well I never noticed the post Seti referred too, but even so
it makes my point even more clear. Snoop got it running and
has not had any trouble .. .he only "heard" of them.

According to MS Vista only shows 3 gig of Ram but supports more.

And I got the 32 bit one as well and apart from the direct sound vs. openGL/VL
which Creative found a rather quick fix for ( Sky found it)
the only problems I had was the useraccount security .. its annoying
and then some old proggies like RvS has to run as administrator.

I havent had a blue screen once .. I had one crash, the first day I got CoD 4.

I recommend it, and I think it can even win some of you MS haters over.

P.S. And finally: I do have it and had it running for 6+ month ...
and btw I got 2003 on the other computer and I hate it.
load of compabillity problems with the small programs from the phone manufactors and such.

yeaa it might run so fast that he miss some posts and points

It might be Monty has it running on 64 bits so the memory isn't the problem.

running where ?... in his dreams ?

and since he are heard/looking for "tweaks" I assume his not happy about std running of Vista !

...... what does it sound like to you ?

"anyone know of some optimization i can do for Vista? Ive heard theres crap on here that will slow things up, and ive tried looking it up but i havent really found anything"

notice "I've heard" .... sounds like second hand (hear say) knowledge to me, what does it sound like to you ?

grtz. Monty

sound like he already did M, and not totally happy about it

There are no problems in Vista .. so buy it.

grtz. Monty

well if we should go in that direction, then i would buy win2003server and tweak it to workstation.
Best thing i done in years

There is one easy 3 step way to get rid of all probs in Vista:

1. Format all hdd's.

2. Sell Vista & buy XP.

3. Install XP.

Now you got rid of all probs in Vista and got few new ones with XP.

Isn't that 50% more then you have right now ?
In my opinion a difference.

well i have 32 bit vista running, which only supports up to 3 gig, i have 2 so that extra gig wont add much if im not mistaken

ram are cheap .... why is that a problem ...

well there is a few things to do !

turn off the build in "index search" machine !
controlpanel->performance & Information->index properties (may be wrong translation of names.... only worked with danish version, but must be close )

when u want to game, turn off Aero and change to Basic, this will also turn off Desktop manager !
The desktop manager uses a lot of gfx resources, even when game are in front.
I bet u will see a big difference if your PC are "on the edge"
in command prompt type: net stop uxsms<return>

else add RAM , lots of RAM, and after that add more RAM

just a few cents top out of the head

and I total disagree with Monty !!
just on the paper, an OS that needs min 1GBram to run are total nuts !!

ok well, short point:

maybe all this security crap is slowing you down .. so disable it, do not forget the phisingfilters ...

grtz. Monty

wow monty...not quite what i was looking for but good none the less
