    I rele have no problems... in fact its running GREAT. obv... with average RAM usage at 49%, kinda annoying, even tho i know its only cuz that much RAM is idle anyway. Basically made this thread for other Ultimate ppl... and just think its cool.

    Dreamscene - I just found out about it last nite... and have searching all over the web for background... it jumps the RAM to 57%, but i think its worth it. I shut it off wen im about to play games, but other than that its great lol.
    http://dream.wincustomize.com/index.aspx is a great website which has a program that allows dreamscene to play moving pix, .dream files which is a cool addition, as u can download alotta free ones. Personally im sticking with the jungle river one tho, so serene.

    TPM - i used to keep a wordpad file with all passwords that i used to make hidden and hoped no comp geeks realized to make folder options "show hidden files". this program rele makes this easy, even inputs the passwords to the website for you wen u click on it.

    Hold 'em - lol i cant beat it on easy or medium... but on the hardest settting, i won first try. Not as fun as actually playing with alotta ppl... but a time killer. Time that i wont have in a few weeks... >_< (college)

    so yea... basically just futzing around with the system... the screen scrolling system is cool too... where each of the screens is still running in realtime and you move between them.
    it sux that Ad-aware 07, and Rivatuner dont work with it yet, well... maybe just for 64bit, which is wat i have. I figure this lil thread can also be an "OFFICIAL" type thread lol. If any1 has vista ultimate likes/dislikes/issues/fixes, feel free to post. ill try to help ult.64 users...
    PS... to any1 reading this, deciding on an OS, Vista is not as bad as you may hear, and yes ive been using XP pro for the past 4 years, so i am comparing.

    Good to know someone liked dreamscene, I tried dreamscene for a while on my desktop and that thing made navigating my desktop alot more difficult.

    ultimate does have shadow copy which can be handy for some people,
