I asked him if I could use it temporary.. but luckily he said " Ko amik jela guna" So happy lo save my money.

I tested the advisor program and it advised me vista business (but I only have ultimate). Hopefully my rig will run it smoothly..

Will buy another C2D PC this sept. or should save money and upgrade proc to Pentium D instead?

Hoho..successfully installed Vista ultimate on my old rig..now running very smooth.. only my graphic section score low 3.8..other parts 4.5 and 5.5..

for case like adriankhoo153, i also think its codec problem..I use K-Lite codec full and everything's Ok but my friend on vista basic had problems like adriankhoo153...but after reinstall..everything Ok.

Beside Nero 7 latest build, Ashampoo Burning Studio 6 is also simple and good with vista coz i'm using it r8 now.

I think 1Gb is the minimum & should be enough. But 2GB or more is considered to run Vista ultimate smoothly as Vista uses the memory more efficient than XP.

Added on April 9, 2007, 12:08 amHave u try the vista advisor before upgrading? Coz the program can advise on some hardware or software/drivers in your rig that might have problem or 'issue' when upgrading to vista.

Sound card I dunno..but from what I read on the net & forums, some may face a soundcard driver issue with vista.

Yup..2Gb RAM will make vista ultimate smoother. I use vista ultimate on my old Pentium 4 631 3Ghz..and runs smooth.

Hmm..you can try TweakVI 'Basic' (only basic edi is free).

Woo..I deleted this files before coz I dont realized earlier on the message 'you can free up to 102 GB etc" on C:\ when my C;\ is just 50 GB. Then all of my vista configurations, shortcuts, some system files etc are gone! Tried to reboot but no success. Then I have to re-install. Well this is my experienced after deleting those files. Anyway, I still dont know what is the function of this 'system/user per queued files' for.

(maybe those files are left unticked by default for a reason when system cleanup finised analyzed.)
