ken_cinder Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=30128 What that story doesn't tell you, is that the 800MB is Pagefile use ONLY! Anyone with some brains can see that it's also eating roughly 400MB of physical RAM! Added note, it also requires roughly 7GB of hard drive space!?!? Uber ultimate bloatware supreme! I'm sticking to my guns, no more Windows for me........ever. Linux HO!!!
Diso Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Damn. that much requirements just for Vista..? Ugh. Wonder why Vista requires that much just to run..

Lucandrake Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) 10 gb? I talked to my friend who is in Beta2. He says that the article aint lieing. He went to go eat and his computer can barely handle it with 1gb of ram..... 10gb of space I think.. Edited March 10, 2006 by Drake
Robert Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 XP doesn't HAVE to take much room, we run it on small computers here at work and it's only 200mb of disk space.
ken_cinder Posted March 10, 2006 Author Posted March 10, 2006 My XP installation is only 1.3GB, I don't know how you could possibly have one over 3GB. Mine is including probably a couple hundred MB of stuff in system folders thats been added by aftermarket software and such.
Weirdy Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 (edited) Speaking of xp, I wish I had an installation disk. That way I would be able to rip it onto an image, and then run that one patch which allows you to remove certain things (including Alexa keys!) then install. Edited March 10, 2006 by Weirdy
Prican25 Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 i had a guy i spoke with on efnet that mentioned that the latest vista 64bit beta needed at least 12gb of space i find that crazy and now with the pagefile jeez. i'll stick to xp
Shibathedog Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 WOW no wonder it was running so slow on my PC It was taking a long time just to flip through windows and stuff, they are REALLY going to have to tone that down because, if i where to make an OS, i would at least want it to be able to run on those "starter PCs" That they sell, and those usually feature between 256-512MB of RAM, and thats what most people buy because its affordable.
