Vista Minimum Requirements Unrealistic?
An independent hardware analyst firm has stated that they feel the minimum requirements of Vista are somewhat low. They believe that to be able to use the Operating System, you had better have numbers much higher than the 800mhz stated.
A much more realistic expectation, states the white paper, entitled "Sorting Out the Requirements for Windows Vista" (downloadable through registration), is for consumers to plan for either a 3 GHz single-core CPU or a 2 GHz dual-core CPU for their desktop systems. A 1.5 GHz processor may be suitable for notebooks. Windows XP can get by with much less.
