Odd part is I didn't have these issues with Vista pre SP1, so it's either the service pack or one of the other drivers causing the problems. I'm guessing the Nvidia beta driver is the cause I'll give it another go when the new WHQL driver hits this week.

Currently I'm running Vista Ultimate 32bit on my main rig with a OC'ed Q6600.

Zardon, do you think I'd notice a benefit from 32bit to 64bit?

Eight gigs of RAM, oh mama! As expected it really makes a difference, and was worth it being the biggest spending point of my budget upgrade. The other day a game started up while the gaming harddrive remained asleep, that spells c-o-o-l.

Yes, I have now, my rig is more than capable of running Vista 100% and the OS has improved considerably over the last 12 months, it is now a better OS than XP and here are not many reasons other than cost to stick with XP now.

I am curently running 64bit vista, and I have no problems at all, but the only reason that you would need to run 64bit instaid of 32bit is if you have 4gig or more of memory, because the 32bit OS only sees about 3.5gig of ram

I'm currently dual-booting XP Pro and Vista Ultimate x64. I'm mostly using Vista these days, since I'm doing some D3D10 coding, but I still have a lot less stuff installed than on XP. I don't see it as my "day to day" OS. I'm slowly configuring it to be more usable. IMO out of the box it has some annoying stuff that's easier in XP, and I still don't really like it. Some improvements over XP, but it could have been better with some minor changes.

I built my new system w/ vista home premium 64 bit, in december 07. Initially I had so
many issues that I switched back to XP PRO .After SP1 was released I couldnt wait to
reboot the vista, there were things on the vista that I had already become fond of. 2 or three weeks so far and no issues!! Welcome Back Vista !!

I just changed my HD fro IDE to Sata II and vista Moved me from a 5.8 to a 5.9 for the HDD. I might imagine a improvement, but I think it is my imagination. Vista 64 has become my mainstream OS without a doubt, but it is not as simple or intuitive as XP (Not that XP was all that great either. I still have one machine with XP64 SP2. SP2 came a little late for XP64, made it a really great OS, but Vista was busting thru and now XP64 is languishing.

Oh I moved my drive because I need the IDE HDD elsewhere and why buy a new IDE Drive if you don't have to?
