Window vista?

Question

how many you already upgrade it to vista or buy new pc with vista, what are spec you have.

what do you think a new future , what will be the minimum memory ram you will need.

I think mininum 3 or greater, for now.

Answer 1

I custom built my pc and went with vista.

My specs;
2 gigs DDR2 ram
Amd Dual core 3800
250 gig sata hard drive
tv tuner card
Nvidia 7300 gt 256 mg vdram dvi and vga output

Minimum specs are different depending on which version you chose, for vista home basic, dual core or core 2 duo and 512 mgs is enough because there is no Aero interface.

Any version and up like premium and ultimate minimum 1 gig. Remember if you don't get a video card seperate from your mother board that the video card will share your ram.
To increase speed you can disable the gadgets and Aero but I like the gadgets, Aero you really don't need or notice much.

Answer 2

Vista 32bit can only address around 3GB of memory anyway, the future for Vista is good, as Microsoft, after Jan 2008 will stop all OEM selling XP, so it doesnt really have much competition after that.
Personally, I think Vista is a piece of bloated rubbish. Overloaded with graphics and features that the average user doesnt really need, the key to an operating system is simple in my view, clever programming, easy to use, and ...fast.

Answer 3

I use Vista on a couple of machines and have found that 1GB is totally insufficient. I would recommend 2GB minimum and if you can afford it, 4GB.

It helps to have a 'beefy' video card as well.

Answer 4

I think you shoud have 1gb for home and 2 gb for anything else. Vista is a system hog, and I commonly use 1.5gb of my 2gb of ram

Answer 5

512 mb for basic vista
1 GB mb for ultimate vista

my spec.
athlon 3000
1 gig memory
6600 GT in SLI mode
vista ultimate
500 watt psu

its not a buttkicker but it works beautifully.

Answer 6

1 GB is plenty. 2GB is overkill. 3+GB totally unnecessary unless you're runing a webserver like Google's!
