Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 is now available for download. If you previously registered for the Windows Vista Beta 2 Customer Preview Program 2 and received a product key (PID), that key will work for the Windows Vista RC1 release as well. You need not re-register. Update: A review of the RC1 version say that Vista is not ready.

I installed on a slower machine than yours. No name box I had built. Athlon 64 3200+, 1.25GB, Nvidia FX-5200. The video card is a bit slow for Vista. I chose Vista Basic as the color scheme and it runs just fine.
Considering the video card is over 3 years old, I'm not worried about it being a tad slow.
I upgaded from pre-RC1 to RC1. I'm using it as my default OS for a few days.

I installed it first on Athlon 64 3400+ box which uses an Nvidia 7600GT w/256 GDDR3. The box has 2 gigs of Corsair XMS PC3200. It was a dog. Ok. It was slow, it blue screened durring install, and nothing I have is not name brand, common, everyday stuff that doesn't work out of the box with SUSE, Fedora, Kubuntu, etc...
I then tried installing it on my Core Duo (1.83) w/1.5gig of Ram laptop and it was still slow and not very responsive.
I now have an Athlon 4400+ dual core to play with so we'll see, but at this point I don't think it is worth the upgrade.
