Solved FX8120 Build OS Vista thoughts ?

[Solarstarshines]

I am preparing a Build to operate vista and maybe VM of Linux Mint

I am not sure of how I should go about this but thus far this is the build
Mother Board MSI 990fx -GD80
CPU FX8120
HD Seagate Barracuda 750GB 7200rpm
GPU HD6870
Cooling Antec 620 Khuler
Psu Cooler master extreme 700w
RAM still up in the air will go purchase in a hour or so
DVD re write drive LG DVD burner
OS Vista Home Basic 32Bit

I do plan to migrate to a Win8 OS just because but what are your thoughts on running Vista with this hardware will there be any issues this is just a pet project I always have room to upgrade also wondering should I go with corsair ram again for the Slight overclock or should I get something else I can only use 4 GB so opinions on deck :shock:

 

[Dude]

I see no problems for Vista with that build.

It should work well with Vista, but why?

Corsair RAM is a quality brand, I have been using only GSkill for my last 4 builds with very good luck and it seems to over clock well.

I have to ask.........why? lol Why Vista and why the FX8120?

My guess is he is using his spare parts.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

Yes I am using spare part plus I might migrate to 8 just for this machine
I am just getting it together I already eyed a SSD and I picked up 2x2 4Gb corsair vengeance just to see how it runs after that im going to beef it up for win 8 that is why lol

1. I would highly recommend a SSD for the OS. If you want top shelf, a 120GB Vector would be my choice.

2. Should you have problems with Vista (e.g. because there is a driver missing), you can always run it under VMware Player in Mint. I prefer Mint Mate which I find nicer than Cinnamon. Here are some tutorials I made.

I'm about to kick Antec's A** they sent me a bum cooler damn cpu temp was 80 c

 

[Solarstarshines]

Went ahead and set the Stock cooler that came with it

Vista is a good system, I still run it on a laptop. Well my daughter does, it seems to be her's now

Since SP1, we never had problems with Vista. The wife still uses 2 Vista laptops without any problems or complaints - and it is not easy to find something that a wife could not complain about, LOL.

The only reason my wife uses 7 now is because I gave her my old system when I built this one. She loves vista...but now she has come to appreciate 7!!

Well I have to inform you Gentlemen I found a loophole on Fry's website bought 2 count them 2 OEM service pack 1 64bit 7disc for $30.00 a piece I saved 76.00 per Disc Thank you Fry's for that wonderful Blunder

Also have to mention I was installing one on my Dad's Machine and his Core Duo Heatsink came off during the finishing installed and damn that chip was hot and shut down couldn't get the heatsink back on so I just gave him my 8120 Oc'ed to 4.2 Ghz with a HD6870 I told my dad just use it for parts now and he is satisfied with 8 cores of Bulldozer

As now he has a new age rig atleast
