Vista SP1 RC First Impressions

[looqas]

I'd rather see DX10 fully fleshed out in games. Although current cards are struggling. I see no point going to DX10.1 yet.

[=98=]

Well, there is a point in DX10.1. We won't see any changes but apparently it's easier to code the game.

I'm surprised that doesn't mess programs up...

There must be disadvantages of it surely?

It's all behind the scenes. Nothing affected at all.

Do you have a MSDN OS subscription? I'm just curious because I'm thinking about purchasing some form of subscription to MSDN (I'm starting to use Visual Studio quite a bit, and I could use '08 for sure so I could use some of the nifty Vista stuff like the Office Ribbon-style toolbars and some other Vista specific things).

Then get Visual Studio 08 Express? You don't need MSDN, it's geared toward actually companies.

Why does this seem too easy?

That's Vista

If you're on Server 2008 it's a different matter. You have to do... 2 commands.

[iQue]

1.) Start administrator mode command prompt

2.) Paste following command in: BCDEdit /set PAE forceenable

3.) Hit enter.

4.) Reboot.

And that will make Vista actually use 4 GB?

Just want to make sure I'm right cause then I might just buy 2 gigs extra RAM instead of just 1. Cool..
