LOL.

Whatever be the fact. I can't use vista untill I get 1 GB of RAM

^^me too

 

[Chrono Cr@cker]

Agreed, Microsoft claims it doesn't slow PC's but the very requirement of 512 MB/1GB Ram shows how much resources it takes. 90% of our computers won't still be able to run Vista!

 

[techtronic]

I completely disagree

The moment I switch off Aero in Windows Vista Ultimate,
the RAM Utilisation gets reduced to 12 % from 27 %

Where does this lead to ?

 

[Third Eye]

The main thing which vista requires is more RAM i.e 2GB

I agree,aero effect doesn't slow pc...

 

[Ankur Gupta]

Yeah i too havnt noticed ne difference wen aero is switched on or off.

 

[casanova]

And this makes me wait more eagerly for Vista. Gosh 1 more month to go. I hope it will run like a horse on my rig.

aero sucks i was expecting a BOMB from vista.

 

[chesss]

well there are motherboards in the market which have integrated VGA (intel's gma x3000) which is fully capable of running Aero, so it could be possible that vista's hardware requirements are over-hyped...

The spped depends on your graphics card memroy and speed, and your RAM.

It's a bomb , what you want ? a lame 3d desktop with windows flying here and there ?

 

[deepak.krishnan]

Well Vista will not slow down PCs with high end config....thats wat MS means..

yeah except lame

 

[Aberforth]

Since when did non-Microsoft employees ever agree with Microsoft claims?

Well Vista will not slow down PCs with high end config....thats wat MS means..

Exactly.

At least Vista's licensing policy made sure my upgrade will be Fedora or Suse way instead of Vista. Check Vista's EULA from Microsoft.com and see how Vista makes activation, upgrades and hardware additions a pain to remember.. I didn't mind XPs WGA but Vista is overboard.

It depends, On an AGP card runnning in 4x mode, performance does suffer a lil. But altogether, its not much.
