    I'll install and try, I really would recommend Vista over XP, Strangely it runs faster for me, and this is on the SSD not something new. But I am going to upgrade to a 1.8" ZIF drive.
    Ill report back once it's done.

    My vista runs faster than XP when i had it on here. And my 1GB arrived this morning, tried installing it before work, but no luck, going to try again later. I did install oragami, but it didn't work that well, but it is stil installed, and always running I think. It leaves an icon at the top of the screen in all programs. Ill try again after my extra 1GB is installed.

    No idea how, but it just did, xp was shit to be frank.
    I hadn't done any of the tweaks though, yet I haven't on vista either.
