Andy4life Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000: Intel Pentium M (centrino) 1.6ghz 512DDR2 60GB Hard Drive Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910 Express Chipset 128mb Sigmatel AC'97 Audio Setup: Dualbooting XP Pro w/ SP2 and Longhorn (Vista) Beta 1 (Partitioned) Partition 1: XP Pro (42gb's) Partition 2: Longhorn/Vista (11gb's) Running at 1280 x 800 (widescreen)... So far everything is working PERFECT.. sound and everything, my only issue is no DWM and i'm not sure if thats because intel hasnt released any LDDM drivers yet, or if it's simply because my graphic card doesnt support it. I'm using it as my main OS for the time being... but im installing everything on C: just incase it starts to play up.. i can just go back to xp... and all will be good :) right now im restoring all my back ups off my server... 5 hours and 41 mins remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostdraconi Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 AMD Athlon 1700+ Radeon 9600 512 MB RAM Runs fine for me, about as fast as XP and all effects enabled. Faster if I disable some stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryce_56 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I am running it as a test machine dual booting with XP 64 on a 20 gig partition. Specs AMD 64 X2 4400+ MSI 6600GT MSI Neo4 Platinum 160 gig Serial HD 2 GIG Corsair Ram Great specs but I still get no Glass effects, but I did install the 64 bit version of Vista B1 maybe I will try the 32 bit version.

DG55 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'm running it in a dual boot with XP Pro on:Pentium 4 3.2ghz 512mb ram x300 128mb graphics card a 20gb partition I'm just testing it and XP remains my main OS. The Glass effects look amazing!!! :woot: 586293815[/snapback] Similar spec but I have 3.4 and 2g ram. Runs great, in some ways feels faster than XP, probably just me though :p. Installing was a breeze, clicked install, selected partition etc and left it to install. Didnt have to mess around with any SATA drivers, video card or anything. Runs on top visual style.

philtep Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Got Vista running on my new box: Dual booting Vista and XP, Vista is on a 120gb Seagate barracuda, while XP on a 74gb 10k Raptor. Storage is 2x250gb Maxtor Maxline III Pentium D 830, water-cooled @ 3.8ghz. 1gb Corsair DDR2 Asus P5WD2 Premium Power Color X700 256mb (dual DVI+HD) I've tried both 32, and 64-bit versions. The 64bit took twice as long to install, but ran just as fast. All mobo-related drivers (Realtek Azelia 7.1 sound, Intel Tekoa gigabit, Marvell Gigabit, and all SATA controllers) worked flawlessly. The sound I had to manually install, everything else was auto-detected. Picking RAID drivers during setup was buggy.. it showed about 100 of the same drivers on the list, and after picking them 2 or 3 times, it works and the HDDs load up. In case you are an IM junkie, I could not get AIM to work on the 64bit version, but it works fine on the 32bit version. Speed-wise, I can't really tell if its slower than XP, but it probably is.

Does anyone know any more about this, liek who made the patch ? and how it worked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
