I updated my ram and Vista is still running horrible, I think its my processor thats the problem, Its a Celeron 575 2.0ghz, It runs like XP does with 512mb ram, If you do more than one thing at once its sluggish even with 4gb ram, buring DVD's etc is a pain, Games like second life become unresponsive, I have dual booted with XP and it flies, Should I just stick to XP? The problem however with XP is it only sees 2.5gb ram, but even at that, it is a flying machine.

Any adice?

Vista will always run slower than XP on the same hardware. I tested several operating systems on my Mac; Mac OS X 10.5 was the fastest, then Windows XP, then Vista. Games that ran fine in XP were dog-slow on Vista.

That's progress for you I guess.

I see no difference in gameplay between the two, if nothing else I'm starting to see increased fps under Vista as drivers are peaking in maturity..
