Those specs are waaaay better than mine and I'm running Vista with no issues. Get lots of sleep the day before it arrives...'cause you'll be too busy having fun when it does!

New setup has arrived...MUST wait for a day off before I even attempt to switch over

Great news, Jack... have lots o' fun with it.

I'm going in... See u in a few days

See u in a few moments I guess is what I meant... Vista running...So far so good!

Although my Task Mgr. says I have 57 processes running? Dear Lord...Any advice?

Not bad Jack...

mine say 73 process.. if I don't open anything..

That's not bad, Jack, not for Vista...  I have usually around that myself, and it's not a problem.  However, if you want to cut them back, try TweakVista and go into the 'Services' section, there are a few options there to choose from.

Mind you, with a rig like that I don't think you're going to have issues with those sevices eating up your resources and slowing things down.

Anyhow, go play with your new toy and have fun.

 That's quite good out of the box.About the same as the Home Premium rig I used last month..Mine had 73-78 with Home Basic I trimmed them down to 61 with all SD apps unloaded(but what fun is that),65 average. HP/MS thought I needed all sorts of things running that I'll never use.

Terrific specs,wish mine had those.

Wow, sounds like simpler transition than mine! Congrats!

I had to wrestle alligators for a day or two.

Yep...that's a nice rig. With that you can move up to editing Po's head into some great X-rated videos.    

Something that you'll be turning off the first day you use Vista. After the third time you click that you really, really, really want to run a program.

mine were more like lizards

loving it...UAC is off now

Fortunately, I know an old Seminole who taught me a few tricks.

And let me just say that once I got up and running, the first thing I did was head over to the GUI's and download everything I could get my hands on! Thank you eveyone
