Vista, Yea or Nay?

Having problems installing that new stick of memory? Found some great software or having issues with something? Or maybe want to chat about your PlayStation, X-Box, Nintendo, Sega, even your old Spectrum 48k....! Or maybe something you want to sell or acquire (computing related of course!). Let us know here...

Vista, Yea or Nay?

Post by Semmy »

Managed to lay my hands on a free copy of Vista business 32 bit (legally of course) and need to decide if it's worth installing.

Yeah go for it if you have a spekky PC, I have it installed on a AMD Duo Core 5200+ with 2 Gigs of RAM, runs Boinc OK. I installed the Ultimate 32 bit version. Only you will not have a lot of dedicated drivers for items like scanners, printers and such like although it will install universal drivers for basic functionality!
If you want any more info drop me a PM

Personally I'm of the opinion 'if it ain't broke - don't fix it'

I didn't install XP until SP2 came out. Probably do the same thing this time as well!
