Windows Vista spec is unrealistic
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007
Microsoft’s official minimum spec for Windows Vista "really isn’t realistic”, according to David Short, an IBM consultant who works
in its company’s Global Services Division. Microsoft says PCs with just 512MB of RAM can accommodate Vista, but Short says users should consider 4GB of RAM if they really want optimum Vista performance. With 512MB of RAM, Vista will deliver performance that’s "sub-XP," he warned.
Short has been beta testing Vista for two years and was at the IBM-oriented Share user group conference Florida last week discussing some of Vista’s performance requirements. His XP system has 2GB of RAM, which he calls the "sweet spot" for that operating system, but on Vista, 4GB of RAM may be closer to its "Nirvana”, he said.
