I am running it on an Emachines 6811 with a AMD 3400+ x64 and ATI 9600 with
256 and 512 ram
Works great.
No problems here.

Vista is too unstable right now to be working with it on a laptop.. You
would be getting sluggish performance with an unstable environment if you
tried doing so.. I'd wait untill the final release

I have installed Beta 2 on an extra partition of my laptops harddrive (dual
boot with XP) and it runs fine (2 gigs RAM, MR 9600, Pentium M 1700).
I'd suggest you put in some RAM so you have 1 gig. Only problem so
far are is my TV-tuner (connects to the USB-port). No Vista-driver for it,
but the laptops hardware itself (modem, NIC, WiFi) is either recognozed
out of the box or via Windows Update (YMMV).

Tony,
I just installed the 32bit version on a D810 and will install the 64 on
either a m6811 or 7422GX. I have to say that the desktop is beautiful but
the installation was painfully slow.

Did your install take a long time also?

Acer Travelmate 8101:

- centrino 1,5 ghz
- ram: 512 ddr
- gfx: ati x700, 128 mb

-> installation time: about 1 hour

-> vista worked, but sometimes it is very slow :-(

To All.

Running x68 Beta 2 on Maxdata 8100is , 1gig ram, 2gig Mobile Intel. Running
it at 1400x1200. Works better than my Desktop pc which belive it or not is a
lot better spec. Install not too bad. 1gig of ram makes the diff.

No crashes at all on laptop. 100s on pc.

Seems to be Via chipset drivers and lack of decent ac97 audio drivers for
MSI mainboards.

Anyway.. Laptop... GO FOR IT.. well worth it.
