So how is it? Does it solve compatibility issues? Does it increase the speed?

Does it require validation?

Don't all service packs require validation?

Compatability? No

Speed? No

Validation? You can get around it

Not gonna lie.. For as much as I used to hate Vista, I am really liking Vista Ultimate x64

I thought Vista had SP1 for awhile now?

What's the difference between that and the 32-bit version.

Or should I say x86.

Not really sure on the software differences, but it runs hells fast with my 6GB of memory. Had a rough start, but everything is smoothed out now and I am really liking it. Haven't had a chance to do any gaming yet, as I don't have any games at the moment that I could really test it with.

I have heard that x64 is great for gaming though.

It is for games that support it. I got x64 XP when it came out and x86 games were much slower.

Thankfully, virtually all games support it now :D

SP2 is in beta, and I am using it right now. It's been running really well. I currently am only running 2 GBs of ram since I had to send 2 sticks off for RMA, and everything has still worked smoothly.

I think half the reason people hate vista is because they sell it on PC's with as little as 1/2GB ram yknow, it'll run like a dog on anything like that once you've used it for a while and accumulated some files and software. I've got 2GB and its running brilliantly, whats the new SP all about?

It's nothing that'll knock your shoes off like the XP SP2.
