Windows Vista Requirement Specs

sil3ntdarkn355 · Post by **sil3ntdarkn355** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 1:44 pm

You're wondering why I posted this here and not in the Off topic section...well it's because if the specs for Windows Vista are pretty demanding, so is Halo 2 if it's gonna run on Vista....*sigh* get your tissues
***WINDOWS VISTA IS NOT a PROGRAM it is an OS-->Operating System...the BETAS are available AS a PROGRAM but when the REAL DEAL comes out, you HAVE to UNINSTALL WINDOWS XP or whatever OS you have and Install VISTA...

Hardware requirements

System hardware requirements

Microsoft has not released final details of Windows Vista's hardware requirements; however, Microsoft has released some preliminary Windows Vista Ready PC Hardware requirements for those wishing to upgrade to Windows Vista and have the full Aero Glass experience. These requirements apply to Beta 1, and are subject to change.

* CPU: Intel x86-compatible 32-bit or x64-compatible 64-bit microprocessor(s) (Dual Core systems will be supported)

* Motherboard: ACPI-compatible firmware is required.

* Memory: At least 512 megabytes (Encouraged to use ECC memory)

* Graphics Card: A DirectX 9

I have a Nividia 6800; do you think this will be good enough to play Halo 2 pc and run Vistia?

I think the processor and the gfx card are going to need upgrading then itll be fine.

no they wont i have a really good processor we are talking about laptop parts here not pc

It's recommended for 512 mb of RAM if you want the Aero features, but if you don't want to have those nice graphics on Vista, you can tune it down.

hm, another program that would push the limits of my computer:

Windows Vista
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0

Any who, it will be at least a year for H2 PC. or it could be a "launch title" for the os...

why do people keep calling windows vista a program? it would be a program but it's not what we would call it, it is an OS-->Operating System, MALF where are you?!

WIndows Vista is used to REPLACE your WINDOWS XP, so basically you would have to UNINSTALL XP and install VISTA, just like any other OS

windows use to be a program that use to run on msdos

phoie, i did call windows a program...

true, windows used to run from dos. *you still could, i think...*

I wonder if promethius will be able to work with h2 pc?

sil3ntdarkn355 · Post by **sil3ntdarkn355** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 8:03 pm

well the memory cache of h2pc would prolly be diferent from halo pc halo 1xbox halo ce so...no because prom doesnt have the features, unless gren and nick and those guys start to support it. Unfortunately, they won't get it to support h2pc until it actually comes out.

Remember: Ram for vista, AND Halo 2 at same time, and whatever you happen to have running at the time, [AIM,MSN,another game(wtf...)]. Good thing my machine easily clears these specs
