So you think Vista is stable, try this... Vista looks good, no dought. But once the RAM usage rises to just over 2.2 GB on Vista 32 bit applications crash and IE will not open new windows. Even the right click menus on apps show up half populated; if at all. Painful for any serious computer user. Service pack 1 better address the memory issues otherwise I will bin this OS and stick to XP Pro 64 bit. Let see, Service Pack 1 should be less than a month away.
Very poor sound playback I run this on a new Dell with 4gb Ram. I get popping and crackles when I play music after the PC has been on for a couple of days. This is seemingly a problem with how sound is played and is a reported through out the web including in UK newspapers such as the guardian. I would strongly advise against buying this system if you play music on your PC. None of the additional features on Vista have improved my home computing over XP, I regret selecting Vista when I bought a new PC.
Wait Wait Wait for it I design and build computers and as such i would recommend waiting for this product to iron out all bugs, unless ,as previously posted , you are familiar with all aspects of your computer..64bit systems are wrought with AS YET undefined or unfixable problems, the likes of which are legion. However 32 bit systems will have a smoother ride.
Dont take my word( or anyone elses) for this, simply go to the microsoft web site for vista and look at user faq's to see for yourself.
upshot is 64 WAIT... more info
