Not enough RAM for Vista, really. You want at least 2GB. But I suspect it is
a driver issue. There are no Vista drivers for that system. It isn't really
suitable for Vista.

hey everyone!=) im new to this forum and im wondering if anyone can help
me with a problem i have.

i recently *installed windows vista ultimate 32-bit* on a *ultra 320
scsi drive* and was acting *slow and every-time i would open anything no
matter what it is it would appear by shades *(like when recording a tv
or a computer screen with a digital camera)**. i was thinking it was the
drive so i installed it on a *IDE drive* (80 GB) and still acts the
same. if anyone can help i would appreciate this.

Specs:
Poweredge 1600sc Server
(2) Pentium 4 Xeon Processors
1Gb of Ram
(2) Ultra 320 Scsi Drives
(1) IDE drive

I believe you'll find that if you install Linux, performance will be
stellar.

That's right and no LOL about it. Drivers, drivers, drivers. You can have
the best hardware in the world but if there are no drivers for the
operating system you want to run the box won't work right.

Unless you can write your own drivers. LOL.
