i've put it on three systems so far, and none had issues. All had deamon tools, kaspersky, and thats it for running apps in the background.

If you've disabled any services, i suggest putting em back on.

Hi,
Anyone know if PAE is enabled by default now in SP1. Or does it still need the command line switch??

Cheers.

Lol, it's only 66.9 MB. After seeing all the pre-quils and hacks of 400 mb and 1 gig I just found it funny that it was so tiny... Not sure if there's a part 2 to this install but we'll see soon enough

Ignore my previous question. Going to try installing SP1 as soon as the Beta uninstalls. Hopefully I get my vista index back!

people who were up to date are only taking 70MB. Thats because SP1 includes all the updates as well.

IMO, grab the full standalone version - when you next format, or update another rig you will save the badwidth you spent on the larger file.

just so that you know.

Vista SP0 read how much ram was available - so if you had 4GB but only 3GB was usable, it would show 3GB.

Vista SP1 shows how much is installed total, not how much is usable - so even if it reads 4GB, you're gunna be capped at 3GB usable.

as i said before i too have noticed some gaming improvements. would like more people to comment.

that makes sense...i guess its a "trick' but i had keyboard and mouse problems without the service pack and i was about to return the damn thing today good thing i went out on a limb and see if it would work with sp1 and it worked. i have the logitech mx 3200 desktop laser cordless. but off topic here, im guessing ms cancled the whole ultimate extras things?

ultimate extras went off, yeah.

Vista had an update for USB and 4GB of ram, i needed it to make my webcams work - it was never on windows update, and had to be acquired manually.

Been running SP1 since mid february (yay for Technet-access :P) without issues what so ever. Installed it on two game-boxes and three laptops. Seen increases in speed when it comes to copying large files/horde of files to/from disk and network, Boot-speed is pretty much the same (never been an issue for me anyway, as I can easily wait the few extra seconds. Perfect get-more-beer-break).

Also seen a marginal increase in framerates in games (5 to 10ish on average) compared to SP0. World in Conflict, Company of Heroes, Crysis and other DX10-games now look better (Lots of small details that raise the general yumminess of the games).

mussels

the ram available with vista simple or vista with sp1 is not relevant, because the windows will set a value that dependents from one hardware configuration to another hardware configuration.

Also in time the windows try to optimize the space that he (vista) use in memory. So if you have a pc with a clean install and one pc with vista installed two weeks ago, the vista space in memory will be different from one pc to another, even are same configuration.

that was all with vista memory eating

and now ... my vista say the sp1 patch on the windows update list (that from vista) will need 120MB space to download..

I also wait to see if will have a positive impact on the masses
