You right about checking the different versions, who thought that Msoft
would not include the fax console in Home Premium, All the XP versions
have it. In South Africa most people having a home based business use XP
Home, because it's afordable and give you everything you need, even for
leasure.
For that reason, Vista Home Premium would be the ideal OS to replace XP
Home, so everyone thought.

If you have your Vista partition setup as 200GB you must be some kind of
"special"

That's nothing to brag about since any intelligent user limits the size of
the OS partition to only the needed amount to help prevent fragmentation.
The intelligent user would then divide up the remaining disk space amongst
various uses.

For instance I have 2TB of HD space in my system.

My Vista partition is 40GB and even that's a little larger than I should
have made it. I then have a programs partition and a games partition.
Another partition is setup to handle only downloaded files and documents.
Beyond that the rest is all backup storage in case of a system failure.

My Performance and Reliability Monitor rates the system at an 8.4. The only
reason why it's that low is due to some older applications that I use
occasionally hanging. There are newer versions that I could upgrade to for
free, but I just haven't taken the time. So that's my fault and not the
fault of the OS.

Then again I have a feeling that you're just trolling for fun.

You must not be running much software on your pc with your listed 160GB
Seagate hard drive. I have a total of 4TB internally!! My vista ultimate
partition alone is 200GB.

Are you running a business on your PC?

Not to mention the fact that his PSU is overkill in some areas and weak in
others.

I run only a 375W PSU in mine, but my rails are stronger than his in quite a
few important areas.

You're running a business on a gaming PC? Sure, it's easy to do. But,
damn. It's easy to lose everything if you update drivers and tweak your
system for better performance.

no as a matter of fact im not.....

i can assure you though there is no app on earth which will stress the

than what you see in that pic....regardless of how much overall storage
you have i bet your machine is still not up to the task.....

You assume too much.

My motherboard is a GIGABYTE GA-EX38-DS4
8GB RAM
Same video card as yours
Zalman 850W PSU with pipe coolers
Noctua NH-U12P Cooler
Intel Quad 6700 CPU
4TB internal hard drive space
26" NEC 2690 Spectraview monitor
1 canon pixma 8500 printer
1 epson 3800 wide format professional printer
etc etc etc.

OK expert tell me where my machine is not up to task?

I haven't had any issue with Vista x64.

My system stays up for weeks at a time. I only reboot when installing some
silly software that needs to update system files (like Windows Updates).

I keep my system constantly overclocked at 1600FSB as well. Vista is stable
as a ROCK.

I'm sorry if you're having issues with your computer, but it's not Vista's
fault.

This is my second time around testing Vista ultimate 64 bit and after much
testing I cannot believe what a heap of absolute rubbish this OS is. How
many years did it take Microsoft to develop this junk?

I have the latest drivers/software/ quad core intel 6700 CPU with a modern
motherboard and running 8GB of RAM. Yeah....I anticipate that you are all
screaming and tearing your hair out and gnashing your teeth because I have
told the truth about this piece of OS junk.

Vista Ultimate will not remain stable if you load and use a substantial
amount of software on your computer. Yet both 32 bit and 64 bit versions
of XP Pro are relatively stable.

I am a business man and I can tell you that vista is unreliable and a
total waste of money. In fact microsoft should pay anyone to use this
piece of rubbish and the amount of time wasted attempting to trace down
problems.

Vista is much slower than XP Pro and XP Pro 64 to boot up and shut down.

I don't care how much you microsoft certificate guys hiss and boo....Vista
Ultimate 64 bit cannot compare in efficiency and stability to XP when you
load the OS with numerous heavy duty applications, eg Photoshop CS3 etc.

Even the CPU company Intel will not run vista on their computers (google
it!!)

Vista would have to be conidered along with Windows ME as the worse OSes.

Cheers

Ron
