Vista Premium Capable means you can get the maximum experience.

Vista Compatible just means you can run some form of Vista.


Just remember, the sticker is NOT the ultimate answer. For example I have a laptop with the capable sticker but it has a core duo, 2 gigs of ram and a 7900gtx and that would have no problem running vista to the fullest.

Explain those numbers because 1. they are wrong. 2. they make no sense.

Home premium isnt any more demanding that business because there are only minor differences for what come with each OS (Media center focus for home and remote desktop and backup features for business). Home basic would be less demanding by default because it does not come with aero, but you can disable that in all versions.
i was going by microsoft's recomended specs

id recomend a 2.0 ghz CPU and 2 gigs of ram

It's nice, but if you're a newbie, or you're not getting it for free, i'd recommend staying away from it until at least SP1 when they streamline the security stuff, its very cumbersome right now, and can be a pain as it bombards you with message after message asking you to confirm what you're doing. Its nice once you get rid of all that crpa, though.

Oh, and to clear up the arguments: All the versions of Vista use the same amount of resources, because as with XP, they're all exactly the same, just some features are locked/unlocked depending on which license code you're issued with.
you raisin, get off my thread! go back to the IRC!!!

Wait for a year...by that time, not only will all the bugs and kinks have been ironed out, but the OS will probably drop in cost.[/quote] yeah, I can get it for free if i wait a year, also, I won't even really need to get it until H2V, Bio Shock, and Live AnyWhere comes out. =P


Don't forget about Crysis...... the game with more pixels than real life.

I have Vista Ultimate 64-bit and it will only let me run Halo PC in 640X480 : (

When I try to switch to a higher resolution it goes psycho on me.

Do you even have (the money for) a decent PC to run Vista and Halo 2 in the first place?

Wait, Vista erases all your files when you install it?!?! Oh geez...

The other day I spent atleast an hour trying to explain to someone it won't delete your files. I told him to make a backup, you know just incase.

ok, i guess i over reacted a bit

It is people like you that make people like me need medication.

I installed it yesterday. I went with home premium. The difference from the betas and RC candidates to the retail is amazing. I am glad I upgraded.

  • 02.02.2007 5:45 PM PDT

Well, RC1 didn't quite work correctly with my wireless card (it would randomly drop out while claiming it was connected), and Microsoft neglected to tell me that RC2 was avaliable for download, so I think I'm going to hold off for a while (or buy a new PC) until they get their act together.

EDIT: I just checked HP's website, and HP isn't going to release drivers for Vista for my PC since "it wasn't designed for Vista." That's a load of -blam!-.

This is irrelevant to the subject and you already posted it in another thread? :)
