vista 32 bit

Generally, how well will Vista run on 32bit machines ?
Specifically , for following hardware :
Intel® CoreT Duo Processor T2400 1024MB PC5300 DDR2 667MHz SDRAM 160GB HDD NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7900 GS with 256MB GDDR3
Specifically, an acceptable level of performance for development of software to run on Vista ? Or unacceptable ?

Looks good to me, John.
Vista runs quite well on both my P4 2.4 GHz and my GQ Laptop Celeron 2.4 GHz 32 bit machines. In fact, I'm thinking you'll have more trouble running on a 64 bit machine than a 32 bit machine. At least at this point. May be a different story later on . . .

Nice system. I agree with Nancy, You should be fine with Vista. Let us know how it goes when you decide to install it.

Applied but still waiting to be accepted for the Vista Beta Testing group. Can't wait to be able to play and help make it even better.

Seriously, its a great system, just knowing that he will be getting Glass on his laptop has made jealous.

That is a nice system - so far I've found x86 versions of Vista running really well - x64 generally a bit more problematic but I think it's because of drivers rather than the OS itself.

FWIW, I installed 5381 on a 5-6 year old clone with P3 800 Mz, 512 MB and a newly bought ~$50 Asus ATI Radeon 9550 SE chip with 128 MB DDR memory video card stuck in it's AGP4x slot. It has on old SuperMAX 56I modem for faxing and a LinkSys NC-100 ethernet card connected to my DSL gateway both of which needed drivers but the old Win-2000 drivers installed and work fine. The installer updated the ATI video drivers to the latest ATI WDDM drivers with glass.
Not speedly but good enough to play around with and enjoy the eye candy...

With lots more money. :)

If it makes you feel any better Andre - I'm sick of it now. I'm working on getting Glass to work on a standard XP machine - even though it'll be PNG based as the current Glass is on Vista, still trying to work on that.
However on my production Vista machine - the Theme's service is well and truly off. Just got sick of it!

Instead of working on getting it on XP, why not do it for users who can't get Glass in Vista? :) -- -- Andre Windows Connected | http://www.windowsconnected.com Extended64 | http://www.extended64.com Blog | http://www.extended64.com/blogs/andre http://spaces.msn.com/members/adacosta

In theory, it'd work exactly the same way... .... now you've got me thinking again..... hmmm.....

So it seems the major bottleneck for enjoying the Glass eye candy is the video card...;-)

John-
I'm running it on basically the same hardware and performance is OK, not great. But betas are always a little on the slow side. A few things are exceptionally slow. But in general it's acceptable.
