Meeting the Hardware Requirements

Abstract

There is no denying that Vista will not be installable on every PC platform that once supported a Windows operating system. Most of us are used to upgrading our PCs in one way or another, adding a chunk of memory here or a mass of disk space there to make sure new games or business applications work as required. Vista is no different. Many PCs will, quite simply, not be up to the task. Nevertheless, a lot of computer systems will be upgradeable; some of them might just need a new processor, graphics card, and motherboard BIOS upgrade. However, some older machines (systems that might have also suffered under the weight of Windows ME, for example) might be coming to the end of their natural lives, and in these cases, you’ll need to buy a new system if you want Vista.
