resource hungry, and found compatability issues with some peripherals and software. I also believe that tradestation may have some conflicts as well... (do not run tradestation, read in previous posts).

I am running Duo 2 core with 4 gig of RAM and 2 ea. Nvidea 256mb dual head video cards. I have only installed MS office suite, adobe pro 8.1 and Norton Security. My resource monitor displays. 2.75 Gig of available memory... IMHO that appears very hungry.... I have had three fatal error shutdowns in the first 10-days of installation....

I do not see any major improvements over XP, other than some minor graphic effects and thumbnails for minimized programs... really just fluff...

It may work for some, however, I prefer the reliability XP pro has provided over the years.
