has anyone install it,, if so what do ya think? how do you like it and does it run well enough to use it regularly.. Does it come with ie7? i have download it but yet to install.. looking for some feed back first.

Well that depends.. i have 1.8GHZ processor, 256mb RAM, 128mb Radeon 9600. Its alot about RAM. Youre gonna need at least 1GB to run with Aero all ramped up, full visual effects and whatnot. I run it OK, with all visual extras turned OFF, its still a little sluggish. Yes it does come with IE7. The good news is that you can dual boot it with XP (as long as you have the 10 gigabytes extra HDD space for the Vista install, yes 10GB). Its what i do, so that if i need to i can fall back on XP, while testing Vista.

my pc's has 2 gigs of ram with an intel 3.2 ht cpu and i have 256 megs of nvidia video mem.. i "should" beable to run it wide open on visuals wouldnt you think,,

can i do a "clean" install to a new drive or do i have to upgrade xp to vista?

Personally I wouldn't upgrade your installation to Vista at the moment! Always perform a clean install on a seperate hard drive or partition...and yes, your PC should be ok for Vista.

can you give me a little info to as why i shouldnt? Is it missing some important things. Is it slow? I see drivers for all my hardware except for my mobo but that could be the getter i guess..

If you think my xp-pro is better, i will stick with my pro then. I am curious as to what kinna problems people are haveing with Vista and with simular hardware to mine.

i brought a new hard drive to put vista on i like just would not recoumend puting it on the same hard drive as you xp copy but it is upto you
