Vista?

#1 Post by skou » Sat Jul 15, 2006 7:10 pm

Has anyone else tried to run Windows Vista on a T2* series?

I have installed it on my T23, with on-board wireless, and all the drivers were installed.

Video was about the same as W2000 gave me, probably since Vista wants 256MB, and I have 16 MB. :D

Outside of Vista not letting me do what I want to, I am pleasantly surprised. HOWEVER, I will be running 2000, until it no longer works, and at that time, I will be looking into something "Penguin" flavoured.

I also tried Vista on my ABIT AA8XE based desktop, with similar results, except the video shortcomings.

I've been using Vista regularly on my T23 for a few weeks now.. I've still had NO major problems with it.. Mostly minor quirks that I HOPE MS fixes before the final release..
1 T23 1.13 Mhz.SXGA+..512 RAM..Built in Wireless
1 T23 1.13 Mhz..256 RAM...
1 600e that now a 600x(500Mhz) with 256 RAM
1 600x(500 Mhz) with 327 Ram
1 600x upgraded to 600Mhz with 256 RAM

Which T23 are you running Vista on? The one with 256MB RAM or the other one? I tried to install the 32-bit Vista on my T23 but failed, and I thought that's because it only has 256MB of RAM.
Microsoft Surface 3 (Atom x7-Z8700 / 4GB / 128GB / LTE)
Dell OptiPlex 9010 SFF (Core i3-3220 / 8GB / 8TB); HP 8300 Elite minitower (Core i7-3770 / 16GB / 9.25TB)
Acer T272HUL; Crossover 404K; Dell 3008WFP, U2715H, U2711, P2416D; Monoprice 10734; QNIX QHD2410R; Seiki Pro SM40UNP
