few upgrade (to vista) questions

[lrbtav]

Hi, I'm currently running the latest patched version of XP Pro on my
home computer and have some questions regarding the upgrade process and
compatibility with Vista RC2.

1. Is there any way I can run a compatibility test on this machine to
ensure driver and application support?

2. If I have an Athlon 64 3200+ will my machine benefit from the 64bit
version of Vista, or is the performance increase only marginal compared
to the 32 bit?

3. Will RC2 allow me to register my purchased copy of Vista when it's
released without reinstallation?

Thanks!

Oh, one more question..I run dual monitors and use ultramon to manage
my window activity across two LCD screens. Will this software handle
window movements the same way once I have Vista installed? Thanks again.

Vista is betaware - make an informed choice - research it.

Do a Google for articles etc.
Start in the links below.
Consider though;
Are you a betaware tester
Do you have a second test system
Do you want to chance your one and only system to betware
problems just for the sake of trying it or must have cos its new.

Ask in the correct groups - read the comments etc

Google Vista 64-bit.

You won't go for it after reading the results.
