Mine's doing OK with Vista as well, Used the excuse of Vista coming out to buy my 1st new PC in 2-3 years....

The graphics and HD ratings are 5.9 and 5.7 respectively, but the lowest score is 5.4 for Calculations per Second, so that's the score that shows overall. It's still not too shabby to be over 5 on a 1-5 rating scale. :) The modular cabling on the power supply is so cool. Only have to plug in the cables you need, no excess cables clogging up the interior of the case. :) >>I just installed VISTA Ultimate on my computer. >> >> >>My computer is a very simple i945G chipset based mobo with Pentium D 805 @ >>3.66Ghz and 2 GB of RAM. >> >>Vista runs fairly smooth, and surprisingly Aero Glass is enabled on the >>integrated graphics card. >> >>I must say that VISTA really does feel like XP with a thick layer of makeup >>on.
