Ok, I'm done with this.

Bottom line, the posters before you and are the power users I were
referring to. You know, the guys that you said were basically crazy for
wanting computers with Corporeal Patronus's IDEAL _NOT_ REQUIRED
configuration.

When I say pretty experience, i was reffering to ultimate. Anyting will
run better on a faster machine. I probably have a better vista
experience than you just because my specs are higher, maybe, maybe not.

Finally, you may be satisfied with your 1.6Ghz core 2 duo, but i'm
barely satisfied wity my 2.6Ghz core 2 duo. As stated before, it just
depends on what you're doing. I admit, i have high standards as 4 out of
7 days of the week i'm using a computer with the equivelant of a 10GHz
quad xeon with 64Gb of ram and 10.5TB of space.

In closing, you may need your computer just for rutine stuff, me i need
mine do no nothing short of walk on water.

There is no fix for the performance degradation of Vista. Your best bet is
to upgrade back to XP. What was MS thinking?

I am about to scream. I am using Microsoft Vista Ultimate Edition on a HP
1.8Ghz Dual Core Turion 64 X2 Processor with 2GB RAM 80GB Hard Drive
Laptop.
I use simple applications like Quickbooks 2007, Outlook 2007, Word 2007
and
Internet Explorer 7. The hard drive is always running and the laptop is
the
slowest I have ever used before. When I was using Windows XP Professional
SP2
all was well but when I went to Vista all my system performance came to a
screeching halt. Any idea's on how to resolve or speed up my laptop?

You really don't know what you are talking about do you !!

Ok, i've dont quite a bit of research in this community. Here's the
bottom
line....

Vista 32 bit systems has memory issues. 64 bit versions will fix that.
IN
this day and age, when you buy a new pc, it's wise to max out your memory
and
get a decent speed of a cpu. 1.8 ghz just aint gonna work. You need
2.4ghz
or more to activate the 4mb l2cache. You also need 2 hd's. One hd
dedicated
to the paging file and the other for windows and your other needs. I've
been
using vista for 3 months now with a 2.4ghz dual core, 4gb 800mhz ram, 2
320gb
sata II hd's.

Sata II has the 16mb buffer, and faster transer rates than the 8mb sata's.
Most laptop sata's come with a 5400 rm sata hd. Make sure you don't have
an
under performing hd first. Other than that, your cpu is too low to
effectively run Vista, let alone ultimate, and your under powered in the
other 2 areas, memory and hd.

I hope it helps.

I suggest you upgrade to XP SP2 from vista. Vista is still in beta version
and it seams that it will be for some time to come

Mark,

Again, are you having trouble learning how to use Vista? You seem to be
a rabid Vista hater.

If Vista wasn't such a resource PIG these discussions would not be happening.
ANYTHING is better than Vista. I am a computer geek with a dozen different
machines. The slowest machine is the newest, greatest hardware running VISTA.
My son's machine which 1/2 the processors (each slower) is actually faster
running XP than the Vista machine. If Micrsoft doesn;t fix the problem.
Everyone will be on Macs. As a developer I use Microsoft all the time, but as
a user all I care about is does it work. With the advent of Vista, Macs are
clearly superior.
