OK im chatting to someone from the US who claims to have a pc that is now running vista, tho he only has a 60 gig hd and a 1 gig processor and only 256 ram this surely is a wind up right ???

Not really, even though XP says minimum spec etc i've got a m8 that has it ran on a P133MHz and its slow as ****.

The specs are guidelines, but you'll always find some idiots running it on slower spec machines and think it runs fine...

 

tell me about it...why not just get a souped up machine instead? whats the idea of running an OS that requires more kick? its like putting a Ferrari engine in a Mini (the classic ones that is!) how many times has this been said by the way?

 

Well I'm running it in a vm at the moment on the recommended minimum specs. It runs okay but to get the most you really need a fast cpu and lots of ram.

 

Well if you put a Ferarri engine in a mini it would be fast as *!*!. Ok you may burn out the transmission in short order, but it would still be damn fast.

I'd liken putting Vista on a low spec PC as to putting a moped engine in a mini.

 

well put it this way...Vista needs a minimum of 15GB HDD space...but 20GB is more sufficient...so someone running Vista on a machine thats got 40GB of space is asking for it...

 

to be fair, the chassis would propably be ripped apart before that!

if we're doing car analogies how about, it's like putting a speed governor on a diablo.....?

 

Hmmm, quick question.... Whats Vista??

Dont mean to sound stupid

 

next version of windows: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/

 

Vista

EDIT: Damn it d, you're just too fast!
