Re: [Xbox] 360 & Vist

Well your first problem will be Vista.. and the 2nd.. 3rd.. 4th.. 5th.. and so one. =)

 

Vista can interact with the 360 because of the built end media edition extensions, which you get with Windows Media player 11.

or with other free 3rd party tools.

 

as for the machine.. all depends on what you plan to use it for, but since are runing vista the FIRST thing I would do is scrape the 2 gig

and max it out with 4 GIG of Ram.   Vista really REALLY wants 2 gig just to operate 'normally'  let alone running anything. 

 

Since there's no 'good' video I assume the laptop won't be used for gameing, but it looks like it would handle everything else.

so the only thing I can really recommund, is uping the RAM from 2 gig to 4.

How well does the XBOX interact with a Vista system?

 

I just placed an order for a loaded Lenovo T61p and as I was choosing the OS I saw that Vista can readily interact with a 360.

 

I hope I purchased a good system too…

 

I know this isn't a PC group but I'm sure we have some knowledgeable people here…

 

This is the spec of what I just ordered… anyone care to comment or flame…

 

P.S.  The pictured price is NOT the price I paid for it… My wife has some corporate perks and there's a sale and coupon code that dramatically brought the price down…

I wonder why Vista Ultimate doesn't come or isn't offered through Lenovo in 64 bit…
