I formatted RC1 and did a clean install of RC2. I now can choose my desktop area: 1152x864 Avg free is longer a option, it wont install. My sound options work, a little better, but not much My Logitech quick cam wont work now and MS isnt offering a update for some reason I noticed 5 or 6 new services that I have no clue about, let alone half the others which I have no clue. I like Vista, and I love the fact I got it free, thanks to the heads up on this forum. I dont trust Vista, or XP, I still prefer 98SE Vista makes my computer look like a fool......2 Gigs of ram is the mininum I'd say. Been killing left and right on halo, no crash, havent tested all but GTA VC and SA look killer. Ram still OK at 2-3-3-6 http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=128288 ***Dont forget to update your DX10 via DX end user update, you'll need those old files for your games
