• 800MHz processor
• DirectX 9-capable graphics processor, and
• Minimum 512MB of memory

Although Microsoft recommends a minimum of 512mb of RAM for the Vista OS, we recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM to ensure you have the ability to utilize the full potential of Vista and all your computer programs. The minimum required memory to run Windows Vista only considers the required amount of RAM to run the operating system. Having only the minimum memory required will be a cause of frustration because of slow computer and application boot times, inability to efficiently run multiple programs at one time, and slow game performance. Because of this EDGE recommends installing a minimum of 1GB of memory. This additional memory will allow you to have enough memory to run programs designed to leverage the power of Vista and multi-task with multiple programs running at the same time.

Are you considering an upgrade to the latest operating system from Microsoft? The Windows Vista Operating System is the most highly anticipated software upgrade of its kind since Windows 95 revolutionized the way we interface with computers.

Windows Vista is designed to make you more productive through an improved user interface and the latest tools like Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Photo Gallery, and more secure with additional security features to protect your business & family information.

To educate the public on the requirements of powering a Vista computer, Microsoft has partnered with many of the leading computer manufacturers to label new computers the "Windows Vista Capable PC" logo that have at least an 800MHz Processor, a DirectX 9 capable graphics processor, and a minimum of 512mb of memory.
