Ivanov Posted July 28, 2005 Share 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". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted July 28, 2005 Share 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted July 28, 2005 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted July 28, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted July 28, 2005 Share 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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted July 29, 2005 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
