Its a Compaq Presario v6000, got it last night as an insurance replacement for my Asus that got nicked a few weeks ago.

The below is from their website...
"If you have an HP Pavilion or Compaq Presario consumer notebook PC that shipped with Windows Vista, you should not attempt to downgrade to Windows XP. Changing the operating system (OS) will cause severe operational problems. Many of the components, such as sound, video, graphics, network connectivity, drives, or other devices and peripherals, may have limited functionality, or may not work at all. You should do some research on the support policies of hardware and software manufacturers, and review the problems experienced by other users, before you consider changing the operating system.

Unfortunatley that aint gonna work for me, I have to get this one working as best as I can.
Ive just moved the studio to a purpose built unit so this laptops not my main production PC, but as I now have to travel further than my spare room to work on stuff I was hoping to have my laptop as a mirror of the studio PC as my old one was...
Has anyone tried building a music PC on Vista?Pie Face (www.myspace.com/saaruk)

Unfortunately there is not much info for specific tweaks for vista regarding music production as most people stay well clear. The best advice i can give is to stick as much ram in the laptop as it will take. I have a vista machine here running 3gig of ram, and it seams to run fine. However, Vista takes up 800Mb of this doing nothing, so if you only have a gig, i'd think about upgrading.
