Default VISTA...works.

Got my new computer finished up this morning, though still waiting
delivery of storage drive. VISTA works fine. Initial first-time
startup takes a long time.


Congratulations! Do you notice any significant speed on this machine
vs the one you gave your Mom?



Well, the new box has a faster video card. The application hard drives
are both WD Raptors, so that part should be the same. I would say the
CPU is a bit faster opening up programs. Also, the new box has more memory.

Yeah, the new machine is faster, despite VISTA. VISTA so far seems nice
and smooth to me. Only one small software program so far bombed out on
the install, a chess program. But I've just started to load up the C
drive. My D drive hasn't yet arrived.


What video card did you get?
