I absolutely love this OS. I wouldn't go back to plan old XP. This is the perfect OS for an Entertainment System. The look is crisp, the additionals are fun (dancers, media center, games), and it seems to run smoothly (The help of a good graphics card wouldn't hurt). I've bought copies for everyone in my family to upgrade. Highly Recommended! A++++ |

What You Should Know
|
|
|
* The above
values are for physical, not usable memory.
The amount of
memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed
memory. For example, if you have 4GB installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will
typically report 3.2GB due to a limitation of Windows itself. Also note
that different Windows programs report available and maximum memory differently,
which can be confusing. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest
expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance
increase, and the one that is easiest to perform.
