So, this is my easter break. Finally some time free do things i've should have done before, but didn't have time to do yet. Back in november 2007 i ordered a Dell Vostro 1500 notebook with 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor and 4 Gbs of RAM. It's a pretty fast notebook, but my experiences were that is was slower then expected. So how could this be?

First of all, the Dell Vostro 1500 comes pre-installed with Vista Business Edition 32-bit with lot's of Dell software. After searching the internet, everybody kept screaming you should re-install the Vostro with a clean Vista.

Yesterday, i finally had time to do this. I have formatted my Vostro and installed Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 on it. And also choose to use the 64-bit version. Now the Vostro is damn fast!

The second thing i'm doing now is switching from Microsoft Virtual PC to VMware Workstation. And creating some new 64-bit images. Yes, also this is damn fast.

So, this year a good easter for me! :)
