    Mildly interesting bit of additional info on hardware requirements for running the upcoming Vista with the Aero interface. Apparently not only do you need decent dedicated graphics to run it well, but memory bandwidth of 1.800MB per second too.

    Mods: Not 100% sure this is where this should go, but since it has to do with hardware I stuck it here. Please move if you feel necessary.

    Weak...**** Microsoft :rolleyes: . Well im sure someone im my family will be buying a computer around that time so hopefully Ill get a Vista CD.
    Microsoft is really pushing Vista with all the different versions, all the checking, the delay till 2007, system hogging, aero theme...its a mess atm...

    They are practically making everyone who wants to switch to Vista to upgrade to a new computer...
