grafx1 Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 Thanks jpattofrom what i'd read, i think that i won't consider running Vista on my powerful machine 1.5GHz 256 K / Ram 256 MB / VGA NV TNT2 32 MB / HDD 40G
Ivanov Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 I cant found information about HDD usage. How many space is needed for full installation of Vista? At http://www.microsoft.com/technet/windowsvi...t/hardware.mspx just write "large disk".
prathapml Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 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.)
narrative Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 wonder how far we'll be able to slim it down to...
harunaksoy Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Is it possible to enable the Aero effect with a Geforce 4 TI 4200 64MB AGP 4x, P4 3 GHZ and 768MB Ram ?
Jeremy Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 The size of the DVD is 2.46 GB<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Oh FFS...XP Home + SP2 = 518 MBs and Nuhi and the rest of us have enough trouble with that. 5 times that with Vista... great.
Martin Zugec Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Its not the same, because on Vista DVD are build for different HW... So 32/64 versions x x86/ia64 architecture
SiMoNsAyS Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 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.
Martin Zugec Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 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
ripken204 Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 i remember reading what SiMoNsAyS posted thereits 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 time2 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
SomeoneElse Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Here's the beta dvd sizes:Windows Vista Beta 1 x32 DVD 2.46 GBWindows Vista Beta 1 x64 DVD 1.73 GBLooks like the x32 build will probably need more hdd space than x64 build.
Blam-O! Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 The size of the DVD is 2.46 GB<{POST_SNAPBACK}>but after install it gorws to 4GB+, running with 1GB of ram that is.
