PC - The truth about Vista? - View Post

I noticed that, I figure that's what I would do. I just heard problems about people updating from XP -> Vista on the same PC and having problems. Although if yo u have the right specs and everything it should be fine since it won't be a HUGE change.

The problem with the XP --> Vista transition is Vista uses (going by my system) 3x the RAM while doing nothing as opposed to XP, and it also requires a decent graphics card to support Aero.

 

Vista --> 7 shouldn't be as painful because apparently 7 is less of a burden on systems.
