Has Vista dropped yet?

[Ryno]

and would a 1.6 turion with 1.25Ram and 128 shared video handle it aight?

 

[BurgRider]

the 1.6 gig will be a little slow. vista is designed to run with a dual core. you have plenty of ram. Basically 1 gig to vista is what 512 is to xp

 

[Ryno]

ah fuck it then.

 

[BurgRider]

its kind of a hardware intense os

 

[Myke]

No It will run like shit, and no it's not out.

I'm running the beta and on a AMD Athlon 3400+ 2.2ghz w/ 1gig ram and 128mb car it's laggy deff need dual core and 256+ pci-ev video cards and atleast 1gig of ram.

I have vista

It depends on the turion proccessor. If it's an x2 then it's a dual core and will run just fine. The comparison of 512 to xp is probably pretty accurate. but none of us really know though.

[Detective]

new sig indeed...that was very special. haha

 

[BurgRider]

thats if you want your computer to run like absolute shit

 

[toominator]

just quoting microsoft there. laptops aren't really known for shit hot performance anyway

 

[Myke]

Don't expect to get all of its features with out a really good video card.

 

[RustyPlanks]

Yeah it dropped... THE FIRST TIME IT WAS LOADED ON TO A COMPUTER!!!

 

[4frntSkier]

its out?

 

[jibsworth]

its out as a beta.. you cant buy it.

 

[acoustikrage]

it's not beta anymore. vista was just rtm'ed (released to manufacturer) so developers can prepare for it before it's officially launched late january.

 

[jimmychung]

january 30th is the day

 

[Badfish2]

turion is 64 bit.. that should be fine, but graphics card is going to be the big question mark.. besides the desire to jerk off on an big cat

 

[4frntSkier]

i wonder if itll be good

 

[*Fujative*]

2.6 AMD duel core, 2 GB DDR ram, 515 MB video card... BRING IT ON!

 

[Axiom]

Business customers can get it in late November, stores in late January.

There is a lot more new than just a paint job. Check it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vista.

who cares? y if you own a mac would you ever want to run windows? "its got software that i cant get... blah blah blah." theres no need.

 

[acoustikrage]

it's definitely not just a prettier version of xp. i don't really know the details, but there are significant changes under the hood. for one, it's not even based on xp. the source code is based off windows server 2003.
