The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Yeah, mine levelled out too. It was a combination of AV issues, Vista 64 issues and some niggling video card heat issues, but it's stable now too.

    Is there an improvement with the new install ?

    brosen you said that you use a lot of VMware. I tried to install Win7 64bit as a guest OS and I got an error message that my processor cannot support 64bit OSes!! (The PC runs on Vista 64 bit).

    Did you ever had any such problems? Are there any workarounds?

    Tnx!

    I'm using Vista 64, pruned down to make it work well with an SSD.

    Unfortunatly not, it's noisy at idle. But, when gaming or running anything 3d it goes into low and behaves.
