Specs

amd 5400 x2 processor
3 gig of ddr2 800 ram in duel channel mode
2 300 gig sata drives.
2 ati 1950 gpu's
Creative labs Xfi sound card.

All tested and working.

Runs like crap on Vista ultimate

Runs superb on XP, Linux, windows media centre, and server 2003. It never crashes or blue screens on these Os's

So why does it run like a dog on Vista, Why does it blue screen on vista, Why does stuff that worked fine on XP not work on vista. The list goes on. Oh and btw i have tried 32 and 64 bit versions of vista there both CRAP.

I think Microsoft have done another Windows ME
Works fine here on the following....
Intel c2d e6420
p965 chipset
1.5GB RAM DDR800 (generic)
250GB sata II drive
Geforce 7950GS
Onboard sound

Not only does it work fine but it works considderably faster than XP did on the same system. I have found that Vista basic on my single core laptop only just works ok, it used to be horrific when I only had 512MB but now ive got 2GB its better, though if I'm honest I think dual core should be a requirement for vista. Unless Im wrong and its just my laptop that suffers?

By the way how do you get 3GB in dual channel? Sureley thats 3 1GB sticks in single channel? I thought you needed pairs of sticks to run dual channel?
