I recently bought an Abit IP35-Pro board so I've been testing it with different configurations, for example 4x1GB versus 2x2GB. Different video cards 7600 GT vs X1950XT. Yes these are all things I have so I try different configurations. I've had to reactive no less than three times. So now that I have pretty much the configuration I want, I tried moving my Vista partition from my slower WD SE16 250GB to my new, faster Samsung 500GB drive. I knew I was going to reboot a lot so I didn't see the need to stress test my new HDD. Guess what, I've been locked out of Vista x64. It's our MSDN subscription license so now I have to explain why I used all of our licenses when I wasn't doing anything illegal.
I'm fed up, I just want a hassle free 64-bit OS where I can run VMWare sessions and install Vmware tools. That's basically what I'm doing now is bootstrapping VMWare sessions using Vista x64. I wouldn't even be running Vista x64 if XP took advantage of more memory. If I'm not mistaken there is a version of VMWare for Linux 64. Does anybody know a good Linux distro that has 64-bit drivers for the P35 chipset? For graphics, ATI X1950XT or NVidia 7600GT? The most important thing is being able to use more than 4GB of memory. I eventually want to go to 8GB.
