Minimum Vista requirements exposed

THE SOFTWARE giant Microsoft has announced what it says will be the minimum software requirements to run its super soaraway Vista.

The outfit has launched a 'Get Ready' Website 'ere which outlines the requirements for running low-end versions of Vista or higher-end versions that take advantage of the OS’s new Aero graphical user interface capabilities.

To make matters more confusing, Vole calls the low end one a "Windows Vista Capable PC" and Aero ready one a "Windows Vista Premium Ready PC."

The low end one will need a speed of at least 800MHz, 512MB of system memory and a graphics processor that is DirectX 9 capable. The Aero ready one will need a 1GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor, 1GB of system memory, 128MB of graphics memory, 40GB of hard drive capacity with 15GB free space, a DVD-ROM drive, audio output capabilities and Internet access.

It will also need a DirectX 9 class graphics processor that supports a Windows Display Driver Model Driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware and 32 bits per pixel. Windows Vista Premium Ready needs to have 64MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor less than 1,310,720 pixels; 128MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor at resolutions from 1,310,720 to 2,304,000 pixels; or 256MB of graphics memory to support a single monitor at resolutions higher than 2,304,000 pixels.

Vole has a handy lump of software to help you through the process, but you have to download .NET to run it. After telling me I needed the most expensive Vista available for a PC it told me that my computer didn’t have enough hard-drive. I have only 13GB to play with. I will also need a new graphics card which can handle 124MB of memory and I only have 64MB.

It also suggested that Windows did not have drivers for things like my BlueTooth connector, or my soundcard. To make matters worse, these are the minimum requirements to run Vista. If I try and run my Adobe Creative Suite on it, chances are I will find myself short of memory. It looks like this will be a costly upgrade.
