Speed increase with RAM?
- Thread starter SilverZx3
- Start date
I bought a Dell Dimension XPS with Vista Ultimate and the prebuilt version of Vista was so slow and had a tendancy to blue screen. I performed a fresh install of Vista removing all the prebuilt crap and patched it up (drivers and OS) and it works a treat. The only issue I had was the Vista network driver did not allow a network connection until the speed/duplex was forced (this was resolved after a driver upgrade)

Silver, why not just download Nlite (do a google for it), download the drivers you need (Sata and any other ones) and slipstream the entire thing then burn it to a dvd?
You can fully automate the install, have the serial for XP already built into the image, have it updated with all the latest SP's and Hotfixes as well as any drivers you wanted to add yourself, it's a great util and can save a lot of time when you want to reinstall... oh and it can also remove any of the XP crap that you don't want to have installed.
Well worth the time to have a look at it, get what you need done right the first time and keeping the CD\DVD handy for when you want to rebuild.. never any worries about needing a floppy either.

The real world is not about exam scores, it's about ability.
