To Go Or Not To Go

[Guest]

Hey guys im expecting my copy of Vista RC1 soon, but i have some questions
for you. I have a HP Livestrong notebook with Turion 64 ML-40. Im thinking of
going 64Bit. Im running XP Pro SP2. Should I upgrade, clean install, or dual
boot. Its a personal notebook that I use to fiddle around with. I also was
wondering if anyone knows if my restore disks will work with vista
(I.E..Restoring my drive to XP Pro)? Should i go vista or not. Let me know
your ideas and problems. Also is my Ipod Shuffle compatible with ReadyBoost?
Thanks!!!!!

Thanks for the helpful insight. Im ordering the CD rom but when i get it I
will post here to show how it goes. I want to go 64 just to see how my
processor does, kinda like benchmarking it. Thanks tho I will keep you
informed.

Hey I finally got RC1 installed it 64 in like an hour. GO 64!!!!! I havent
had many problems, the only problem ive had is Anti-Virus is CA Sucks, so im
on PC-Cillan. Only 2 64-Bit programs. The audio drivers will not work in 64
but i found a way around:
http://www.planetamd64.com/index.php?showtopic=26653 I think Microsoft Hit
the nail on the head going Vista and 64. I Love the sidebar and the viewables
in the OS. (Where else can you play Pong when installing Halo????) I think
that Microsoft needs One Care 64 but hey itll be here. I LOVE
VISTA!!!!!!!64!!!!!!!!
