I once installed Vista (but downgraded recently) on my desktop and faced many problems (interface would freeze often, etc...) and I'm wondering if (despite being successful using the Windows-endorsed test) my hardware wasn't compatible:
Processor: 2x Intel Xeon 3.40GHz
Video Card: ATI FireGL V7100
RAM: 2x 1GB DDR2-SDRAM PC2-3200 (200 MHz) - [DDR2-400] with ECC (it's a workstation desktop)
I installed all the drivers...
If not compatible, which component was causing the problems?
If compatible and the problem merely lay in inadequate (unlikely) hardware, I'm thinking of a memory and video card upgrade.
I'm deciding between these two RAM models: Kingston 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR2 400 (PC2 3200) Dual Channel Kit Server Memory and 2x G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory.
And this is the video card on my wishlist.
