So I whacked a GeForce FX5500 video card in

so see if "Vista Experience" base score would improve but primarily so GET
better performance. My baseline score went from 2.0 (Video for Aero /
Windows performance)
to 3.6

BUT better, for a 9yo box thats gone thru :
WIN3.1/WIN95/WIN98/WIN98SE/WIN2000/WINXPPro

with RAM upgraded and now video card and a USB2 port, now that I have solved
my netwoking issue with my wifes XPPro PC (a simple firewall adjustment to
OneCare firewalling!)...I can say...

....this thing flies pretty damn well!

Vista or XP? NO CONTEST...

VISTA

networking issues! Much Appreciated
