I agree, vista is great, I’m running vista-64bit on my new computer and it seems very quick and responsive, It manages memory so much better. It actually loads your commonly used programs into memory upon boot so when you click on the programs they launch instantly, this is why most people complain it takes up too much memory. I can see this causing problems for people under 2gb though. Its smart to use the memory as its much faster than a hard drive. Performance is awesome with 4gb. Microsoft did a great job!

so you like 64 huh? I was thinking about installing it but was hesitant as I heard there were still a lot of driver conflicts. I’d love to run 16gb of memory (I think the top tier version of vista 64 allows something crazy like that). For the price of memory these days, it wouldn’t be “too” costly… probably overkill though. Have you run into any problems?
I also read that some 32bit applications run a little slower too as Vista has to use an API layer to translate it to a 64bit usable format. Not sure if thats true or not though
anyone know if it’s possible to dual boot 32bit and 64bit?
