First off, I want to voice my displeasure with Microsoft in their "Upgrade"
disk. I was running XP Professional and the "upgrade" disk will not do a
true upgrade. You have to overwrite your operating system and do a clean
install.
Second, I never had a bit of problems running XP Professional on my system.
I have a 3 gig processor with 2 gigs of ram. As soon as I took the plunge
and installed Windows Vista over my XP Professional, the system constantly
locked up after about 5 or 10 minutes of running the program. I ran the
memory checker that Vista has and there isn't anything wrong with my ram.
Of course, once the system locks up, you have to reboot the system, and
guess what, Microsoft doesn't get notified of the problem.
Windows Vista does not allow you to do a ctrl/alt delete so you have to
manually turn off the computer.
I am very dissapointed in the product. When it works, it is pretty slick;
however, I cannot have my computer locking up on a constant basis. So, I am
typing this from XP Professional!
You can have Vista. It's not worth the money!
