I like the Sound of my Brand New DELL XPS 600 System, a Whole Lot Better
(Hopefully it Will Ship on Friday, May 12th, 2006, and Not be Delayed).

Windows Vista Beta 1 did not work very well with my Old ATI Radeon X300,
just FYI (on my older DELL Dimension 8400, it Destroyed the Graphics Card,
hopefully Beta 2 will not have that problem, as well).

I would Personally Recommend a Video Card with at least 256 MB's of VRAM
(like my NVIDA GeForce 6800, for Example).

P.S. Some Very Bad Things Happen in Windows Vista Beta 1 when you only have
128 MB's of VRAM, hopefully Beta 2 will not have those problems as well, but
I will never ever run Windows Vista Beta with only 128 MB's of VRAM ever
again.

I think that is why they call it beta. Beta 2 has a lot of bug fixes in it
compared to 5308 that you used. I am confident that this video card will do
the job. At least until I purchase a new PC in January.

Andre, bad thing happen when you try to run Windows Vista Beta 1 with an ATI
Radeon X300, just FYI (Windows Vista Beta 2 will probably be the same old
thing).

Jason

How can you say that unless you have tested the latest builds? There has
been a lot of improvements since 5308. You should really think positive
instead of negative

My Old ATI Radeon X300 Died Last Year just a little while after I installed
Windows Vista Beta 1 on my DELL Dimension 8400. Since that day, I have been
the Proud Owner of my NVIDIA GeForce 6800 (which is installed on my DELL
8400).

Vista will not break that AT Card. Kevin is a m***n. He does not know what he is talking about. Nothing wrong with that ATI card. As a matter of fact it is on one of my test machines and it works exceptionally well.You are all set with what you have described.

ATI's Windows Vista Beta 1 Device Driver's did indeed break my ATI Radeon
X300, just FYI, you did not test Windows Vista Beta 1 (or else you would
have seen me Posting in the Technical Beta Newsgroups in the
August/September 2005 Time Frame) so just Plain Shut the **** Up.
