Two-thumbs up to Microsoft for releasing Vista SP1...

I downloaded the 434Mb version for my Home Premium 32bit....

It took about 50 minutes to download and about 1 hour to install....

It went smooth as butter. After the restarts, my Vista is far more...

1. Responsive
2. No more Media Center crashes
3. Menus in Start Menu open up instantly


Problems? None for me so far... It was as good as I expected. Also, my resource monitor on my Windows Sidebar is pretty amazing... CPU #1 and CPU #2 always less than 10% while RAM is at 40%



Now must download for my Ultimate 64bit...


Before that, its time to apply this service pack on my dad's spanking new HP Pavilion tx1000...

Upgraded to SP1.. now Vista can see 4GB.

no its not, just open task manager and see, total the physical memory still stuck at 3325mb lol.

So is it recommended to install SP1?

yape very fast.. u use WU or standalone installer... i use WU... after WU finish download.. install in WU took about 3mins then it request u to restart... when u shuting down it will install 3 process (first 1 is longest, 2nd 1 very very fast and 3rd 1 is medium slow) ..overall took me ~10mins only...

below is the proof of compatible program (red box).... hehe.. wanted to open more but lazy already....

what am i supposed to notice after SP1 installation? feels like the same only...

ati catalyst control a bit unstable..

sleep mode.
multi monitor etc.

just update to SP1.....but cant see any noticeable improvement....

my sidebar still cant load certain gadgets properly especially those from hobbylounge

yeahh, i think so
i leave my pc idle & it turn off
when i resuming, it turn to Bsod suddenly..
aint try the ATi thinggy yet..

I wonder which one is correct..



71 MB or 427 MB? o.O

All systems green on my BenQ S41 so far.



At least i'm not having any RAM detection problems like kur0gan3.

Me downloading the 434MB one now in office, go back install it on my comp~

eh, whats the difference between the standalone and the WU? After installing its the same issit?

Standalone includes ALL the important bug fixes from before + SP1, while the Windows Update way will detect what patches you have already and then download only the ones that you don't have.

For those with software problems after installing SP1 why not do a clean install.

planning to do so although i've not yet install sp1 in my current system

At last....

why there is "Upgrade Windows Vista" wording on some screenie as shown by some members here?

i dont have the wording.. -.-
