So I whacked a GeForce FX5500 video card in

so see if "Vista Experience" base score would improve but primarily so GET
better performance. My baseline score went from 2.0 (Video for Aero /
Windows performance)
to 3.6

BUT better, for a 9yo box thats gone thru :
WIN3.1/WIN95/WIN98/WIN98SE/WIN2000/WINXPPro

with RAM upgraded and now video card and a USB2 port, now that I have solved
my netwoking issue with my wifes XPPro PC (a simple firewall adjustment to
OneCare firewalling!)...I can say...

....this thing flies pretty **** well!

Vista or XP? NO CONTEST...

VISTA
