Vlite'd Vista 32 with a 4 or 8 meg PCI Video Card - possible ?

Out of curiosity, is it possible that a fully Vlite'd Vista 32 system [maximum strip back] which has fully compliant Vista 32 hardware BUT that is running either a 4 or 8 meg PCI video card like a Diamond S3 Virge or Diamond 3DFX, would run / work ?

Would such a system even install with such a small PCI Video card ?

i cant be sure 100% but i don't think you can bypass minimum system requirements checks at setup with that video card.

also, if you have vista ready hardware, why are you trying to use that card? curiosity? post if you try to see happened.

It would work absoutley peachy and fine!

After all, Aero is the only part of the vista gui that requires graphical horsepower...

and if no ones convinced, here are the min requirements straight from ms!

Windows Vista minimum supported system requirements

Note a dvd is not required, and neither is a super duper processor! although vlite seems to take that 20gig harddrive and tear it up a bit so it can fit into a nice 8gig drive (its been done, and it takes frigging ages to load!)
