The memory management is MUCH better..... Like I said..... Same machine..... Running XPpro and then upgraded to Vista Ultimate........ It's like a new machine. Photoshop CS2 with tons of extras loads now in 2 seconds or less.... Took 5 or more before. Every program I have loads instantly now and no crashes yet. I haven't even gotten into all the other features such as bitlock.
The only weird thing I've noticed is my mousepad... When I go to scroll on the right side the cursor jumps about half an ince to the left...... Still scrolls...... Very minor annoyance considering the awesome performance improvement. I'm sure enough people will complain to Dell about this and they'll get an updated driver. Actually, I think I'll write them about it.....
I would think people having problems maybe don't have a stout enough machine or graphics card.
It blows XP away in performance.... That's about 95% of the rating in my opinion........
