Vista SP1

[Richard]

Heard that vista SP1 will fix allot of issues with Vista, plus make it run
much faster ?
also, heard that vista will be able to acess more memory than 4GB, is this
true ?


TIA

NO, this is the answer to both of your questions
I have tested SP1 RC1 for Vista and it does not solve the "VISTA-problem"
being slowlyness.

Vista 64bit uses more than 4G. I think it is up to 128Gs.

So tempted to run XP
if that being the case.

That's right. All 32-bit versions of Vista have a 32-GB address space.
Some of that must be used to access video RAM, BIOS, etc, so you
cannot actually use a full 4GB of RAM.

The 64-bit versions of Vista let you use more RAM. Home Basic will
handle up to 8GB, Home Premium up to 16GB, Business, Enterprise and
Ultimate will handle 128GB.

I usually try to stay far away from the rumor mill, and discount
everything like that that I "hear." I'll see what it does when it gets
here.

also, heard that vista will be able to acess more memory than 4GB, is this
true ?

However, in that case, you can sure that what you heard is false.
32-bit Vista, with or without SP1, can not access more than 4GB
(actually not even quite that much).

Something about PAE 36bit addressing ?
might be added to SP1
