vista's minimum requirement to run freely is 2gb afaik.

On 1gb ram, it runs fantastic on vista, mine is 3gb. It's not the ram that really matters tough, when it comes to Vista. I noticed that vista ran much faster when I upgraded my video card from a 128 mb to a 512mb video card.... Because it is a more graphics intensive OS...the more memory on the video card, the faster the graphics render and load. Therefore, making the OS appear faster. But, having more RAM doesn't hurt either...

same old problem I notice from build 7000,7100,7127

Well, I'm back to Win 7 (RC Build 7100). MS kept emailing me about it plus an expiration date of June 1, 2010 is hard to ignore.

where do i download a good copy of Win7?

**rion** · June 4th, 2009 03:05 AM

you could get it free with your windows live free account or you can get it on *******s. I'd prefer mininova, basta read the user's comments before downloading...

Some notes on installation of Win 7 RC......

04:30 pm - Booted with Win 7 cd, did a quick format, expanded/copied files to hard drive

04:42 pm - Reboot

04:45 pm - Completed install, reboot

04:46 pm - Setup continued

04:48 pm - First boot to desktop

04:55 pm - All done.

I spend the next 30-40 minutes downloading/installing any latest drivers, apps, and games.

Not bad.

The copy issue where no progress shows has been fixed along with the slowdown issue. All the gadgets work.

The issue with Symantec software has also been fixed.

Looks good to me.

I have read in another forum that Windows 7 is to be released officially on October 22, 2009...hope by then all issues and drivers will be stable and available by then specially since I want to use it on my laptop...

As for external devices.......

It took a bit to find my Belkin USB WiFi G adapter. But, it was found and works. Win 7 also found/installed drivers (printing and scanning) for my old HP 4100 series printer minus all that crap that came with the HP cd.

Also, I used a DVD-RW disc to copy the Win 7 iso image to and it worked great. No wasted DVD-R.

Just about the only driver I installed myself was the latest 3rd-party nVidia GF8xxx driver in lieu of the WHQL one used by Win 7.
