    Default Windows Vista Versions

    Most of you guys would have heard of this, since some of you are upgrading your PC, this might be relevant, if you guys are considering of using the new OS.

    Heres a better description.

    I might get the Home Premium version, since it came with the Aero skin, which looks extremely cool. That and the support for DirectX 10 is probabily the only reason I'm getting Windows Vista.

    Yep, I have yet to see the power of a 64 bit OS, but my hopes are high

    Because you have a 64 bit powered up PC, good for you. My pc going to adjusted by the OS to a 32 bit environment, doesn't matter I get a new PC in another 5 years time.

    I just read something else intresting about Windows Vista, Microsoft is adding support for a new type of "USB Ram module", a simple way to upgrade the system RAM. Apprently Windows Vista requires a blazin 800MB of ram at IDLE! So they probabily introduced this product for people that don't want to open their computer up. I can't comment on the performance but I'm pretty sure its going to be bad, just a tiny step up from pagefiles probabily.

    I've always wondered about the possibilities of Firewire or USB-Port RAM. Though, still, it would get limited by the 480MB transfer speed, ouch.

    The best Windows site I know is http://winsupersite.com/ there's all info about Vista you'll ever need to know.
