Pirillo Queries Windows Vista Hardware Needs
More doubts about the hardware requirements for running Windows Vista have come from A-lister Chris Pirillo, says eweek. “Beta 1 seems to be working well enough, although I’m extremely disappointed in both Microsoft and NVIDIA for not delivering drivers that would enable me to experience [Vista’s Aero] Glass [user interface] in its full glory,” said Chris Pirillo, founder of Lockergnome.com and a frequent Microsoft beta tester. “Either 64MB ain’t enough video RAM, or NVIDIA is incapable of supporting this card with this beta [and possibly future releases]. Frustrating.”
It seems that Robert Scoble’s suggestion that 128MB might be needed comes closer to the mark. Scoble has since imposed a gag on himself against blogging about Vista.
“Pirillo said he is testing Beta 1 on a Toshiba Satellite 5105-S701 that originally shipped with XP Home Edition. The system sports an Intel Pentium 4 processor, 512 MB of RAM, and a 60GB hard drive. It also has a 15-inch display and an Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go graphics card with 64MB of video memory”, reports eweek, the online tech journal.
So far, Vista “doesn’t seem to be any faster than XP,” Pirillo said. “Maybe a little slower.”
