various questions about Vista

[nguyen1025]

Hi,

I've been out of the computer scene for quite a while and i just have various questions about vista. My comp in my sig, i know it meets the requirements, but will vista be slow on my computer? Also, the x1800xt is 512mb but it is dx9, should i make the upgrade to a dx10 card like an 8800gts that is 320 mb? And what vista package is best for me, all i do is word process, surf web, and play games.

Vista will run very well on your rig. That's actually the kind of rig that will run it faster than XP.

As for a dx10 card... I would say no need at the moment. Wait until a killer app hits that makes you want dx10 and upgrade then.

It's a blob that detects as a 'test virus'. The definition is built into all anti-virus software. It allows you to perform AV testing on your network without playing with something live. It just tells you if AV is working...not if it's any good

Search the web for EICAR for more info.

Trend Micro doesn't see it.
