How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site. As for applications, I havent found one application that doesnt work with vista with the exception of Photoshop CS2, which messes up Aero, but CS3 fixes that. What are you going to be using the computer for? I know that a lot of Graphics Cards have drivers issues with Vista, but I am unsure about yours.. Your computer will run it fine. Well I was still hoping I could still play Counter-Strike Source, because I've heard that Vista is a bit of a memory hog, and will slow down my games.
I play CS:Source fine with basically the same set up, but replace the graphics with onboard, and add a gig of ram. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but iirc you are allowed to borrow someone's Vista disc, and install it in trial mode for 30 days.
Maybe you wanna try that and make sure everything's okay before buying a license. You can do it from there. It will copy the necessary files to your HD then restart your PC and continue setup from then on. No - there is no "trial mode". Those 30 days are just an activation grace period.
If you install Vista for those 30 days without a valid license it's just as illegal as downloading the disk and using a crack etc. Yeah, i agree with this. If you're using it for general stuff, 1GB is fine. If you're playing games anything recent you should try and get 2GB. Memory is dirt cheap these days anyway :p. Thanks for that.
I was looking over the internet but couldn't find an authoritative answer on the legality of doing it.. Edit: to save time, do you have a source to back up your claim? A specific paragraph in the EULA perhaps? I diagree with you Dispite what people say casually the only binding word is the EULA The EULA states the following This states that you're not under a license until you assign it to a device It doesn't state that you aren't allowed to use the software without being under a license so we get more clarification later in the EULA Activation associates the use of the software with a specific device.
