Thanks jpatto

from what i'd read, i think that i won't consider running Vista on my powerful machine :D

1.5GHz 256 K / Ram 256 MB / VGA NV TNT2 32 MB / HDD 40G :whistle:

Vista will ship on dvd ONLY.

So while definite numbers is not available at this stage, a logical conclusion is The OS alone will need 5 GB of hdd space. Plus allow for more space for apps and swapfile and hibernation, etc.

(just for comparison, Windows XP occupies 1.2 GB approx.)

i was wondering the same from a time ago ... do u remember ...

"Microsoft is expected to recommend that the "average" Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.

2SimonSays: This is requirement for "Full Aero" Vista... For normal OS it is much less... So I think that Vista wont need futuristic HW. But I will be sure when I will get hand on my copy of Vista Beta :D

i remember reading what SiMoNsAyS posted there

its going to be a while till we get that stuff, the amd X2 4800 only runs at 2.4 ghz unless that is refering to intel which will still take some time

2 gigs of ram we all know is a must but i just hope that good 1gig sticks of ram will come out b/c the overclockers will be p***ed off

Here's the beta dvd sizes:

Windows Vista Beta 1 x32 DVD 2.46 GB

Windows Vista Beta 1 x64 DVD 1.73 GB

Looks like the x32 build will probably need more hdd space than x64 build.
