Windows Xp..........Windows Vista.......?????

Hi!....I'm back... sorry for the long absence.








I recently bought a new Hp notebook (dv2000 series)... Also to explain why i haven't been blogging is because my faithful Acer notebook had her motherboard 'burnt out'. thanked God it as still under waranty.





My new HP has a ---intel Centrino Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz Processor, 120Gb Hard Drive, 1Gb ram (just upgraded it to 2GB toDay), NVIDIA geForce Go7200 display card, a built in web cam with 2.0MP, lightScribe labelling, Altec Lansing speakers,the normal bundle dvd...... and Windows Vista Home Premium.





As I was playing around my new gadget, I notice that during startup ...Vista seems to be slower than Xp. Hence that's to explain why i went upgrading the RAM. I also notice during idle it took up more than 70% of RAM. So friends from Windows XP, a word of advice, b4 upgrading to VISTA, PLZ remember to upgrade your RAM FIRST!



Inside Vista, there is quite a number of changes to the overall outlook of Windows. There seems to be somewhat similarities to our 'cousin' Mac. The placing of some items, icons and etc are also different. Took me more 2 weeks to reasonably understand the new VISTA.

more news later, gonna read up on Windows Vista.
