5728 works fine for lots of people and better then 5600, just because it doesnt work for them doesnt mean its broke

yeah that card will be fine i`m using a radeon 9600XT and runs vista with all the features just fineluke51087 said:I am about to install vista on a 3500+ 939 pc with an ati x850xt will this video card be fine?
tskiller said:I'm pretty excited about vista's final release. I REALLY hope that 64bit works as well as 32bit seems to be working. When it does come out (i havent been running anyt vista's since beta 2, still have that on dual boot) i think im going to finally buy another 2x 320gig hard drives and another 2 gigs of ram.
Is there a 64 bit of this build and are any of you guys using it?
ryan_975 said:I don't understand. You're still running 5384? And have not tried 5472 5536 5600 or 5728? If so you are missing out. Beta 2 (5384) was by far the worst of the public releases.
But yes there is a 64bit version, but I'm not running itt. There's a link on the first or second page of this thread linking to the 64bit download site.
tskiller said:Its in my boot manager, but i dont actually use it
I'm kind of waiting for 64bit version to work well. I should do a reformat, its about time, but when i do it i kind of want it to be perminant, ala final release.

74gb raptor as primary drive
250 gb as secondary drive
dvd burner
x850xt pci x16
and the TV card, kinda wanted to throw this together to get MCE working with vista and to test it all out at once, if anyone has this tv card and Vista 5728 let me know if it works

Headbust said:Has it improved to the point where it is able to be your main OS??
I havent tried it since i got my beta 1 cd, and i thought they were going to send me a free cd automatically when the RC1 came out but i guess not.
I dont game, but have tons of software i need to install
Paithar said:Ok, sorry for sounding like a complete newbie here but I have a few questions about Vista Beta2/RC1. I will admit that I haven't read through this whole thread, just kind of skimmed through it so I may have missed the answers to my questions.
If I download this beta/rc build, where do I get a key?
If I download this beta/rc build, how long does the liscense last? I mean, will I have to go out and buy an actual commercial version once it's released or does the liscense last for one year or what?
I have a compaq persario laptop with the following basic configuration..
AMD XP3200+
80GB HD
512MB RAM
Currently running Windows XP Home
Would Vista run on this? How well might it run? Currently I only have this laptop and my desktop pc. I don't want to install it on my desktop just yet but I am really wanting to see what Vista is like so far so I thought that maybe my laptop would be a good place to try it out.
You definitely don't want to upgrade your primary machine with Vista right now, especially if you are running Crossfire and plan to game. This is just a beta OS, and not the final product. You should either dual boot, or use a spare machine.Kuma said:I just received the RC1 Dvds from MS and I am debating on whether or not to install this. How accurate is the Windows Vista Upgrade advisor ? If its correct I only have two apps to worry about. If its completely out of whack then well no Vista for me. My PC is primarily used for Gaming and I am running a X1900 crossfire setup.
Also, am i correct in assuming you can upgrade from XP to this.

If you turn off UAP (UAC?) and make her an admin member then yeah something could go wrong. I have an account for my 3 year old and my wife and so far no problems, of course YMMV.Kuma said:Its not that serious to me.. I need stability more than anything and I can see my wife booting into vista and messing something up

You need to have some open, unallocated space on your hard drive. Then, when you install Visa, you point the installer to that unallocated space. The rest is done for you.Paithar said:I've read of some people doing a dual boot with Vista and XP, does the Vista install give you this option if it detects that you already have XP installed? If not, how do you go about doing a dual boot between Vista and XP?
The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of going the daul boot route on my laptop, providing I can still get myself a key for Vista RC1.
