Windows Vista
Microsoft has finally released the hardware specs for its new OS (windows vista). When I read through these specs I was actually confused to see such high system requirements. I'm pretty sure it rivals what is needed for Doom 3 or HL2.
-First a "Modern" CPU, which means a P4 or AMD Althlon 64,sempron,FX or X2.
-512 Megs of RAM (minimum)!
-DirectX 9-class Graphics Card (64 MB for the minimum rez(800x600) 128 MB for 1280x1024 and 256 for hig-rez or widescreen modes.
Now I could be wrong but...why would an OS need system specs that high? I don't want my OS chewing on my system or using all my resources when I want to play a game or compile my openGL code. GG...
