im building a new system and wanted know how live runs with vista
my machine will be
intel quad core
4gb ram
i appreciate any feedback
thanks

I know this much...... windows in total is fantacstic for ripped anything, however any operating system you use that is not stricty a DAW (other than OSX) always presents some form of issue. I would recommend just going straight mac! save your sanity! plus some friends of mine are having real issues with vista in total - it looks good though! but not good enough for a straight jacket!

Looks good. Vista has no issues with Live at all, I'm very pleased with my performance.

Hey.

Just don't skimp on the motherboard, get something good. And two SATA drives, one for the system and one your audio and project files. You'll be flying...

Make sure there are Vista drivers for your audio card, though. I hear M-Audio are dragging their feet, but then if you're throwing money at a quad core with 4G RAM, you should have the budget for something better than that...

lol @ billdiz, you reallly had to try..... to evangelize

djfm is it so hard to look at the top of the forum and read the sticky discussions about vista? do you know what the search button (here above) is for?
