More bug fixed n sum updates.

Vista 32 only can support up to 2gb ram whereas 64 support 4gb.

I'm using a desktop which has only a Intel Pentium Dual-Core E2200,with 2 GBs RAM.Currently running Vista Home Premium SP1.Is my PC's spec enough to upgrade to SP2?

Depending on hardware configuration, you will get somewhere around 3GB but definitely more than 2GB.... not up to 2GB.

In my case, about 768MB reserved for hardware addressing while another 256MB used for my onboard graphics, leaving approximately 3GB for system use.

I don't know I should upgrade my ram to 4gb or not. Only for gaming and surfing web purposes.
I shall wait for it's final release only update.

i taking the risk installing this sp2

32bit can support until 3.5GB ram not 2GB. I upgraded to 4GB n its sort of a waste.

x64 with RAM 4gig and more is not a waste if you fully utilize it. I myself love hueg RAM to run Ubuntu and Windows XP as guests simultaneously on my Vista Ultimate host.

Here is screen shot of mine...

Get the patch to download update Vista SP2 here ...
After download,right click and choose "run as administrator"
After that,go to windows update and click "check for updates"..
Then a small file size 4.1MB will be download...
After finish download and install the update, click "check for updates" again..
And then windows update will list Vista SP2 Pre-Beta as a update file..

Still no SP2 Beta for x64. Maybe because driver incompatibility liek SP1 last tiem? Edit: On the 2nd try, I managed to get the update for my x64 system. The update is KB948465, sized at 490.8MB - 494.0MB. Is there anybody know the direct link to the download for x64 system?

You know the connection sucks, if update from Windows Update always disconnect one. So by knowing the direct link, I can download use download manager and apply the update manually. More practical.

SP2 makes vista lighter?
anyone can confirm this?

nuthin happen pun in my pc...

Lulz. If nothing happens, then it's good for you lah. You may want to provide a more constructive post by adding details on what actually nothing happens on your PC.

lighter there means faster in term of start up n shut down or when opening game?

Lighter? Sometimes after you install a major update you'll feel that.Test it at least 1 week before making this statement?

Btw i don't know whether Service Pack 2 works well as i'm running on x64. Still no Service Pack 2 for x64 right..
