Info about SP2: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsv...ack-2-beta.aspx

Interesting enough, why does your SP2 build listed as being released in 2007?

That not da built year of sp2 but itis da vista ..

no improvement?
does the SP2 32bit support 4GB RAM liao?

another one here...

there is no way a 32-bits OS, be it Windows, Mac, UNIX or Linux, to support 4GB RAM...

thank for the information,bro...will try later.

kekeke chill bro.

lolz finally i got plan 2 change 2 vista once the SP2 final version is out

I'm using x64, and unfortunately SP2 is not available for x64. Only 1 update is available after applying the trick. Vista SP2 Servicing Stack Update Build 16489 for x64 (KB955430)

SP1 is good for most use now. You may want to use Vista now provided your hardware can support it, i.e. preferably at least dual core CPU and have 2 GB RAM (1GB also can support, but still recommended to have 2GB at least)

Lawl. Can't you see his sig? His rig is more than enough to run a full-blown Vista.

is it wasting if using 4gb ram with vista 32?

another one....

What's the difference between SP1 and SP2?

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..

Got any problems?

So far no problem...
I feel my window a bit "lighter" than before...
But,i just use it for a couple of hours... Need to test it a few days more to see if there are any different from SP1.

third one in this thread...

Right click it and run as administrator. It will work!

Reporting:

Day 6 with sp2 Beta found nothing weird to my system. So far so good..

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..

[attachmentid=661689]

There is SP2 beta for x64 system.

i hate because the watermark..

who use pre beta sp2??how about driver?not face with conflict?interestrd to try..

If you can successfully installed the sp1, then should be nothing to do with the sp2 driver. I am using it now. Vista SP2 Build 16497 for x64, (KB948465) so far so good. hehe..

waiting for final release...
more stable..

SP2 shouldn't conflict with any driver that is supported with SP1 because it just fixes and improves some functionality of SP1. Anyway, it'd be good if the testers provide us their experience when using SP2.

I'm downloading this update now, hope that it works alright for me.

dont forget to provide feedback to us..
everyone here is eager to upgrade..
but most of us waiting for feedback..
the ups and the flaws~~

I won't be posting a review (cause I'm kinda' lazy, maybe I'll post a review later) but here's what I gotta say after downloading and installing it. It installed faster than me installing the "SP1" update. Other than that, there are a few new programs which I don't use.
Btw, I downloaded and installed it on my "testing" rig. The specs are (not much cause I just download and install my crap there and scan it then only I install it on my other computers):
Intel P4 3.0GHz, 2 X 1GB Kingston Value DDR 533MHz, 2 X 500GB HDD SATAII, ASUS P4P800 Deluxe, ASUS nVidia GeForce FX5600XT 256MB.

Can any of you try to run dx10 game in Vista 64?. Dx10 game always crashed on me but dx9 worked like a charm. I'm using Ati 4850 512 mb with 8.11 driver. I wanna see if its a problem and being fixed in SP2.

I don't use Vista 64-Bit but I'm sure that it's an isolated problem. I can't imagine all the Vista 64-Bit users in this world having problems due to the inability to game with DX10. I'd recommend that you update your Vista and your ATi graphics card drivers. Don't use SP2 first, numerous bugs have to be ironed out.

tried running World in Conflict in Vista x64...

no problem in both DX9 and DX10 mode...

sp 1 can detect 4 gb ram lah

can detect, but 32-bits still cannot use all 4GB...

detect != full usage

Yes, the RAM can be detected but can it be fully utilized, no it can't.
