I liked it, worked just as fast as xp on my pc BUT i couldnt get my sound control panel software installed so i couldnt tweak my sound to make it sound better, plus my webcam didnt work either, so i switched back to xp

well i dont have any probs like that with mine, vista does use alot of memory to run so its probably slow because your hardware isnt up to the job

Your spec is higher than mine and mine runs vista ultimate with no probs its opens web sites fine and all programs work ok the only prob i did have was with some old drivers that wouldnt work so i cant understand why it didnt work on a more powerfull machine like yours.
