Tim Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Just wondering if my computer can handle Vista 32Bit or stick to 'ol XP (Of which im sick of). Running 2 HDD's both 40GB, One for OS the other for Data storage + 160GB Portable.Radeon 9200 Graphics CardPentium 4, 2.4GHz Processor768Mb RAM (Yes thats an odd number because for some reason my motherboard only supports SD/DDR1) The only issue I have is the RAM factor since finding DDR1/SD is a freaking nightmare and for SOME REASON the designer of this made it 2000$ (8 years ago) when the RAM was already going outdated then.

Tim Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 [bleep]. Guess I'll need to track down 512Mb of RAM, if I can. costs a fortune for SD for some stupid reason.and a bigger HDD, but that isnt much. Popoto.~<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Personally I wouldn't run Vista with under 2GB of RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Why not just get windows 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Why not get a new motherboard? SD/DDR1 RAM is going to be really expensive, it might be cheaper in the long run. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Personally I wouldn't run Vista with under 2GB of RAM.Agreed. I don't think you'll be happy with the outcome, even if you do upgrade the RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Main problem is I dont have my own computer (Which is just sad at 19) so im forced to use a family one that slowly keeps dieing until it implodes into a vortex of doom and cupcakes.

I'm sure they'd appreciate it as well. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimsonsmash Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Whatever you do don't go to Vista. Windows 7 actually runs better on lower end/older hardware than Vista does, and its better. I say get it up to 2GB of RAM and then look into upgrading the OS. I have personally had the Beta and RTM versions of Windows 7 running quite nicely on a similar machine, in both age and components, so I'm confident that it should work for you as well.
