Should I upgrade my PC to Vista? It's compatible and all but a few questions need to be answered:

I have an AMD 64 3500+ with a 7800GT and 1gb of Ram
Where do I find drivers?
How well does it work?
Will my current xp programs be compatible? Specifically games, virus scanners, etc (any of the essentials).

 

a. use xp drivers
b. i ran beta 1.... ran fine most of the time
c. games/programs are hit or miss..... google the game title followed by vista and see if others are having issues.

 

I can back down to XP because the bugs were pissing me off. I was runing RC1 and when I hit sleep, sometimes it wouldn't go to sleep


I'm not sure if I'm going to go back since all the IBM programs don't work

 

i was on w2k until 2004

 

I'm holding off on Vista until SP1.

 

you'll need another gig of ram if you're running the 64 bit version

 

upgrade ms operating systems is a bitch, i just wait to get a pc with vista already on it and stay with xp.

 

are you serious?

 

Stick with XP.

 

yep, i'll admit i'm not very computer savy. I upgraded from windows me to xp and it was not fun. Could be my situation though
