Took longer than I expected, I thought I had a dual X86/X64 version of Vista, but mine was x86 only! So, I have borrowed the MSDN subscription copy from work for testing.
I have installed Vista Ultimate, but without using the Product Key, so I have about a month to play with it before it expires, but that should be long enough.
The HDD I used was actually a 250GB unit, so plenty big enough to install a few applications as well for a more complete appraisal.
Initial reaction? Well all the hardware works, so drivers are no longer a major issue, performance seems to be just ‘a tad’ slower than the x86 version, but that may be down to the fact of it’s running on a slower disk drive. When it was first installed it was really slow, but that was sorted by installing the latest graphics drivers (GeForce 7 series) from Nvidia’s web site
