    Good morning,
    yesterday i tried to install windows vista home premium on my aao a150x. i have upgraded the ram so i have 1,5gig. now i've got the problem that if i have opened firefox icq and media player, the sound lags. it's really often but i don't think it's because of the ram because i am using my 2gig sd card as a further cache.
    is this a known problem? can anybody help me

    the only thing i can think of is, go to control panel -> system -> device manager

    then expand the section 'disk drives' and right click on your hard drive and check what mode is using, pio or dma or something like that

    i think PIO is slow and the other one (DMA i think, i cant remember, lets leave it as the one that is NOT PIO mode) is fast

    if that doenst work, do you have gadgets enabled? anything that is stealing clockcycles,
