 |  Don't bother to change anything in lastest ATI Catalyst/driver for Vista; leave everything in default, or you see funny things on the screen. A laptop can never match desktop performance; from HDD to graphic card availabilities. After toying this around in the last two days, I am settled down with the current setting ...... LAN printer works; LAN network and file sharing are working fine in both wireless and RJ45; Office XP Pro; all Vista updates (I believe 8 of them); removed all the junks came with. Turn sidebar off until I get 2GB ram and SP1 released. For the money, it is giving me what I need (not want) for now. Sandra is telling me the T12060 (oem only Intel Duo at 1.6Ghz) is faster than Dothon 2.13Ghz, making me feeling a bit "longer and larger"  I will not put Vista in my desktop(s) until SP1 is released, and knowing compatibility issues are behind plus performance increase over XP Pro .... unless it is free.

| haha, time to log in once more, it's been a while. Anyway, I'm trying to test vista in several ways, performance wise, compared to XP on an identical system. As for the feel of the os, not much positive to say, I am stuck with a business versions from MSDNAA. But I'll keep you informed |

| Oh well, I am loading XP Pro into the new laptop I just can't stand the lack of support from so many software I am using; I will reinstall Vista after I get Nero 7.7.5, WinDVD 8, PartitionMagic 8.0, etc, etc... I am quite sure Vista will be okay by end of the year. ------------------- Edit - Could not proceed; I can't find drivers for the chipset, ethenet controller etc  . Gateway site does not have the information. Restoring back (I imaged the entire partition using Acronis), thank God I did that before hand.

| Haha; Vista has built in drive partition with full function - Shink to free up -> create partition for unallocated space -> format newly created partition. Nice, because Partition Magic 8.0 does not work .... and I could not find any third party support .... now I know why Right click "My computer"; to "Manage" to "Disk Management"

 | Vista ain't half bad, but it's not done yet. simple as that, as usual they released a not-finished version tot the public, so we can now be beta testers, and we have to pay for it;
