Clear for Vista but, XP Pro Svc. Pack 2, working well.

Why take the risk? We know M$ all too well.

Think I'll hang around awhile, then perhaps, upgrade.

because Vista RTM is already way more secure than XP sp 2. Also, more features, helluva faster... and hasn't crashed on me yet (tho XP never really did either) I got my soundcard to work using XP drivers, so I'm all set!

I am running the Final Build of Vista and am somewhat satisfied. It is somewhat of a memory hog (@ 42% right now running Firefox, Outlook 2007 and a few services). Other than some program incompatibility its good.

My system specs:
Intel Pentium 4 @ 2.4 GHz
2 HDD's (250 gb SATA and 40 gb IDE)
2 GB of RAM
PNY GeForceFX 5700 (latest beta drivers, and soon to overclock it to 600mhz GPU and 1000 Mhz memory)

Intel integrated graphics..i really should get my self a real graphics card soon....i have an open pci slot to i think...i also should upgrade my memory..but what do you guys think

No way I'm going to buy Vista...it has NSA back door as well as their own backdoor...more holes for hackers to exploit!

This will tell you how well your system can deal with Vista

Reese, just curious... what kind of flash drive are you using for the speed boost? It says both of mine aren't good enough for it :/. One is a 128 MB and one is a 1 GB. I wonder if it would work with my iPod in disk mode lol.

Isn't there always a way?

I'll be purchasing a legal copy when I can...but not until I upgrade my PC (again) and get a DX10 card.

Yeah, I got it working when I reformatted it now, and now I decided to stop using it because you are right... it will probably lower the life of it, and I don't want to have to get a new one lol. After I disabled readyboost it like renamed the files that readyboost added to weird names and corrupted my flash drive (good thing I didn't have anything on it lol). I am doing a format now, so that will fix everything.
