the darth contingency has chimed in and once again added no value to the topic. Do you two ever stop the sarcastic snipes at people?

No, Darth Lefty is the good one. The other Darth, not so much.

Well, I got the new putter up and running.

Man, it's smooth as silk, and fast like lightening!

The 22" monitor is awesome! Now I'm glad my old putter had a bad hard drive!

It's just amazing that seven years ago I paid twice as much money for half the power and memory I have in this new computer.

Makes one wonder how things will be ten years from now. What an amazing time to be alive!

wellwishing - after a week, report back as to how you like Vista. It could be a local version of MS's "Mojave" commercial.

Vista pre SP1 had many problems in stability, performance and compatibility issues with older software and drivers. Vista SP1 is very stable, performs well and has many useful features that make PC life easier. When something goes wrong, its suggestions to resolve the issue have reduced the number of family tech support calls. Overall, I believe Vista gets a bad rap because it does really well on new systems with 2+ GB RAM and a current proc.

Glad to hear you found a happy solution.

This new system has 3GB and a Dual Core Processor. Plus, I DO have the SP1 version of Vista. The sales person said it would pull a lot of memory, but I think he was hoping to lead me into a much more expensive system.

Right now I'm happy as a clam!

Thanks for the input. I don't follow the latest on the new computers so it helps to have more information.

Thanks!

The best part of my purchase was the price. I thought I may be looking at another thousand bucks to spend, then I saw the sale at Fry's in Friday's paper. I almost fell out of my chair!

I guess there is an upside to our bad economy. My wife is looking at me, she is just shaking her head. Says she wants one now.
