so yea i hate vista usually because its toooo slow compared to xp and i dont like the new interface...but im willing to change to it. I got a duel boot xp and vista, and every time i want to switch to vista i get pissed within minutes, games slower, applications slower, etc. I only got 2gb of ram. If i upgrade to 8gb of ram i would have to install 64bit version of vista, i dont like to do this, im lazy. Would u see a huge performance difference from vista 2gb to vista 8gb? I dont want to get 4gb because ram is already tooo cheap. Lastly what are ram timings? i got 5-5-5-18, how much performance increase would i see if i get 4-4-4-12?
