Microsofts web site for Vista claims that minimum available RAM must be 512 to operate only primary parts of the OS. They also claim on the same page that 1 G of system RAM is recommended and incinuate that more may be necessary to use the OS at peak performance. Nowhere on the site does it say that 512 is rediculous, they do in fact list it as, once again, a MINIMUM. Please remember that Doom 3 can be thought of as at current gen. (graphics programming was done prior to August of 2004) and the Vista OS being next gen, I guarantee you will have MUCH greater hardware requirements that of DOOM 3 or for that matter XP, which barely runs effectively with 512. And dont count on it being any cheaper than current XP Pro costs. |
