Will My Computer Run Vista?

November 12th, 2006

Many, many people will soon be asking this question:

Will my computer run vista?

“Yes” is the likely answer no matter who you are.  Basic vista will run on most XP hardware.  You’ll get many of the security enhancements at current XP speeds.  However, the real question should be…

Will my computer run vista well?

To use many of the new features available on vista, you will need a more powerful system than a basic XP system.  Vista’s new glass effects require a kicking video card.  With the new graphic-intensive interface, programs in vista will need more hardware to run at current XP-speeds.

So to find out if you computer will run vista with all of its new eye-candy features enabled, you should visit the Windows Upgrade Advisor.  This program will tell you which version of vista your current system will be able to run effectively.  With vista coming out soon, check out your hardware first.

    i think many people are being misinformed about how good a video card you will need, any system that people use to play games will be ready and a video card that will handle vista will cost £20 and most systems will be ready now. only if your pc is 5 years old and never been upgraded will you have to think about change. remember vista is still mainly 2d most video cards from the last 4 years handle 3d which is much more demanding!
