vista isnt bad actually

[Raffaz]

i just installed vista lite on my laptop after the success on my desktop. the fact that the power options dont work for s**t and the toshiba power saver doesnt wanna work means the battery life isnt too good which is a big problem. apart from that its ok. i like this much better than the normal vista

Wheres that from mate, any links? I might have to check it out.

it is running on my laptop
intel pent M 512mb ram and a 8.5gb partition for it and it runs well , obviously my ram is a bit limited so if i open like 3-4 progs it will start lagging but i have ie 7 with about 5 tabs and wmp player open and all is fine

Vista Lite runs with no problems. I think I've figured the source of lock ups...the AGP controller drivers.

Ubuntu has no problem on multiple processor systems

Good to hear! I might give it a go. I'll probably stick to Vista lite, as it is a little better for software inventory, but Ubuntu might replace it with a hit. It just depends on how it works with Cedega.

But it's good to hear that.

Hmmm, thats certainly true for XP mate, but vista can support 8gb of RAM, and a wopping 32 GB for 64bit. Now most people arent gonna need that but if your like me and run loads of virtual machines etc then its not overkill.

I've got 32bit vista and my PC's mobo supports 4GB RAM, does that mean I could upgrade to 3 or 4GB RAM and not have stability issues as I would in XP?
