Have anyone tried Vista on their T2X series? I would love to know the feedback....

I have been tempted to try it on either my T21 or one of the T23s that I have, but since it was slow on one of my PCs that is faster than either the T21 or the T23, I have held off.

I think one of the spec recomendations is a processor of at least 800MHz.

That might be a minimum requirement......I believe it need 'at least' 1000Mhz to push it. But I doubt any T2x will run smoothly with it..

The T23s have a 1.133 and a 1.2GHz processor that will beat out some 1.6 P4s. They might very well handle a streamlined version of Vista, with 1GB ram.

How about the graphics then? Will the outdated S3 in the T23 be able to support?

It should be able to support everything except the extreme graphics of the Aero Glass Interface.

There is a thread somewhere here that has a link to a Vista Beta tester, that will allow you to determine whether or not your system can handle Vista.

I have Vista beta 2 now installed on my t23 with 1,13 ghz and 512mb ram.

It works slow with standard vista-style (no glass but rounded edges ect)

The more design features I deactivate (mouse shadows, window animations, sounds) the faster runs vista.

Its nice for watching vista a little bit but working with it is not possible because 1. vista is not very stable -> not usable for serius working and 2. its too slow on a T23, but I can say its more faster than a older beta I've tested in March. Maybe the finished Vista in 2007 would be a little bit faster...

I think what is going to be real interesting is the PRICE

I ran it on my T30 and it ran OK, Bach some of the earlier beta's had a lot of issues with explorer, if you google your version you can find some tweaks to keep it from slowing down so much.

Beta 2 did not run much better on my T41, nice GUI but too many "security checks" built in so to delete a file, you need to acknowledge at least 2 times.
