 vista 512 from xp 64 thats 4x. and it barly will run on 512 you need at least 2 gigs or more and at least a dule core prosser and even then its still horiddly slow. even with the update.

<<-- Vista Ultimate running on a 1.4 P4 with 512 of ram. Uptime 10 days now since last reboot (Adding media center toys) no slow down and runs great. So not sure what you are saying, personally this is the fastest this particular machine (House server for movies, music, etc) has ever run.  

As for on topic still can't find the darn settings for this tv and wish there was an easier (i.e point and click and no fiddling with crap in Media center. I do hate media center) setup process (going to try the cd settings that was mentioned.)

As for watching Heroes on tuesdays. Yeah I know how that is

It actually runs fine on my older P3 laptop with 1GB as well.  Try running it on high end hardware, it's horrific.  

It's not just me, you can read countless articles in all of the major magazines.  Of course, a lot of people will run fine, but a ridiculously high percentage of people have problems.  

Perfect example:  Jin Louderback, Editor in Chief of PC Magazine, and a HUGE proponent of Vista since it's launch, finally breaks down and admits how terrible the OS is this month.  I guess since he is resigning, he is finally able to speak his mind.  Here is a quote from the end of this article:

http://www.pcmag.com...,2171472,00.asp

"I could go on and on about the lack of drivers, the bizarre wake-up rituals, the strange and nonreproducible system quirks, and more. But I won't bore you with the details. The upshot is that even after nine months, Vista just ain't cutting it. I definitely gave Microsoft too much of a free pass on this operating system: I expected it to get the kinks worked out more quickly. Boy, was I fooled! If Microsoft can't get Vista working, I might just do the unthinkable: I might move to Linux."

I run Vista on several machines.  The amount of problems I have encountered in this OS are just innumerable.  It's really a ridiculously bloated mess.
