Lol!
Actually it was 2 gigs of ram and I think I have like 80 gigs of my hd free.
And actually, I've experienced xp pro on a 697 mhz pentium 3, with 256 mb of
ram, and a 8 gig hard drive (7.84 actually), and jaws 4.51, the standard
version. Not , fun! And, along with the upgrade to xp, I also got a really
crappy mother board that came with a built in sound card, the mic jack of
which I was able to blow with a cell phone. But anyway rant over. I'm of
course not using that machine for much anymore. :D hehheheh.

possible, because vista like breathing room, and the amount of free space
on the harddrive helps to.
With my xp box. If i didn't have at least 4 gigs or better, it liked to
get sluggish and jaws just crashed all the time.
i haven't seen one slow down of this vista box yet, and I try to break it
as much as possible. Because if your job is fixing them. you have to
break-em!

ah. I have like 2 gigs and it's only using 50% of it normally. That of
course changes if I start virtualBox and load something interesting in
there, then it gets to around 80% or so. Still though, would that be
enough to make it break?
Thanks.

Although, I run vista here, I've been running it for about a year and a

the new features, but hate the instability.
Thanks.

hi
it depends on why you where thinking of it to begin with.
I had to buy a new pc couple days ago because my xp machine crashed.
So was left with two choices, buy a new computer with vista and get on
with it, or don't have a computer. might as well chop my arms off than
have no computer. *smiles*
I figured might as well get used to vista since I had to purchase a new
machine any way.
yes, I'll agree vista is different to xp, but in a lot of ways, exactly
the same.
you still have a desktop, you still have email, you still have menues.
windows mail was outlook express, but honestly if you could use the
latter then you sure can use the former.
I.E is version 7 so that the same as XP.
I would strongly recommend anyone wishing to go for vista, takes a look
at the daisy files from freedom scientific. it does explain a lot and
how to manage the new layout of the desktop, what the vista gadgets are
etc.
so meaning no di respect to anyone, I totally disagree with people when
they say "don't upgrade, it's not accessible"
load of rubbish and gives a total wrong impression.
what is good for one might not work for another, but I would say try it
out as you might find it is easier to use than what you currently have.
and, you might like it.
I'm sorry if this upset anyone, this was not my intention.
I for one was scared off from upgrading by the so called "experts" I am
not pointing any fingers here.
my last comments here are, ask yourself your own questions?
why do you want to upgrade?
Thanks
Elaine

any proponents of vista

Can anyone tell me why I should upgrade to Vista from XPPro? What are
advantages, enhanced features, ETC.
Thanks,
Stewart
