Last I checked vista didn't require anything THAT powerful. Just something pretty mid range. Going that far would likely be overkill. Or the acts of polobunny wanting 6 billion FPS from a game that was released 5 minutes ago. :wacko:Quote:

Vista is going to be non updated 98. *ding!* *begins fighting panda*

Toss in some pretty shifty "safety features" and suddenly the whole thing just seems kinda lame.
I'm starting up the Vista Support Fund, and am accepting donations now.
This fund is being setup so that I can make sure that everyone can have enough ram to run Vista properly. If you'd like to make a donation, please send a check or money order to:

I didn't specify specs or anythingm just said new cards will go between 150-600. A good card can be had for 200. 150 if you all you do is emulate an N64. Unless you ebay it. Or if you want some uber old stuff you could go sub 100 but there is no point, just shell out the extra moneyz. Polo is noob :PQuote:

This is semi-true, not totally.Quote:

3GHZ Intel Pentium 4, 1GB DDR2 @ 533MHZ, 128MB Ati Radeon 9250. Will Vista run on this?
Yes.Quote:

Vista ran perfectly smooth (maybe a hiccup here or there)
but aren't those pretty much the minimal specs for vista?
Good. I might get it. In a few years time...Quote:

(It's a lot better power wise than Mikey's...P4+1GB RAM, not a Celeron D and 512mb) Although his gfx card poops on mine.
I think it would. Ray says it's something that Microsoft had in mind, to mess with people who download using that or similar methods. So I don't think the most powerful setup in the world will get around that. :PQuote:
