Oh yeah, you mean the Windows features that don't work when you run XP in OSX Parallels on Apple hardware?

 

[SoKlueles]

so basically vista sucks?

 

[redguru]

Will it work on a good current AtI or NVidia 3d card? Or is it going to require next gen hardware?

 

[redguru]

Oh, and increase the refresh rate on your monitor.

Oh, and increase the refresh rate on your monitor.

bitch, that is 1600x1200 @ 85 Hz (can't do better)

The other thing, my graphic card was top of the line 2 years ago, it's directx9 compliant (Radeon 9700 Pro).

Compared to today's card, it's already mid-level, saved only by the fact that it Supports DirectX 9.

The basics specs are:

128Mb DDR SDRAM
* Eight parallel rendering pipelines
* Four parallel geometry engines
* 256-bit DDR memory interface
* AGP 8X support
MPEG2 HW encoding/decoding

This works perfect... according to the so called Windows Experience Index, my card is a 5... my processor is the bottle neck, with 3.2

This index is actually a good idea, since it lets you know what exactly you need to upgrade to get the most bang for the buck

I have a commodore 64.

it works great

I'm using vista on one of my computers - both computers are dual core

I'm using onboard video and its kind of a drag - you really need a solid video card for vista to run super smoothly. It's a resource hog. 64-bit wireless card drivers do not exist UGH. IT has a nice gooey interface though

there's a screen shot for you:
