So you think that you're ready for VISTA with that old Laptop of yours? I mean, you've run Windows 98, 2000, and WinXP (sort of) OK so far right? Well, you might want to check again. Read on!
"You know something is wrong when you have to buy a new laptop just to run an operating system. The hardware specs for Windows Vista is so high that many older laptops won't be powerful enough to run the new Microsoft OS when it becomes available this summer. Those of us in the market for a new laptop right now will want one that will allow us to upgrade to Vista later on. The question, how powerful a laptop do you need? Well, we're going to tell you. One of the coolest feature of the Vista is the new user interface call Aero. Windows Vista is the first Windows operating system that has a user experience that can scale to the hardware capabilities of the computer it is installed on. All computers that meet minimal hardware requirements will see the Windows Vista Basic user experience. However, in order to get the Aero experience, your new laptop is going to need a graphic card that supports WDDM (Windows Display Driver Mode) and have a minimum of 64MB of video memory."
