I have eternity edition installed but I'm wondering if there's a better alternative(not going back to XP, file transfers between drives are just too slow)

Eh? Why not just use a regular version like Premium or Basic or Business etc...
It depends on what your needs are man. I don't use Vista cause it was garbage when I tried it but Premium seemed to have everything you would need. Business is more for domains and for business use really.
Its funny as I just saw a Windows Vista Nvidia Evolution edition today . I had to smile as someone took the time to upload and seed for some ungrateful fucks .
Made me smile as I love the effort that some uploaders go to . Least I could do is share 6/1 and let people decide for them selves .
I don't like Vista but have tried Vista Black 64 bit and would use that if XP Pro becomes unsupported .

so wat would u recommend for ppl?
Gee I don't know , it would depend on your hardware .
64bit or 32 ? I can't in all honesty tell you what you need to do to speed up your system .
It would help if you told us what your hardware specs were and what you what to do with it .
Gamer or just for browsing the net ?
I have a Toshiba XLi -SLi1 laptop .. It comes with 32 bit vista ..
2GB Ram
320gb HDD
Pentium core 2 duo
two 8600GT in SLi
The vista runs really slowly if i keep my lappy continously on like for days altoghter .. I do hibernate it in between but that dsnt help much .. So i am looking for some better mod OS on vista lines so that i still have my driver support
vista is tooo slowly on my pc i tied windows 7 its really good
Oh ok that's better , can you not just upgrade the ram ? Say another 1 gb . I don't have a laptop so not sure about the battery issue . If interested there may be a better O/S like Black or Extreme to try .
Most of the tweaks you could do yourself so not sure what a performance gain you would see .
Just use a straight up copy of vista, and if your computer can't handle it, use XP or get a new computer.
I'm D/L a version called Windows Vista Extreme Edition R2 . Sounds interesting ,its 32 bit but still going to try .

Warning: This is an 32 bit Windows Vista SP1!
Notes:
- Installation will take some more time because of extraction on 20000 small gadget files and thousands of drivers file and its installation. but its worth to wait. ( and its 4 GB of data in wim file ).
- Do NOT INSTALL KB940510 HOTFIX. It will deactivate your windows. This hotfix is not integrated and will show up in your update list.
- It is safe to update your windows. but read above note.
- Use any genuine Activator placed inside "Activators" Directory of your desktop to activate vista.Although none of these activators will work on Dell PC.So If you use a crap Dell PC , then you have to find an activator yourself. Dont ask me about it.
- Use dreamscenes only if you have capable graphics card. also AERO needs dx9.0c capable card to enable glass effects.
- softwares included are uninstallable.
- Go to http://www.project-os.org if you have any questions.
