jadkins555 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I am also wanting to know how it is performing for you guys. When it comes out I will be running it for casual (non-gaming) purposes. My machine is: 1.32 GHZ AMD Thunderbird 768 MB DDR RAM GeForce 4 Ti 4200 I've read that the special interface in Vista will not be supported by my graphics card. Besides that, will Vista be usable?

Thunderbird01 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I think there is a readme file for every OS which has the minimum & recomended requirements, isn't it? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seta-san Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 i know microsoft recommends against chipset graphics.. I believe a GeforceFX or higher GPU should be suffient 2GHZ Athlon (possibly 64-bit required) or 2.6Ghz Intel as of now i recommend 512MB or memory for WinXP so i suggest 1Gig on Vista 10/100/1000 eithernet and obviously the larger the hdd the better :p obviously the OS will be somewhat graphics intensive but it still won't compare to what modern games require. By the time Vista comes out Intel will have 64-bit computers and Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hollatyou Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 System Requirements Minimum system requirements will not be known until summer 2006 at the earliest. However, these guidelines provide useful estimates: ? 512 megabytes (MB) or more of RAM ? A dedicated graphics card with DirectX? 9.0 support ? A modern, Intel Pentium- or AMD Athlon-based PC. http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/newsroo...staBeta1FS.mspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcos2006 Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 personaly i dont thinks Microsoft Windows Vista will be a 64bit system reason not many people are going to buy a new pc just because a new os came out and microsoft knows this so they are probily going to make it work on all pc platforms so that people with there 32bit pc can also BUY and use the OS it wouldnt be smart of them yo make it just for the 64 bit computers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runiteshark Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 This POS OS better play well with dual and multi cores. I get kinda tired of having all kinds of fancy useless crap cluttering my desktop, or stuff like that. It runs a bit sluggish on a Jaton Geforce 5200... The lowest DX9 card you can get: 5200 Volari (the V3 stuff) Radeon 9550+... Sigh... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Vista run on your system? Does hard drive RPM matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
