OK, time for me to feel like a total noob here. I've been running the W7 beta 32 on my primary desktop, which originally shipped with XP. Have not used Vista at all. I'm curious about running the 64-bit version of the RC, but want to know if I will get a performance boost or hit, or what...

I took what was my old system (K8NHA Grand nForce 3 250Gb mobo, Athlon 64 3400+ w/2Gb ram) and put together a system for my fiance to use up in our exercise/music room. Decided to try Vista x64 on it and it installed and runs fine. The odd thing is Vista shows the system as having 4Gb of memory...

Right-click on 'Computer' and select 'Properties' or select System from the Control Panel, it reports I have 16G of Memory. Don't I wish. I only have 2G. Task Manager as well as the CPU usage Gadget both report that correctly. Just noticed the device manager reported it incorrectly. Other than...

Using build 6801, within 10 to 15 minutes of browsing the web, the system would freeze and needs a hard reset. In addition to the IE8 that came with win 7, I've tried Firefox 3 and the latest Google Chrome all with the same freezing result. And it doesn't happen on the same website. System...

System specs: Athlon XP 2100 (1.7 Ghz) 1GB DDR Radeon 9000 (Powercolor) built in 100 LAN, AC97 Situation: Installing Vista took about an hour. I'm seriously! Booting into the desktop is painfully slow. Task Manager shows the CPU spiked to 100%, but on closer inspection, no process in the list...
