Minimum requirement for vista

Check this link:

*www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/upgradeadvisor/default.mspx

u will find an option to download an application called windows vista upgrade advisor, u can download it n install it on your pc. It will give you detailed info of which components are vista ready and which are not on your pc

It depends on wat version of Vista ur planning to run.Dont fall for the minimum requirements posted by Microsoft,its crap.U'll need a more powerfull pc dan that to run Vista.

they say 256 mb is enough to run vista without AERO
now who is leaving XP & going to 2000??

Who says 256 MB is enough to run Vista without AERO. Microsoft a made it clear that 512 MB of RAM is the bare minimum for running Vista without AERO branded as Vista capable and 1024 MB for running Vista with all the frills branded as Vista Premium.

1 gb is needed for smooth operation of vista with aero.......more ram the better

1 GB ram!!!!!!!!!! Mic#@# S#@$#

yes man 1GB is the minimum requirement for the smooth operation of the vista.Even my 512MB RAM could not operate smoothly with the beta version of vista

I don't know how but Vista is running without Aero on my PC with config.

P - 4 (1.7 GHz)
256 MB RAM
40 GB HDD (7200 rpm)

Den ur a 1 in a million n2casey,cuz Vista doesnt even start to install in PCs having 256MB of Ram.

Isn't there a sticky in the software troubleshooting section(now closed)?

No, friend 1Gb ram is not enough for running Vista if you don't have a somewhat better graphic card. I have D101GGC which have ATi X200 onboard graphic card. But when i run any movie in VLC player vista will automatically apply basic Aero theme from the AERO and when VLC closed, back to AERO.
