    Minimum Requirements:

    Microsoft's new vista site lists the basic specs as a modern processor (at least 800 MHz), 512MB of system memory, and a Direct X 9-capable graphics processor. To be "Premium Ready" a PC needs a 1-GHz processor, 1GB of system memory, a GPU with 128MB of memory (plus a few other qualifications), a 40GB hard drive with 15GBs free, a DVD-ROM drive, audio output support, and Internet access.


    Now, for those wanting to check if their system can handle the vista upgrade, ms has a simple tool that dl, run, it checks your system and then tells you if you can do they upgrade. Here's the link:

    its always good to have way more than the minimum requirements to get the full effect of this..personally..i have no intention of going to vista for a long time...i only got the first beta version from a collectors point of view...
