4.0 out of 5 stars Windows Vista Home Premium OEM/OEI DSP - 64-bit Edition, 26 May 2008
By Mr. Warren Gill (Guildford, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this sometime ago and was going to install it on my old AMD A64X2 system until it went kaput!

So I bought all new components (£700's worth) and installed it.

Installation was so easy!

Just make sure that you when you goto install it that you tell the computer to boot from your CD/DVD drive by altering the settings in your computers BIOS and away it goes, you may need a little twiddling if you're going to use RAID, but I don't use it and it took about 45' to install.

I've had no driver problems at all, but then all of my components are new, however you may have a little bother if you use older componentry. So it maybe worthwhile checking compatibility before you choose to install Vista 64-bit.

You may find the most irritating thing about Vista is the UAC (User Account Control) keeps intervening, but you can quite easily turn it off in the Control Panel.

Also you may find that high speed wireless connections will only run at 54Mbps (Netgear) so do check if you use WiFi with your router & WiFi card (if applicable) manufacturer before hand if that sort of thing bothers you!

Most software (But NOT all) seems to work just remember there's the odd exception, but that I think is to be expected as XP is now pretty much the standard OS these days.

If you're at all worried about Vista, try doing a dual boot system so you have XP & Vista on your hard drive making the compatibility issue a non issue, just make sure that you install XP first otherwise it can get complicated.

So overall quite happy with the move from XP to Vista, one or two little niggles so I took a star off for those.

Oh by the way if you want to install MORE THAN 3Gb of system RAM then you'll need Vista 64-bit, the 32-bit can't access anymore than that!

Finally. This is the OEM version of Vista as a consequence if you install it on your system it "lives" with it & "dies" with it, if you have any sort of idea about porting it from one machine to another or your motherboard dies then this will die with it. Any doubts buy the Retail Version.

I now have a system which consists of:

A Q6700 Intel processor slightly overclocked to 3.01Ghz
Asus P5K Premium Motherboard
4Gb of Ram
2 Opitarc DVD/CD writers
A Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard
1.5Tb of Disc Space
A BFG 8800GTS OC Graphic Card

And it all zips along quite nicely!

2.0 out of 5 stars A very fast OS - once it works, 18 April 2007
By C. Rivett-carnac "Chaz" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I installed 64 bit vista on my AMD 64 machine. I had previously run Win XP x64 and was impressed with the speed, but had to spend ages on getting all the right drivers for everything. I upgraded to vista because I assumed that all the drivers will be available.

However, I was proved wrong. Problem after problem, struggle after struggle. Even games made by Microsoft like 'Age Of Empires 3' don't work unless you find the updates. You are very likely to come across problems with sound drivers too. The speed that x64 vista gives you is hardly worth the time it takes to get it working - assuming you ever do.

Vista is a great OS - I have the x32 'Business' version on my other machine. Some of the touches are brilliant, including the sidebar (where gadets like clocks and notepads can be added) and the improved Start button with built in search. Just avoid the x64 versions. It's simply not worth it. x32 additions are not that much slower if you have an AMD machine but the chances of compatibility problems with your system are much lower.

Only buy if you truely know what you're doing.
Otherwise, 5 stars for the x32 version.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never thought I'd say anything good about a Microsoft OS!, 24 May 2008
Bad reviews, like those below really put me of Vista. After XP service pack 3 caused my PC to become totally unusable, I couldn't face yet another installation of it, especially with the RAID driver hassles. So I took a risk and bought the 64 bit Vista OS with SP 1. I ran the Vista tool from the MS website first just to check all my hardware was OK and had all the 64 bit drivers out so I figured it'd be OK.

After the usual idiot errors MS make on OEM installations I now have it running and couldn't be happier. No driver problems at all, very slick and a much improved media centre, very solid and stable. I've not had one crashed program, hang, BSOD, etc. My computer is also working much faster under this than it ever did with XP and that's something I truly didn't expect.

I never thought i'd say it but it's actually a very good OS.

There is an installation 'issue' if you have a RAID drive setup and any other additional hard drives in your machine.

Vista will recognise the RAID and let you install onto it...BUT... it will install some of the critical boot files on any other drive it finds (i.e. D:); meaning the computer won't boot. You need to remove any additional drives other than the RAID drives your installing it onto first. After it's on the RAID put in your other hard drives and it'll be OK.
