In Reply to: Installed Vista on the weekend posted by Christine Tham on February 11, 2007 at 14:08:24:
I also Installed Vista Home Premium Edition upgrade on a P4 1.7ghz PC without any previous Windows on it. It seem to take the install if you don't enter the SN# first at pre-install, enter it later after image is up and running. I had Ubuntu loaded on this machine for awhile and Ubuntu worked fine on this PC, but Vista runs little slower on this 1.7ghz PC with 512mb of ram then the Ubuntu OS. Looks like I will have to bump up the CPU and a gig of memory according to the Vista performance stats it shows you. Allot of things changed on Vista as far as the GUI, will take some time getting used to all the new features. The only thing I had issues with was finding the correct wireless drivers for the Belkin PCI card, taken me awhile to find the right drivers. The ones from the Belkin site had few Vista drivers that were just posted a few days ago. I ended up finding the CD for my wireless card, and the drivers from the CD worked. After getting online with the wireless connection, I was then able to connect to my home network connection and locate the rest of my shares from the other PC's in my house just fine. For some reason, my wireless connection in Vista seem to get a better signal strength then when I had Ubuntu installed, and also better strength then my laptops with Windows XP in the same room. Just my 2 cents on Vista. But over all, seems like Vista will run fine on a PC with the P4 1.7ghz chip, and 512mb of memory, it’s not fast, but it works and is stable. Anything lower then that, I would stick to Windows XP or upgrade you’re CPU and memory.
