Its for a new box, and the only bit of hardware that isnt fully suported appears to tbe the MX1000 MouseWare. The Motherboard is AMDs latest chipset even. Everyone keeps telling me there are issues with hardware support, and since the manaufacturers are producing full sets of drivers im tempted. What I want to know is if there are any issues with software. Im assuming Office 2k will run ok, but im wondering about how games and the like work.
Plus one advantage is im starting it with 2Gb of RAM, ill be adding another 2Gb next month. Give it 12 months itll get upgraded past that as RAM prices fall even further. When you get past 4Gb XP 32 Bit is screwed, and I wont use Vista until at least the 1st service pack(more likely Vista SP2). Ive been there before with 2k, i bought it when it 1st came out and installed it, then rolled back to NT4 about 2 weeks later.
Bare in mind VISTA 32bit supports a max of 4GB memory.
Now thats not RAM like you and I might think but 4 GB memory in total.
My housemate bought 4gb of ram, inserted it and ran vista up... only 3gb appeared.
Turns out it takes video memory (he has 2 512mb 6800s) as addressable memory as well. will only ever show 3gb.... removes a video card, voila 3.5gb, puts it back in... 3gb..
lol.
Very very gay.
