Do you know if your system will be able to run the upcoming Microsoft operating system Windows Vista ? The minimum requirements are a cpu with at least 800 MHz, 512 MB of Ram and a DirectX 9 capable graphics processor. The requirements for the full Vista experience look like one for a modern computer game: 1Ghz Cpu, 1Gb of Ram, 128 Mb graphics adapter with Pixel Shader 2.0 support and a 40Gb hard drive with 15 Gb free space.
The test helps those people who are not sure if their system will be able to run Windows Vista, you can download the Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor application from the official Vista website at microsoft.com. Make sure you plugin all external or optional hardware before you run the test.
