Well fellas, as far as a personal user standpoint here, I love it so far. It looks amazing, but it somehow fast as hell. In fact, I think it performs better than XP, with twice the fluff going on. Also played several games, and they seem to run as good if not better as well. Big thumbs up from me so far.

I'm curious about your hardware if its so fast. I take you you're running a dual core and at least 2gb of RAM?

Naa people sayin that you need all these ridiculous specs are full of shit. I am running an athlon 64 3700 (single core) with 1 gig PC3200 DDR, Nvidia 6800 XT.

Runs like a dream.

I would guess most people dont have that 256 bit address on their video card like you do. :wink2:

The PC I'm getting in about three weeks will have an AMD 64 3500, 2GB Dual channel DDR2 at 533Mhz-2-DIMMs and a Nvidia 7300LE Turbocache.

This site says it is basically a Mac rip-off.

I am not surprised :p

I just got Vista Pro/Business. Nice graphics. Of course Lexmark hasn't created a driver for my X83 printer :(

Do NOT use this OS unless you have a gig of RAM. Just running background processes is chewing up nearly 500k of my memory, let alone what happens when I start running apps.

Oh, and if your Firefox window is bouncing uncontrollably, turn off the empty bookmark toolbar :wink:

Haven't had enough time to toy around and see what it can do, but I do like the graphics.

Doesnt surprise me, Lexmark is such shit. I completely quit buyin them.

I certainly wouldnt try to play any games on it. I have to admit, the gadget bar is neat (yes, I'm easily amused....)

Naaa I disagree, have already played several games on it, and I am runnin a gig of ram as well. Been playin Battlestations Midway, have played Fear, Halflife 2, and Rainbow Six Vegas. All run great.
