What model is your Radeon? 768MB should be more than enough if not running Aero...

Where can download Windows Vista... i found this forum got the link to download but cant... closed or redirect to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista

errr..it's actually considered illegal to download the OS...why don't you google around instead of asking here...it's not permitted in this forum too...

Does RTM version mean Retail version?

No. It is release to manufacturing version. One step before the retail.

Can run what type of Vista ah? It's written Vista Capable on my Notebook

i think you should be able to run vista business or premium without much prob...

Cool, a premium one will do..Hmm, Unfortunately, the most powerful Aero cannot la..hehe

Aero = 1GB of ram and a DX9 supported 3D card

maybe someone can update the first page/post-added in more info like system requirement or related info.. Maybe mod @ the TS can assist since I notice some poster asking a redundant question

I'm running this Windows Vista on

Acer Aspire 1692WLmi ( 1.73GHZ, 533FSB, 2MB L2 Cache)
15.14' WXGA Cyrstalbright TFT LCD
ATI Mobility Radeon X700 PCi Express 128MB VRAM
80GB HD,
Slot Loading DVD-+RW
2GB DDR 2 Dual Channel

I found the 2GB is just nice to run the Operating System but sometimes is still slow since the OS take lot's of RAM running it now using best performance mode and no lagging or problem, if you're on 512MB RAM don't dream to install Vista Ultimate to ur PC or Laptop,i'm sure it will be very slow.

Hi guys,

I've a problem which i hope u sifu's can help me with.

To cut the story short, I've installed Vista Business on a SATA drive. After installation, when i reboot and REMOVE the Vista DVD from the DVD-ROM, it wont boot. It says "Enter system disk". Basically it can't find the installed Vista on the SATA drive.

If i put the Vista DVD back in and reboot, i boot normally into Vista.

Anyone tell me what I'm missing here?

Motherboard : MSI K8N Neo2 ... a 939 Motherboard..Nforce3

CPU : AMD Athlon64 3000+
RAM : 1Gb

Thanks in advance!!

guys im using dell 6400 2.oghz with 1gb ram.. can i run vista? will my comp laggy?

Depends on your usage...
Im currently running Vista Ultimate on my machine.
Just XP1800+ and 512MB RAM.
I can say still okay if said used for web surfing and mp3 playback.
I noticed no lagging when playing mp3 while surfing the net even with Aero theme n side bar enabled. Probably when play games or uses more cpu or ram intensive programs, you will notice the lagging. Besides there's nothing special about Vista. Its just bloated. I hate the way they change the navigation. Its like a maze in Vista. Its really a new experience like M$ claimed but definately not a good one.

BTW, its sucks so badly that you will have to disable the user control thing. Damn thing is going to ask you everytime you wanna install/remove a programs/drivers. I havent try the Flip3D thing but overall wasnt very impressed.

Just a screen shot...

ooo... nice mar.. hope my lappie can support vista...

I think MS exegerate about Vista minimum requirement. As long as you have something like a ATI Radeon 9700/9800, with 512MB and a half decent processor like 1.5GHz (or above, except for P4).. it should be enough to do daily stuffs like checking emails, mp3s, chit chat messenger, etc. You can even disable some of the useless stuffs that does nothing but I dont have time to play around with it. I cant even connect with other PC using XP though I have the same workgroup. Weird. Haf to restart in XP liao... going to format soon...
