Have you played around with ready boost? I got a new flash drive for work and I'm going to give it a try Monday. I have four gigs now but I just want to see if it will impact my performance.Ty wrote:
Vista is a RAM eater. I suppose if you don't care about that than it's all hunky-dory.
Surely that's a lot slower than regular RAM though?Kmarion wrote:

It doesn't function the same way, but will in fact boost quite a bit. It acts as a temporary storage for dll files (and probably more).ghettoperson wrote:

Ok ...well where to start...how about...Ive had vista dual booted now for about 2 months......BF2142 upgd 1.25 came out ...so I thought why not take the plunge...I booted into Vista installed BF2142 ..then Northern Srike then 1.25....no problems what so ever with the install
Click on start 2142 boots quick looking good...go to options ..set all to high.......8800GTX ... sorted needs to restart....ok...... optimising shaders usually takes 3 - 4 mins......done in just under 2.....game looks awesome....no lag......bring it on...just finished a 2 hour looky nice test ...fast smooth .. very enjoyable...

StokoE = if vista sucks arse on your system...then there is something wrong with your system(maybe I can help)...it runs fine on mine....I get a score of 5.0 on the vista compatability screen
Everything just seems smoother
Only probs i had initally were the creative drivers....fixed now and the Nvidia drivers...also fixed now....
Give it a few more weeks..and I will switch to vista completly
As for Vista tagging your bios.....wrong...just set virus protection in your bios and nothing can be written to it....
If you forgot to do that just reflash..
I have lots of shall we say not completly legal stuff on my PC ......window genuine advantage is on my PC and guess what so is all my dubios content...I also have over 15,000 mp3 tracks...none with drm...lets look ...oh yeah still there....
If I want to switch....I seriously need to do that.

Get lots of RAM and there's no reason as to why it would be any different to XP really.mcminty wrote:
I'll just wait till I get a new computer. I shouldn't worry... this one is beginning to die.
With adequate RAM, CPU, Graphics and hard drive, how would vista stack up for someone using CS3/lightroom for photography?

No need. 1.5GB should be fine. 1GB should be fine....ghettoperson wrote:
