Ok, so my hard drive went tits up last week, and I had heard some good things about windows 2008 server performing better than vista in many ways. So, I decided to give it a crack.

I've been having problems with the 64-bit vista drivers for my nvidia 8800GT though. 2d Desktop graphics are slow, and sometimes leave "trails" when you move windows around. I've even gone so far as completely turn off any and every possible eye-candy setting. (It looks a lot like win2k right now!)

I dropped another 4GB RAM in this box as well, and I still can't run more than one instance of Eve Online without the machine chugging, and I'm pretty sure it's due to graphics issues. I had no problem running two instances of Eve in vista 32 on 2GB RAM, and I could even run three pretty stable.



Just thought I'd pick your collective brains.
