Hmmm well, not that I beta tested Vista Ultimate when it was released to testers, well ok maybe I did. The requirements that I found best was at least 1 gig of ram, preferably, 2 gig. Hard disk space is up to you as you know how much space you need depending on what you want to put on it. MS recommends 15 gig I believe, so 20+ is sufficient. 128 meg, prefer 256 meg graphics card, D-X 9+ I think 10 is out now, so that would provide the best graphics. DVD burner/ reader/ cd burner/ reader. For cpu, at minimum 2ghz preferably 2.33+ P4 or better, but best performance would be from a 64 bit cpu's and Core 2 duo 2ghz +. You could always get two 3.2ghz xeon cpus which would give plenty of power.
If I left anything out, just let me know. I didn't think monitors or lan cards or sound or keyboard mouse was worth mentioning. Of course though LCD monitor of 17" prefer 19"+ is better.

Hi Everybody! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/systemrequiremen ts.mspx or http://tinyurl.com/2vmmcn Reading the system requirements, it looks like Vista will run on current equipment, however, from the gossip here and elsewhere, it sounds like the new pig is, well, a hog. Any opinions on what you really need to run Vista at a reasonable speed? Not that I will actually do this until I get Vista on a second hand or close-out machine, but as an academic discussion . . . -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/!&[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
