I am upgrading my workstation and going to get Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. I have a few questions. I was running XP x64 SP2.
Supermicro X7DWA-N motherboard
pair of Intel E5430 quad core 2.66 GHz 1333 MHz Xeons
16GB DDR667 ECC FB-DIMM
LSI Logic 8708EM2 SAS RAID controller
pair of Supermicro M28E1 8 drive enclosures
RAID 1: Seagate Savvio 146GB 2.5" drives + hot spare
eVGA 8800 GTS 640MB video card.
PC Power and Cooling 1kW-SR customed wired power supply
20A circuit
Tripp Lite 20A 2400W line conditioner
I am planning on adding RAID arrays in the future. The enclosures can hold 16 total drives.
It was built for A/V and CAD work.
I have two tape backup drives: LTO3 400GB and VXA-3 160GB. Does Vista x64 Ultimate have tape backup software like XP x64 SP2 NTBackup?
Can I add my user to the administrators group? I was told how to re-enable the administrator account.
Can I disable DEP like in XP x64 SP2 with boot.ini command. /NoExecute=AlwaysOff
I am planning on moving paging, temp files, temporary internet files to RAID 0 3 drive array. Will I have any issues?
Can I move the My Documents folder like I did in XP x64 SP2. I usually put it on my apps RAID array.
