Personally, the bloat doesn't bother bother me, but I know it does others, I just disable some of the process reliant services like readyboost, firewall, windows defender, defrag, bitlocker, and a few others, the backup file I just set to OS files only so keeps it to a minimum.

    If Vista will operate effectively with 2 gig and not suck all the resources I will try it..When I first read that you needed 2 gig to run it that turned me off.
    I have 2 gig in that system BUT 500MB is needed constantly for the WU's.

    Vista uses all ram available in a caching system, often my 4GB is 90% used, but it is all cached, the minute something requests ram, the cache is dumped allowing the ram to be available to whatever task is asking for it

    Those look to be communication errors, not computational... but he did say it rebooted so not stable, yet, but looks like theres room for more volts.

    Notice what those errors were, on an upload..It was fine at 3870..
    I think that is when I shut off the network or the WCG server was down a minute...
