An update on my Vista progress...
I've been running it alongside my XP machine for the last couple of months. I finally switched over completely last week. Transferring all my mail and files was easy enough although Dreamweaver had some trouble importing my site definitions and I had to quickly upgrade to CS3 to sort that out.
Vista (so far) on a brand new machine is much slower than my old XP machine which was less than half as powerful. I find that running Dreamweaver CS3 alongside Outlook 2007 makes the machine crawl and often Firefox takes forever to bootup. I'm hoping that SP1 will sort most of these issues out.
I've got an Intel Core 2 Duo (6600), a 750 GB SATA Hard drive and an nVidia 8800 PCE-E card. Now I've only 1GB of Crucial Ballistix Ram and VISTA is a memory monster even with a lot of visuals turned down.
The only weakspot there is the RAM so I have another 4GB on the way. Hopefully this will get the speed back to acceptable levels. |
