I do not need game information, I need to know how well it works with
Vistax64, and the links that were sent to me end up in a blank webpage, due
to my ISP settings google is not accessible

The question is irrelevant, all CPUs work equally well with
Vista64 providing they're not ancient, the OS is merely the
means to run applications so search for benchmarks of the
apps you'll run, with a different search engine (or use a
proxy to get to google's search).

Games and other apps will still show relative performance
which should still be useful so you see what the additional
cost of any particular CPU will yield in performance
increase relative to the others available.

For anything but games and some patroller applications such as video
rendering, the difference in performance will be something the average user
never sees.

Moving from 300 MHz to 1.8 GHz, more memory and faster everything I know my
database application with some very complex queries opened a form faster
then before, but I could not discern it.

Waht I want to know is if there is any problem that might show up because I
change CPU, that kind of thing happens quite often when one does that kind
of change, so basically what i want to know is what kind of problem I might
expect, and how to solve it (them)

All you need to know is you have to reinstall your os. And if i were you
wait for windows 7. You can down load beta version of that, it kicks vista
butt. Second you would be better off asking this question on a windows
vista newsgroup. They will give you the answers you want.

I hvae to agree with you. But Vi$ta's backward compatibility is
good...Hope Win 7 could do better rather than.... well....

I have the beta, but its lacking most of the program that I use in Windows,
Mail, PhotoGallerie, DVDMaker, MovieMaker, and Calendar.

BTW. why would I have to re-install the OS, and I was told on the VISTA
HARDWARE newsgroup to come here

I think the download has been stopped but I'd sure like to hear more about
the butt kicking.

Well so far VIsta has been very stable and quite fast, actually it is faster
than XP, and less prone to crashes

I actually just staged a machine with that combo - M4A79, PhenomII
Quad@3GHz. ASUS EAH4870 vid card with 1GB RAM. 4GB system RAM. 4x640G
WD Caviar dual-processor disks. Damn, those things are *quiet*.

I'm coming from a single-core 1.8G with a Soltek board from about 6
years ago. Big jump.

I initially tried it with XP64, and that was fine except for a few
apps that didn't work on a 64-bit system. I decided to be ballsy and
run one of those registry cleanup apps (used several of them before,
no problem); the install promptly fell over and died. Decided to do
Vista64 instead, just for kicks. I'd been bound and determined to
never look at Vista at all, but a friend of mine said I should at
least *try* it.

By my reckoning, everything looks pretty darned okay. I have some
niggles with how Vista uses physical RAM - once in awhile it's as if
the machine's paging to disk and my mouse pointer freezes up for an
instant. Word is, though, that this is just part of Vista sorting out
its memory allocation, and it'll behave better over time. I may feel
compelled to get a copy of Cacheman again though - they'll have a
Vista64-supported version in the next month or so. I may also tweak
Vista's precaching setting

So - what else can I tell you?
