i have half a tb of virtual memory on here . Im installing sp1 as we speak will post how it works shortly.

I also have DDR 400 PC3200. I have ASUS A8N32SLI Deluxe MB w/AMD 3800 dual core cpu. When I had similar configuration with different MB I had choppiness. Which MB do you have, I'll look it up. I believe you should be good with that ram @ 4gb.

I have the Asus A8n32 Sli delux i believe.

Hmm
Same board. Here is a run down of what I did to correct the choppiness associated with Vista. Keep in mind I had XP x64 running on the same rig with no choppiness
1 Up the ram from 2gb to 4gb - No change in choppiness
2 Moved from a 6800 GS to 8800 GTS - No change in choppiness
3 Updated all drivers and bios for the MB - No change in choppiness
4 Installed service pack 1 - All choppiness went away
I haven't fired up XP since then

If you do in fact have the same MB its a good ideal to update drivers and bios. That MB was built for XP before vista release. It now has drivers designed for vista

ive never updated the bios before, whats teh chance of success and failure?

There is a software DL on the Asus support page that does it for you. You DL the software and most current bios. Install the software, hit update bios it then ask you where the bios is on your computer so you point to the bios you DLed and it does the rest for you. I've updated twice with no problems.

should i do the beta (07) or the stable? 06?

on top of that im not seeing a bios update tool for vista... http://support.asus.com/download/dow...2-SLI%20Deluxe

From that link in the bios utility dl the first option V7.06.02. DL from the bios page v1405 for all OS. The bios utility is the SW that installs the bios 1405.
