its been reported to not work on the Vista Compatibility List

Quote:
PeerGuardian 2.0 Beta 6b & 6c - 32/64 bit - Installs and seems to work but in fact doesn't because driver won't install to Vista. It's useless atm. Old Windows 98/ME version works but it only blocks TCP connections. There are other methods to block the blocklisted ports without PG2, just google for it.
PeerGuardian 2.0 RC1 Test 2 (tested with 32bit) - Installs and blocks IPs correctly. However UAC blocks it at startup and Tray-Icon can sometimes disappear (delete lists and cache.p2b and it should work again).
and, on the PeerGuardian site:

Note: PeerGuardian 2 does not support Windows Vista at the moment. This is a top priority, and we hope to have a Vista download soon.

also i got one more question. i am planning on buying a Sager NP2092 and while customizing it, i saw the options for 4GB of ram and Intel 1GB TurboMemory Module. however it says that i need to buy windows vista in order to had that to the laptop. i was wondering if i can buy the laptop with those two options and then downgrade the laptop to XP?, also will those two items still work with XP?

Direct from the Microsoft site
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system...AE/PAEmem.mspx

Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 Memory Support. The maximum amount of memory that can be supported on Windows XP Professional and Windows Server 2003 is also 4 GB.

But then it also says this

The virtual address space of processes and applications is still limited to 2 GB unless the /3GB switch is used in the Boot.ini file
