Install Vista 64 bit (SP1) onto bootable Solid State Disk by Andy CP
Is it possible to install Vista 64 bit (SP1) onto a SSD and make this bootable? As in, a PC that only has a SSD in it and no hard disks at all. Motherboard: Asus P6T Delux CPU: i7 940 SSD: OCZ Core V2, 120GB, SATA II, 2.5ā€¯ If it is possible, is there anything special that has to be done first or is the SSD seen as a normal HD by Vista 64 bit (SP1)?

sound default - Nick B by Java Joe
Vista supports output to multiple sound devices and even multiple sound devices on the same sound card if the hardware and drivers support it. For example, right now I am listening to both the SPDIF (hooked up to the receiver) and the 'speakers' device (PC speakers) simultaneously. I’m using Winamp with the ‘Multiple Output Plugin’. The issue is the Windows Media Player engine and thus Media...
