What do you think? What are your computer specs and computer rating? (see below if you don't know what i'm talking about)

I'm running Beta build 5600 32bit version on a P4 3ghz, 1gb ddr ram, 300GD hd, and a Nvidia 6800 128mb PCIx... i have an Overall Rating of 3.

I like it makes it more like a Mac GUI, but the overhead :eek: dayum its a resource hog... from what i was reading you need 512mb for minimum requirements. I haven't ran into any issues other then some driver problems b/c companies like CREATIVE won't release Vista drivers until next month. That and i had to shut it down manually 1x or 2x.

Anyone else?

I'm running it and enoying it so far. I'm mostly waiting for DX10 to come out... and to get a 360 to hook up to it.

I'm running it but I don't use it all that much. I'll run that test in a few seconds.

Ever since I posted to Vista pack a LONGGG time ago I got tired of it. Just that visual pack alone used up a ton of space and slowed down the comp. I'm ok with XP for now!
