Just tried Vista again. Tried to install WG311v3 Netgear

wireless card. Even went to Netgear's website and downloaded the vista compatible build. Had to open computer case take card out and install software than turn computer off, pull plug and put card in.


After three hours I gave up and am deleting and formatting the hard drive after another frustrating try at using the operating system call vista but I think a better name would be garbage.


As a test I downloaded 80 GB's using an Intel dual core E-6700 (3GB's of ram) processor using Windows XP from one hard drive to another on the same computer and it took 4 minutes.

I tried to do the very same thing with Vista on the same computer using the Intel dual core E-6700 processor with 3GB's of ram and six hours later it still was not finished.
