What do I need to run windows vista?

Question

I currently have a Asus A8N32 SLI Deluxe which allows for many upgrades. This is a 939 socket so I will upgrade to a better processor, but how much memory will I need, I currently have 1 Gig but I can have up to 3 Gigs. What kinda videocards will I need. I have a Leadtek 6600gt nivida card. Do i need two cards? what should i upgrade them to? thanks

Answer 1

You may need to update some drivers, but the program requires 15 gigs of memory to start the process and 500 mb of free space to work.

Answer 2

The minimum requirements are 1GB of RAM and 64mb video ram in order to run windows vista's new AERO technology. The setup you have now sounds like it will work just fine. Remember that more RAM is always good.

Answer 3

1 GB is ok, 2 would be good, at least a 2 ghrtz processor, if your video card is 128 MB your fine, 32MB for very minimum.
and always of course the faster and more the better.

Linux operating systems are excellent. Try out one of the free distributions. My favorite is UBUNTU. You can download it, or order a CD, at

http://www.ubuntu.com .
