Vista Ultimate: From a Forumz User

Vista Ultimate x64 on my Main rig:
Specs:
Intel X6800 @3.996GHz
OCZ Platinum Series 4GB (4 X 1GB) DDR2 800 @ 5-5-5-15
XFX GeForce 7950GX2 - For testing out DX10 I borrowed a 8800GTX
22 in CRT





To tell you the truth, I never thought it would tax my rig as much as it did. TM CPU and RAM usage read higher than I've ever seen, even in the RC's and the RTM. And keep in mind this is a relatively clean machine.

Vista Ultimate on my Laptop:
Specs:
Intel T7600 @ 2.33GHz
Standard 2GB (2x1GB) DDR @ 4-4-4-12
Go GeForce 7800
17in TFT 1440 Display





If you are going to run Vista on your laptop, be sure that our system can handle that weight. Bare minimums work but will frustrate even the most long suffering user.

Thanks Ninja. What happened to the Start button? Is that part of an included theme?

WHat modifying app do you use - Wincustomize work on vista?

Here's Stardock's Windows Vista roadmap.

Ninja's start button is similar to the one I use for XP but mine doesn't have the text. I got it at CrystalXP.net. The Vista orb looks a lot better than the ugly XP default start button but I still prefer my previous one.
