Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Greetings from Vista

I just upgraded to Vista Beta 2 a couple of days ago and have been pleasantly surprised so far -- it's come a long way in the last year. Graphics card definitely makes a big difference -- I'm running a Radeon 9800 on a 1.6 GHz P4 with 512 MB of RAM and and a REALLY old 20 MB hard disk, and the performance is actually pretty decent. It sure does like that disk drive, as others have said, although obviously more RAM or a non-stone-age drive would help.

The performance ratings are funny -- my graphics card gets a "5.8" and nearly everything else is under "2", so WinSAT grudgingly gave me a "2" for the whole system and turned on the AeroGlass interface.
