I updated a little bit my system : Athlon XP-M 2800+ (2133 Mhz- 16*133), on an old Abit KT7a (from 2001) 1 GB of classic SDR 133Mhz (not DDR !) An ATI 9550 - 128 Mb on a Seagate Sata 7200.11 500GB plugged on a SIL 3512 sata1 PCI card. The hard drive is really faster than before : Under Vista : 95 MB/s for the sata 500GB, compared to 55 MB for the IDE 200 GB Moreover the added memory boosted the Vista SP1 refresh2, vlited. It is now really usable, not as fast as XP SP2, but quite OK ! I really think that 1 GB memory is indispensable under Vista.

I finally made a Vista lite dvd with vLite and installed Vista on the PC. Not too bad when surfing, but I noticed that when I use the video component (playing an mpeg2 file with Winfast mpeg2 or Dscaler 5 codec), the pc was quite slow, slower than XP SP2. I don't know why. So I decided to reinstall XP SP2 (full), and it's really faster now ...

I'm going to wait the new vLite and probably test Vista with it. Thanks

In fact I already have a full "XP sp2 pro" installed on my pc, with lots of software, so I really would like to know if a "vLite Vista with same usefull functionalities" (I don't care about games ...) is as quicker as an "XP sp2" on my pc, before deinstalling/reinstalling everything ! Thanks

Hi, I have an Athlon XP-M 2800+ (2133 Mhz- 16*133), on an old Abit KT7a (from 2001) 640 Mb of classic SDR 133Mhz (not DDR !) An ATI 9550 - 128 Mb and a 200 Gb hard drive (Seagate) I use my PC for surfing, making UML models under Rational Rose, watching Digital TV, using Word 2003. I'm not a gamer. Do you think that a "vLite Vista" release would be quick enough compared to my "XP sp2" ? Thank you very much

Hi, I have the following machine : Athlon 1 Ghz 512 MB ram ATI Radeon 9550 128 MB Seagate 200 GB Currently I run Windows XP, pretty well. I want to know if the Windows Vista eXperience will be as good as XP eXperience ? So , will Vista be as quick as XP on my system ?
