Vista - Why so many flavors?

[Ashley Weed]

Myself too, I have come across way too many Dell's and in addition to that HP's with mobo's that you wouldn't believe the devistation caused to the machine due to the excess heat/incapable video.

In responso to the Apple - not actually a bad idea in today's marketplace. Very minute problems with boot camp running Windows apps if there is a must need, but compatibility issues are much lower compared to Vista in the current market. As a lifelong IBM PC user, I am in the process of switching my personal mobile computer to a MacBook. Extensive features exclusive only to Apple can only help persuade one in addition to the stable environment.

As for myself, I ran testing with Vista for multiple clients on one of my Shuttle systems:

You only need a minimum of 15 GB for Vista operations
I recommend 2GB for optimum performance, I was running 3GB just so I could multi-task to the specifications asked of me.
DuoCore is the only way to go with Vista. Lag created from the OS is to excessive for legitimate processing time with any other.
