Vista - Wow! Vista is incredible!

Agreed!

Only if it was a bit faster it would be great.... ( I mean Beta 2)

Code optimization is apparently well underway now (only 4 months to release
so I would hope so) and 5472 runs much faster than 5384. You will be much
happier with RC1 in a month or so.

I'm glad of that. Hopefully the bugs that were annoying me
in my general everyday use will have been ironed out...:-)

Check those closely in RC1. The bug level for fixes is now well above the
nuisance level so time would be essential.

I will. I've sent in bug reports for the problems I had, but most
of those were already known issues. Sent them anyway just for
reinforcement. If the issues with SATA and RAID drivers
continues, I'll either buy a different motherboard, or buy
a higher end SATA RAID card and see if that helps.

I'd sure hang in there trying to get MS and your mobo manufacturer to
support your equipment without having buy anything new. Why not?

Thing is, I'm looking for either a card or mobo with true RAID
capabilities. From the research I've done, the Promise
FastTrak 376/378 that I have isn't quite up to present standards
and I really, really want to upgrade...LOL

Then I think I would go for the mobo and maybe a cpu.

That's what I'm thinking too. I've played with an
AMD 64bit 4400 system and it was really quick, but
I think I want to go with a Pentium 64bit Dual Core
CPU. Something as far past my Pentium 4 as my
Pentium 4 was past the AMD Athlon 1200 cpu in
my wife's box....:-)
