    Hello.
    I am confused, Updgrading to Vista?
    I have a A100-200 Laptop.

    -1.6 Intel Centrino Duo
    -512mb RAM

    I mean it can be slow sometimes now.
    I have ordered Vista, and should see how its runs. But what do you think with those specs?

    [How do you use the two processors inside your laptop?
    Mine states only 1.6.
    But i know there is two.
    Why doesn't it say 3.2? Or working at that speed?]
    Thanks.

    512MB memory is a bit too low for Vista. I would suggest upgrading to 1GB atleast before installing, otherwise it is going to be slow experience. As for as your processor, it has two 1.6GHz cores and they dont add up to 3.2. It is more of a parallel computing where the 2 cores share work.

    Just Say No to Vista. Terrible memory usage and control with less stability. Just Say No to Vista.
