Fonze Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Single HD in raid 0? ya, with the Nforce raid technology you can set up a single HD in raid 0, then add another HD to the array without having to reformat. My comp came that way, so I left it. But normally I would have just gone with a normal 1 hd setup, and done raid later if I got 2 identical drives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unstable_Hero Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Not to sound negative, but who gives a ****; Zone Alarm is an a-grade cpu hogging, resource sprawling piece of crap; there is nothing wrong with the Microsoft Firewall; suck it in, accept that the default firewall is acceptable and stop being such a tosser....in all due respect. chill dude. So what if I use zone alarm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiwai Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 chill dude. So what if I use zone alarm? Its a POS that causes two truck loads of problems - almost a certaintity that you'll be the type of guy who will come back here, complaining about incompatibility problems between half-baked third party tools and how Microsoft is the root of all evil.

Denis W. Veteran Posted October 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2006 chill dude. So what if I use zone alarm? Last time I used ZoneAlarm, they had that OS Firewall that severely hosed Windows XP's performance. It's your choice if you prefer ZA. But until then, it's not MS's problem ZA doesn't work.

FnF Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 ZA isn't that well programmed, it's really a resourcehog. But some people seem to like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwod Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 They worked fine for my x600 mobile ...granted, they have always worked :yes: Are there any new ATI gfx driver included in RC2? And could you check if Monitor Standby mode is working properly. Previously the back light remain on even the monitor is still in Standby mode.

"there is nothing wrong with the Microsoft Firewall", LMAO!!!! the default firewall sucks, you must no nothing about firewalls! Zonealarm is a great firewall, a few too many resources, but no-where near as much as norton crap. using nod32, zonealarm, spybot, adaware and you wont have any problems. symantec antivirus for vista is on the net, prob your best bet for an antivirus at the moment until better more stable ones are released.

+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted October 7, 2006 Subscriber² Share Posted October 7, 2006 Great. According to the newsgroups Aero Glass is now deactivated if you have 'only' 512 MBytes RAM or less... ah well, Vista Classic runs faster than Aero anyway.

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted October 7, 2006 Veteran Share Posted October 7, 2006 Considering this is just more updates but none of the predicted new stuff, I think I might wait till RTM and give it a fair try then. Will be interesting to see how the released version compares in performance, etc to some of the earlier builds, and RC1 and 5728 that I tried!

marc2003 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 2 great things about rc2 so far.... sound works in pro evo 5. this has never worked on any previous build that i've tried. and virtual clone drive works straight out the box. no messing about with cdrom.sys like you had to with the previous build. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfua Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 This is the first build thats worked for me. No more error 43 and Aero working fine right from first boot! :D Yep. I'm going to give Vista one more chance with this RC2 build.. if it still has Code 43 then I'm not trying it again until SP1 (I realize that's not going to come out until late 2007 at earliest... but still) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Frothy Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 So far I haven't had 5744 die on me yet. It's late, time for sleep. See what tomorrow brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirka Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 So far 5744 seems very snappy. The install was very fast and i haven't had explorer crash yet and I've been using it all day. The only problems im having are with installing programs. Here is a list of the ones im having problems with. 1. Nero 7.5.1.1 2. Kaspersky Antivirus 3. Logitech QuickCam 4000 4. Bluetooth Drivers for my Nokia 6230i 5. WDDM driver for my Intel 915gm video card Everything else seems to install without any problems. So if MS could fix these problems I would be ready to move to it full time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoochieMamma Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Why are they not testing any of the other languages? All I ever see each release is English, German and Japanese? Isn't RTM suppposed to have 30 languages built in or what? Are they not testing the other languages? Every release I only see English, German or Japanese? I thought RTM was supposed to have 30 languages integrated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
