Then, click auto update and that should be it.

One more question for the crowd, do Vista 64-bit drivers work on a XP-64 system? It's just that my memory usage on vista has constantly been 1.01 GB while I remember on XP it was like 232 MB.]]>May 7th 2008 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/windows-xp-sp3-hits-windows-update-vista-sp1-makes-a-comeback/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/windows-xp-sp3-hits-windows-update-vista-sp1-makes-a-comeback/May 6th 2008 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/windows-xp-sp3-hits-windows-update-vista-sp1-makes-a-comeback/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/06/windows-xp-sp3-hits-windows-update-vista-sp1-makes-a-comeback/

I did have vista prior to that but it felt sluggish, and it's not like I have a low spec machine: 4GB Ram, Quad 3Ghz Xeons and Raid-0

OS X also screams on this machine, so it's obvious what was at fault :)
