Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1: Results
I went ahead and installed Service Pack 1 for Vista last night. I like the idea of being a test rat. Anyways, I started the update and just walked away. I kept my antivirus running, and all my other programs. I did close out all the windows before I started.
I will report there are no new problems. I couldn’t believe it either. I heard of some USB problems so I checked on my external hard drive, and it was good to go.
I have to confess, I don’t see any major differences. I heard all it was going to do was be some bug fixes and performance enchancements.
I tested to see if the speed in which windows unzipped a file was any faster. NOPE! For a file that 63k it took around 18 seconds. Zip-7 took less than one second to unzip the same file. I never understood that.
Here is my setup:
Processor: DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2 Black Edition, 2600 MHz (13 x 200) 5000+
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS (256 MB)
RAM: 4GB of OZC SLI Ready
