New Vista...w00t w00t
so I bought a new pc with Windows Vista and so far I can't complain, its a little annoying with the safety feature asking me whether i wish to cancel or allow the program to run or not but other then that its decently setup. my new cpu owns my old one 2 to the power of 9.9.

I hear that since it is so new, there are going to be issues with previous programs running on it.....
compatability is important gentlemen...... |

so far its working pretty good...limewire has a problem but only due to the screen resolution/colour scheme...photoshop CS works but again resolution/colour scheme is another issue but im thinking its my screen that is bugging it hardcore

compatibility is fine - it's all the little things that annoy me
I'm running a Core 2 duo and for some reason when I'm copy files via network share it maxes my cpu, weird can't do anything else Random hickups/slowdowns There's lots more but don't have the time to list I'll stick to OS X for my main machine ------------------ --=Chris=-- If NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports, Does HOMO stand for Honda Motorsports? |

^^ Is Vista enabling DMA on the HD(s)??? If thats not enabled, that would definitely explain why it maxes out the CPU when writing/reading alot.
