Chris Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Chicago (IL) - Microsoft confirmed to TG Daily that it will "encourage" system builders to use Error Checking and Correction (ECC) memory modules for Vista computers - rather than the standard DDR devices common in desktop and notebook computers today. Currently, ECC is mainly used in servers and workstations and will not be a Vista requirement, but the technology may increase the stability of the OS.Microsoft's next-generation Windows has still a few months and pre-releases to go before we will have a good idea what benefits and drawbacks the operating system will offer to users. But details trickling out of Redmond, already suggest that the transition from XP to Vista won't be as easy as from Me or 2000 to XP. Users intending to upgrade have to learn about VDDM (Vista Display Driver Model) drivers, make sure that there is enough CPU and GPU horsepower to run the software and be convinced that a wave of digital rights management (DRM) features isn't as scary in everyday use as on paper.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4may Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Sound like a recipe for more cash to be spent on upgrading the hardware as well, unless you have a fairly new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
