Hi,I saw the news on Phils blog and I've just downloaded it. I know that this is a beta, but it should be stable enough when it's a release candidate (I hope). Anybody have any experience of Vista SP1 RC? Is there any reason not to install?Edited: Well, never mind. I'll install it and hopefully it will work ok.Ulf BCore2Duo X6800, 4GB RAM, BFG 8800GTXCreative SB X-Fi (Gamer mode)Vista 32, FSX Acc/SP2

Hi again,No problems installing SP1. Vista seems to work ok. Only difference that I've noticed so far is that boot time (from BIOS sceen to Vista logon) has increased about 40%. Wonder why. I've got the same services disabled as prior to installing SP1.Ulf B

Let us know how FSX doesI hope you scribbled down some performance info for before-and-after comparisons.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

Rhett,No I didn't. I usually go for my gut feeling. I didn't notice any difference in FSX. But have look at this thread. http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...topic_id=427257Ulf BCore2Duo X6800, 4GB RAM, BFG 8800GTXCreative SB X-Fi (Gamer mode)Vista 32, FSX Acc/SP2
