    My system (9451A21) use ATI X1400 card. See many thread about how well the Vista run with Intel GMA, i decided to try ATI's tool, similar like microsoft vista readyness program :

    http://ati.amd.com/technology/windowsvista/AreYouVistaReady.html

    The result quite amazing. It scale divide by 3 parts : Good, Better and Best. My system reach third quartile scale (just few mm from the "Best" scale). Generally, this system is capable to run Vista but not at the "Best" rate.

    At the Best tab it is shown "failed". The reason is in the graphic card only. To have the best Vista experience one card should be a X1800 and not the lower.

    I wonder to any of you who reach "Best" scale. Is it really difference than the "Good" or "Better"? What is the best experience Vista will give us?

    Thanks for all the reply.
