Windows Vista

[Alonzo]

I have the final pre release version. I thought XP was a memory hog. Vista is absolutely glutonous. I have 1 gig memory and XP runs like a champ with a demanding online game like EVE. But Vista runs slower because of the constant swapping of virtual memory on the HD.

As for vid cards, top end card here. Vista still runs like a pig. 2 gig ram is probably the minimum you should have if you run a graphics intensive online game program like EVE.

Also, be sure to have a power supply with lots of excess. That will help the machine run smoothly with less heat buildup.

BTW, I build my own machines. Only one I ever bought was my first. Had it strewn all over the living room by the third day seeing what made it tick. :chainsaw:
