Just an update. The switchover to Vista was a bit rocky for a while as I fought with a videocard that WOULD NOT WORK. I had just given up, when I stumbled across one at Staples (an overclocked GeForce FX 5500 – PCI version!!!) and it worked. So now I have Aero Glass goodness.

I’m also finding that I can play SimCity quite well. Other games, well, I’m scared to try, since I gave The Movies a whirl a few weeks ago and it ground the computer to a halt.
