(OT) FWIW Vista RTM update on Dimension 8300.
Apparently my 8300 didn't like RC1 or RC2 (or vice versa).
Just got a chance to install the RTM version of Vista Ultimate on the machine and it's running like a champ. No performance issues using the full GUI and toys, no driver installs, and even a fresh download of the newest AVG 7.5 installed w/o issue. System is a 3.0GHz Northwood/1GHz PC3200 DDR/128mb AGP Radeon 9700 Pro. The OS appears to have about an 8gb footprint on the hard drive. There is no comparison in the performance versus the 3 other versions of Vista I toyed with. -Stew |
