What's the lowest spec you ( no Micrsoft ) think Vista can run on.

Probably need to install on a project machine which are very low spec.

You will need at least 512MB of RAM.

Any Celeron or Duron or Pentium III\IV

Any reasonable graphics card

It kind of runs okish on a p3-800 with 512mb of ram and a Geforce 3 with all the gubbins turned to low.

I'm currently using it on a P4-3.2 dual core with 2048Mb of RAM and an ATI Radeon 1600 with 256Mb of RAM with all the stuff turned on and it's kind of sh1te. MacOS X is much less clunky.

this could be the stumbler, can the flash graphics be turned off so this is not required. If not I am assuming support for Direct 9 or greater.

BUT, it will run like a dog and you will be

thats OK if customer is paying for the time.

[DimPrawn]

You can turn the 3d graphics off and any video card that supports at least 800 x 600 will do.


Why don't you buy a PC for the job?

Machine is to be on customer site and they only allow their own kit there!
