5 Things about Vista for Home User
Vista might be your OS today below is something you might need to know about Vista before you install it.
- Don's install if you have RAM less than 512 MB. If you still want a taste of Vista (just like me who limited in RAM) try Home Basic (but no AERO L)
- Perpare 20 GB for new installation or more for upgrade (damn)
- Wait the driver if you have not usual hardware configuration. If you have SLI (Scalable Link Interface) in your VGA, or you have 6 channel sound card based be pattient till the hardware vendor wake up and release the driver. Driver will highly improve your Windows Experience index
- It's directX 10, until now there are few Game that run in DirectX 10 (or still in development!). However many of my fav game such as Splinter Cells Double Agents will run smoothly in Vista and the rest you can achive it using Compatibility (Right Click à Properrties) mode be sure to run it in XP SP2 (many of game running in here OS) disable Visual Themes, Desktop composition, and High DPI)
- Be sure to chaneg the antivirus into the new one. Some API for anti virus had been blocked in Vista so be sure to upgrade your antivirus intoi the new version
Hope you enjoy your's Vista
