Question on Vista · DIGIT-ARC

M

Guys
I wanted to clear my doubt about Vista . Since Vista will require A graphics card for its display , it will consume some of the memory of the Card and when we will play games on Vista , the memory allocated o the games will be less and hence the gaming performance can suffer . Just give your comment on the statements.

nuthing of the sort
its just that ull need a higher config to run vista properly
there will be an option to run it in minimal mode ofcourse
and games are gettin more resource hungry
but its not that gamin will suffer BECAUSE of vista

B
