Ok, so I lied
June 18, 2008 – 16:24Vista Ultimate, the 32 bit version. Oh yeah, it only supports 3 gig of ram. For most people I guess this is fine.
However, my biggest issue is running out of ram and going in to swap, and explorer.exe taking up 2 gig of ram by itself.
I was sorting some articles that I had stored, and kept running into the dreaded not enough memory to complete error messages.
I imaged the machine, blew it clean, and installed 64 bit with sp1, it’s very stable. I think that installing sp1 after the fact wasn’t a great solution. I have read several articles that it’s better to either install clean with a slipstreamed vista sp1 disk, use a disk that already has sp1 included from Microsoft, or service pack immediately after installation.
