How will Vista run?

[Buddy4point0]

i dont think its gonna work so great with that ram.

Ok here: I've got both Vista and XP (I installed them on different partitions. Can you say two computers in one? ) These are my PC Specs that runs Vista Nicely (except my graphics card)

4 CPU 3.00GHZ Processor
2.5 GB of RAM
ATI X300 Graphics card (BLEH!)

Let me tell you Vista in incompatible with EVERY PC GAME IN MY LIBRARY. Anything from 2005 down most likely WILL NOT RUN ON VISTA.

why not just run them in compatability mode

All my games run fine on vista, I have no idea what the hell you're talking about

I tried that. It didn't work, which forced me to have to reformat my comp in order to make another partition to run them.

I don't even know why they include compat mode, it DOES NOT WORK. It never has on Vista, i doubt it ever will.

Doom doesnt even work. My internet card is incompatible with Vista, for goodness sake. Fable, FFVII, Serious Sam... nothing.

bad luck i guess. compataility mode works great for me. and ive never had any problems with anythign vista

Aw man.....is it possible that there was an update for Vista that caused these changes? Because I can't get updates seeing as my internet card in incompatible...

Some times I think the question is not "how well will my computer run vista?" but rather "how well will vista run?"

It isnt unusual for microsofts new OS's to suck for a couple of months after release. XP was unusable garbage to many until service pack releases and a lot of updates.

Dangit... I have a NETGEAR WG311T card that supposedly has a Vista compatible Driver 5.0. I Installed it, but when I click to configure it, the computer does nothing at all. WTF is wrong with Vista?!

PS: Thx Buddypoint I got a Vista compat update, but it had no effect on my graphics card. My games on the other hand run "well"

Personally, i won't even consider touching Vista until SP1 comes out. Windows XP serves all of my needs perfectly right now.

My comp works great with 1 gig on vista, combined with a good video card and your good. If you thik you need more ram after instaling vista then buy some. Other then that it will work great. Also Vista has ready boost so speed could be managed.

With vista I doubt my pc would ever run as fast as it does with xp right now tweaked with TuneXP plus I don't like the compatibility issues I am hearing about vista. So id say stick with xp especially since you have 1gb ram, im sure its enough but then again it might be a bit heavy on ur system while handling apps. give it a try though and see how it is and if its to ur liking then keep it.
