    This is no shit - to format a 2G SD card in XP takes about 15 seconds (Intel 1.86G, 4G RAM), and in Win 7 64-bit (AMD 2.3G, 2G RAM), the "format complete" message appears immediately after clicking "start" format.

    The healthiest machine I have (Intel E8400@4G, 8G RAM) runs Vista Ultimate 64-bit and takes about 20 MINUTES to format the same card.

    Disgusting.
    That's odd. I was able to format my flash card from vista instantly.
    Are you sure that you have "Quick Format" selected in Vista?

    Kev is running the special "Conservative Edition" of Vista.
    Before it will do anything, it has to check for socialist tendencies and see a valid birth certificate.

    Al of my OS's are the "conservative" version, so there.

    Yay for triple posts! A new record o.0

    I'm still on Windows 7 RC1 but I'm loving it so far. Works fast, well, and the compatability is surprisingly extensive. I haven't found a single program yet that didn't work on the OS when it was still in beta.

    Nope. Hehe. Hate antivirues. Leech system resources, and I don't really need them. I guess I can't really comment on compatability for any of that.

    There are some issues with some ASUS MB. (May be more)
    can't turn off or reboot.. and the occasional BSOD
    Other than that it's great
