Vista-Capable PCs require at least an 800 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, a graphics processor with Direct X 9.0 support and at least a 20 GB hard drive.
Interesting, no? But how does this compare to previous Windows requirements?
Windows 95 asked that you have a 486, 32-bit processor at any speed, 4 MB of RAM, and 50 MB of hard drive space.
Windows 98 upped the ante just slightly, requiring a 486DX processor running at at least 66 MHz, 16 MB of RAM, a 195 MB hard drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive and a VGA monitor.
People who were suckered into buying Windows ME had to pony up a 150 MHz Pentium processor, 32 MB of RAM, 320 MB of hard drive space and a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
The current incarnation of Windows, Windows XP, requires for the Home Edition a 300 MHz processor, 128 MB of RAM, 1.5 GB of hard drive space, a Super VGA monitor and a CD-ROM or DVD drive.
hmmm.. that's not too bad i guess.. we just need more RAM for our current PC.. but RAM is expensive.. but we need more RAM right now anyways.. so, yeah..
