Vista

[Ravang]

I'm wondering would be computer be able to handle Vista (I'm getting 2 gigs of RAM soon), and with Vista can I upgrade it without losing all my XP files like music, videos :-/ And one last question can I play older games on Vista like ones pre-XP :-?

I actully have vista but went back to XP and much happier I like some things about it thought, My other computer is similar to yours and it does fine, once you add the 2 gigs of ram mine however is only a 9600xt card.

One option is dual booting XP and VISTA. This is what I'm currently doing and the set up could not be easier.

For this you need a "full" version of VISTA, not an "upgrade".

Just create a partion on your boot drive and install VISTA on it. VISTA will automaticly take care of the rest.

Make sure you have a large capacity HDD...Vista alone takes around 15GB...With FSX weighing in at another 15GB, you'll be filling up a 30GB HDD in no time

IMHO Vista causes lots of problems, i work for a software company, and vista just does stupid things when we try to do stuff with the software

Not surprised to hear that...
What else do you expect from a 80% new OS

We are starting to get clients who are using vista, and if they don't set to run as administrator it has a dickie fit.... that all topped of with the UAC setting

I expect these will get ironed out, and we will begin to get used to it
