Got an Acer lap that came pre-installed with VISTA HOME BASIC and 512Mb RAM,
which clearly not enough to run the Redmond hogware. I am going to install
TWO GIGs of mem.
Really lame dept: this laptop basically FAILS windows test, as score is
flatline 2.0, so why did Acer even load VISTA on it in first place? Strange.
1) will this upgrade require me to contact MS, or will VISTA simply accept it
without a hassle?
2) did NOT get VISTA dvd with the laptop; how do I handle this should I ever
need to reinstall it?
Can I get/buy a dvd for my own piece of mind? I know there is supposed to be
recovery features, but MS has never been known as a flawless source of
programming code; bug fixes are their specialty.
Not all that impressed with VISTA but had to do it to keep pace with current
periphs, etc. Slow, not intuitive, but grudgingly made the move to VISTA.
