My system specs:
Asus K8N motherboard
AMD Sempron 64 2800+ @ 1.8GHz (overclocked)
1.5GB of RAM
Ati Radeon X1600 PRO AGP 8x 256MB GDDR2 video card
Creative Audigy sound card
WD 120GB 7200RPM IDE 8MB cache HD
WD 80GB 7200RPM IDE 2MB cache HD
With the exception of the sound card, there appears to be nothing that's
inferior here.
Issues with RC2:
1. mfpmp.exe using 10% of CPU and 20MB of RAM when WMP11 is running -
causing the visualizations to be very slow.
2. Explorer crashes and 'calculating time remaining' stalls out when trying
to transfer a file onto another computer's network folder.
3. When I try to access a file from my network folder from another
computer, the other computer's explorer freezes for a minute or two, then it
reports that it lost the connection to my computer. When I go down to my
computer, Vista lost my entire Internet connection. It does this almost
every time.
4. When I save something to my desktop in this build, the item will not
appear on the desktop until I refresh the desktop.
5. The sidebar has forgotten my placement of my gadgets several times when
I start the computer.
6. WMP 11 shows a weird equalizer bug as a visualization when I go to the
equalizer settings, then go to full screen in WMP11. It also does this on
XP and it's done it to me on another computer as well with a completely
different video card.
7. Vista continually stalls when I go to shut-down. It does this at random
times, but the sidebar will disappear, then the computer will just sit
there.
8. Several times when I resume my computer from sleep, the power LED quits
blinking, but the screen stays blank and the HDs never kick on until I reset
my computer.
