no problems running it, but there is one thing weird regarding my system which i do not really know whether it is caused by my drivers or not:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=810803&hl=

that is the only problem, the rest run quite smoothly, Vista really shines on 4GB, and to utilize 4GB, x64 is the way to go

4GB is an overkill for me. Currently using 3GB. Can't reply to your thread, have no idea. PS: I don't play games neither do I do encoding.

just started using vista ultimate 32bit.....
not too familiar with it yet.....

Vista Ultimate 32-bit user for NOW...
gonna format it and install Vista Business 64-bit...

Before you format, please make sure that you have all the 64-Bit drivers.

thanks. tht quite cleared it up for me, hope u didnt make up that one. i'll bear tht in mind. anyway didnt rly ever heard of MCE b4.

y is it an overkill. is it nt good to hv 4 over 3gb?




sry ,nother question. if ulti= home+business, what is its advantage over just business? if nt significant, i might b better of wit js biz ed. tht's js a weird equation for user coming from xp ship since home is subset to xp pro (heck pro was way more 'efficient' than home for essential networking/connectivity then). well, js trying to understand the basic b4 goin for purchase , original ofc since only these things r allowed

hv a nice day.

MCE = Media Center Edition...

essentially a XP Pro with some media capabilities...

4GB is limited to 3+GB if u re using 32-bits OS... u'll need 64-bits OS to fully utilize the 4GB... else it's always the more the merrier...

simply...

Home Basic = no Aero, no Media Center, no backup function
Home Premium = got Aero, got Media Center, no backup function
Business = got Aero, no Media Center, got backup function
Ultimate = got Aero, got Media Center, got backup function, and better networking capabilities

I just love my Ultimate 64bit. Loads faster than my 32 bit.

Currently running on Vista Home Premium 32bit.

Btw do you duys update SP1? Is it necessary? Because my sound driver (SigmaTel HD Audio) isn't compatible with the update so until now haven't update it.

Yes, we'd recommend to update to SP1 as most of us have done it unless your very sure it'll cause problems for you. May we know your audio card model? Maybe I can help your locate a driver that is SP1 capable and is compatible with your audio card?

shiate....biz ed. reqs better netwkg capabilities too instead of js reserved for only ulti ed....sheesh, wat were they thinking....make more money, ofc im aware of tht

I'm using Dell Inspiron 1420 here.
Last time I checked Microsoft's website as the Windows Update doesn't shows up the option to install SP1.
There's a list of non-compatible hardwares, and the SigmaTel sound is one of 'em.



The suggested solution would be wait for the manufacturer to came out with a new driver, but I can't find a suitable one from Dell or SigmaTel's website.

For this I'm still stick with SP0 Vista.... If anyone could help me sort this out I'll be glad.

i think it's a better idea that u hunt for the drivers urself rather than to wait for Dell...

in fact SP1 is nothing that big... it's juz a package with all the cumulative updates since day 1 of Vista...

Now running Vista Ultimate 64 bit on my new desktop Happy with it.

Those are are using QuadCore should run Vista 64bit. This OS is more optimized for multicore CPU.

i need some input for users who is currently/previously using Vista Ultimate 64bits (upgrade/downgrade) from/to Vista home premium.

how you rate vista ultimate 64bits?

Currently im using Home premium 32bits. M thinking upgrade to ultimate 64 since i have 2x2gb ram, and i feel it will be a waste for not fully utilizes the ram.

smoother, more stable, no BSOD at all compared to 32-bits...

anyone experience photoshop installer error??
using vista home premium

using both Vista 64 and 32 ..

but dunno why avira av keep my vista 64 machine crash when it updating

Just recently upgraded to 64bit for my gaming machine. Not much difference except that i can use all 4GB of my RAM now. Download machine will only use XP 32.
