Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: more than 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Nice interface. Nice additional programs. Faster load time than XP. DirectX 10 ready.
Cons: Cannot take more than 4GB. Slow; often crashes w/ large file transfers. UAC annoying.
Other Thoughts: I originally bought this b/c I thought I was going to use the systems in Business w/ the multimedia capabilies of Home. After one year of use, barely use either. Biggest gripe is that any memory after 4GB does not help this system, secondary to the 32 bit limit. If you plan on upgrading and building something now, go for 64 bit. UAC is also a pain--why do I need permission for everything to load and unload? Otherwise, ok Operating system; would have used a combo of XP 64 bit and Linux instead. One more thing; "Ultimate Extras" are definitely not worth the premium price compared to Home.
