Just to keep bragging, here is a video of the dream scene in action, sorry for the lag, notice that the cpu is running above 90%, cos fraps was not made to handle vista and aero

I suspect its your graphics card memory and system memory thats might be letting this down
aero requires 128mb graphics card but can run with a 64mb graphic card if you have 1gb ram (so I've read in a few places)

Too be honest though, on a laptop (HP as well) I got for £800 odd, 160gb HDD, 15.4" HD LCD, 128mb nVidia graphics, Vista Home premium, 1.6ghz AMD X2 dual-core, light-scribe direct disc labeling, built in webcam, dual-layer DVD re-writer + more isn't bad! And it's really slim and light.

seen a few people use that phrase on the internet but not got a clue what it means or why they use a p instead of o.

Pawns hutchygers. As you says it means owns. Its gangster apparently!! Well so word on the street has it.
I'm told old for all that though!
Upgrading from xp to vista aint a quick process is it? Takes the biscuit! Been installing for a good hour now!!

yeah, mine has all that too, but the flaw in yours is the crappy amd 1.6ghz cpu. you did not specify how much ram you have, so i expect it to be 533mhz, and 1gb.
@fatreg: my lappy took 10 minutes to install xp, and 20 mins to install vista. upgrading from vista to vista took 40mins in total.

Especially as this is a topic about DESKTOPS not Power or how uber l33t ur computer is... start a new thread for tha lol...
