macmanpapi Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) I have been using for about 3 hours and not to jump the gun, but it works just fine so far. the boot time the same but apps open up faster and my cpu does not seem to work as hard doing the same things as before , surfing playing music and downloading at the same time on a 2160 clocked to 2.4ghz a 2 gigs of ram with a 1950pro vid and a new 1.5 ter bite drive I just got. This is on a clean install of vista ultimate I did on Monday so that may also be helping me. the ram us is down about 15% too on a non-tweaked system at 43% with nothing open was at 60 on clean install , I will say on first boot my core usage was at 100% for like 10 min I went and made a turkey sand and came back and it was at 0 on both cores . And has not gone above 20 yet, lol I think they got something right folks. I would not be afraid to try on a clean install. As that is what I can talk about. But I never had any of the issues with vista that I have seen on the net besides it being a resorce hog. Lol well good luck to all those that are brave enough to try!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grow some ball's like I’m a fool that was not a duh smart enough to make a back up first lol. As I said clean install, not faster that’s semantics or should I stick to small words for you, play nice and so will I ps the load time of most programs did speed up and rams usage is down might explain that or something other reason that’s why I’m posting please post concerning this not rants cause as iv said I love vista too lol Macmanpapi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechnoDude Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 As far as I can remember, Vista SP2 installed faster than SP1 on my rigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmanpapi Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 me too was not sure if it was just me thinking it was faster, or the fact that the install is truly faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Scheller Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hello Manju.Re: Marvell Ethernet Controller showing up as a Removable Device.I noticed the same thing as soon as I installed SP2. I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to hardware, but I'm guessing that the network card/chip is somehow connected to the motherboard via a USB connector. Someday I'll look inside and see if I can see where it connects.I am also guessing that SP2 is just more picky when checking out the motherboard hardware, whereas SP1 probably ignored the kind of connection the ethernet controller had with the board.In any case, I gave up trying to find a system solution, and instead used a third party utility to remove the icon from the notification area.

EagleWing Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Vista SP2 Beta?? I think I'll wait until the final release and check peoples responses, gripes, complaints, bitches, etc. Then and only then will I try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
