u need to have sp1 installed before you can install sp2

never used vista (not really anyway) never want to (any time someone asks me to help fix a problem my
statement is the same - i HATE vista) just 'cos hardware is improving doesn't mean you must use it all up
i like to have 10, 15 applications running including an oracle database and a programming ide and still have
up to 500mb free ram instead of having 500mb free ram after just starting the os
(ok am exaggerating but vista is still a memory hog)
pity MS is bent on killing xp thank God for win 7 (i hear it will be released officially this year) at least is not
as much a memory hog as vista though recommended disk space for installation is 16gb

i cant go near sp1 talk less of sp2!i installed sp1 and my laptop failed to recognise my sierra 580 mdc.i had to restore my system with alacrity.i will only upgrade when i use up the money i spent obtaining my archaic data card

@flyuche
Thanks.will check it out

Imagine, like 99% of pple using that Aircard On Vista SP1 knws that there's a fix, I wonder y u bringing this at an Odd hour! 

^^^^^

practically all laptops are made in china

so in plain English is d Sp1 not a good buy? cos i jst installed 1 in my vista ultimate, got it from d regular updates on my computer. is it safe? can i go ahead n install d sp2. all i want na make my computer dey work well.

but not all of them are made according to chinese standards

''practically all laptops are made in china ''

true
but the quality depends on the market it was made for, one can't compare the ones made for the Asian/African market to the ones made for the European market,

It's harder to give a decent opinion of the product since you haven't tested both builds, however, I believe both have decent build quality and use quality parts.

what he was trying to say is that laptops that are made in china but are going to be sold in the U.S. or in the E.U. have to conform to the standards of said countries (which are prolly higher than chinas)

for instance there's this thing that HP does whereby they allow you to choose the components of your computer online(u assemble it. . .so u can say its customised in a sense lol) the computer is assembled at the HP factory somewhere in china cant rem now and them shipped to the US(free shipping of course) since u ordered it thru HP in the US it will be built to american standards(thats what all those fcc etc stickers specify).

The quality of a PC is dependent on the semiconductor devices in it, and that is more or less same for a particular series, and independent of region e.g. Intel or AMD or Nvidia does not make chips with a region in mind,  As the fabrication process matures, yield quality and QA improves.

Most PC manufactures maintain two lines:a early adoption series and a more tested series. A typical example for dell is the inspiron vs latitude where the inspiron usually has more recent technologies, while the latitude goes for reliability. This distinction is often separated as home and business product.

The regional differences in most laptops stems from standards and technologies, and not QA. For example the power supply rating in the US is different from europe, emission level masks are often different etc.

To say that one would get a better quality PC by buying from a particular region is misinforming others. If such were true, it is illegal and said company can be prosecuted for it.

I quite agree. You get what you pay for. The Chinese are not fools. They make different quality
of same products for different markets. And this is not just limited to computers. Ask any business
man who imports from China and he will tell you.

can we get back to the topic pls? vista sp2?

lol

@Geogre D. and they are not doing badly. lenovo is a proud chinese brand.
