Probably it will be easier to be part of the Vista beta in Beta 2 (or you can go for the CPP (customer preview program). Vista is working fine for me, and my sound card was a Creative SoundBlaster (I just changed PC, so I'm selling this sound card...) which worked on Vista. Yes, Nero is supported on Vista. If possible, direct all your Vista issues to the official NG (if you got it from MSDN, post your issues in the public NG at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=42486 |

You guys are missing the point. Most of the system requirements that they suggested is needed if you are going to run the Aero Glass theme (you know, the transparancy theme?). For slower machines, just disable all the fancy fancy things that Windows gives, and your machine should be good to go.
But yes, the RAM needs to be 512MB, although I have seen 256MB machines run fine with Vista.

Latest build of 5270 has smaller icons.
Vista should have default drivers included for Geforce 4 mx 440. But you will not be able to have the transparancy efffect (no LDDM driver for Geforce 4)

By default, Vista will be using Aero theme. However some users will opt to continue using the classic theme as they wouldn't want to relearn the new interface (usually in corporate environment, where classic theme is used to minimize support calls).

It's 8.5 GB after installing MSN Messenger and MS Office. However there's lots of unneeded files installled in these beta software. Hopefully it will not take up so much space when Vista goes RTM.

QUOTE(Gasjatt @ Nov 23 2006, 12:56 PM) 9GB only?!?! Then why on earth does Microsoft say Vista needs 40GB of free space. And what's the additional 15GB for? Why don't they just state 55GB instead.... How much partition space do i actually need for just installing Vista Ultimate and programs? If MS says that Vista only needs 9GB, then where are you going to have the pagefile (virtual memory) and system files/common files installed to? Temp files? Where are they going to be? |

QUOTE(dualshock @ Nov 22 2006, 03:22 PM) anyway, i must say this build 6000 still has a lot prog compatibility to sort out. i hope at the final official release, there will be more driver available (eg. Razer coppehead's synapse driver) and better prog compatibility (eg. Nero) Nah MS wont be adding new drivers or changing anything in the files. It has RTMed means no more changes will be done. |
