^^^ Vista 64... IDLE! ^^^
Nothing running but task manager and Windows background apps.
Rediculous.
And people ask me why I have 8 gigs of ram. Cause Vista is a memory PIG!
Im gonna have to agree with Bacon. I love how the computer I use at work runs XP absolutely fine on 256 megs of ram and its like 6-8 years old. I thought technology was supposed to get more efficient as time progressed? Im might buy XP 64 and go back to that next time I format unless a service pack solves some of these stupid memory issues.

You may have been looking at the upgrades. Last time I was at futureshop (FS sucks anyway though), Ultimate was $400, and like 200 for an upgrade or something...

I'm running xp 32-bit, is 64-bit a lot faster? i.e. worth a hard drive format?

Ok what?

Not 400 quid, 400 dollars. 400 Canadian dollars.
Also, when was it "free"?

Ok, well, the main 2 XP versions are pro and home. Anyway, Vista ultimate and XP Pro are about on the same level, imo.
