Chris Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 After months of providing only basic guidance about the kind of PC hardware needed to run Windows Vista, Microsoft is ready to get a bit more specific. On Thursday, the company is expected to give details of two marketing programs that computer makers and retailers can use to indicate whether, and how well, their computers will run the upcoming Windows operating system. The "Vista-capable" program lists the features needed to minimally run the new operating system. The "Premium Ready" program will identify PCs that can take advantage of Vista's high-end features, including its new Aero graphics, according to a source familiar with the company's plans. To be Vista-capable, a machine needs at least an 800MHz processor, 512MB of memory and a graphics card that can run DirectX 9 graphics. Those requirements are similar to the minimum guidelines the company has been recommending for Vista for some time.More | Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Won't affect me. I'm happy with XP until and IF I buy a replacement. There is NO way that I would consider an upgrade. I have seen too many people get problems upgrading from 98 to XP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
