Yea I'm testing one care also after an invite for the beta 1.5. But your right on a full virus scan I ran one last night after I installed it on my Vista HDD and after 1 hour was only 30% of the way through.

Still I like the option of backing up and auto defrag - I'm buying an 80gig IDE 2.5 inch HDD for my external enclosure to test this back-up function.



Well after I'm finished playing with vista I'm thinking about playinf with another OS.

What do people recommend???

Yea I've had a look at the link on OSX, using Tiger but I think you need to get the OS through bittorrent, and my home cable internet connection is getting high after 3 Vista downloads & beta 2007 etc etc etc.

Maybe next month I'll have a crack - if you get a copy let me know I'm in Sydney NSW also.

And I got a bit in the crap for downloading about 1gig at work!!!! - Dam the IT department always foiling the fun!!!!

That was probably me, I'm tri-booting with OS X, just download this torrent when you get some space in your bandwidth. After you burn that ISO partition your hard drive with a 10GB partition, then boot to the OS X disk. From the boot disk go to Disk Utility and format the 10GB partition to Apple Journaled, then install to that partition. If you need any help just pm me.

I have to agree with the Scottsman, These drivers suck big time. Playing Far Cry 1.3 I only get around 20-25 FPS on very high setting. Got 40+ plus with 96.33 and 60+ with XP using 91.37 tweaksrus.com drivers

**sigh**

Yep these drivers are NBG - screen flashes when looking at the 3D image under Nvidia control panel. Fear ran at the stunning speed of 75% below 25 frames/sec.

Got pissed swapped out HDD's back to MCE!!!
