are these specs for a new computer good enough to run the vista ultimate version?

i have about the same spec and i been running ultimate for 2 month its working fine. with dreamscene activate the desktop eat up 900MB RAM and 40% usage on 1 CPU 15% on other. my was overclock duo 2 core 3.5 GHZ so it work fine and smooth but thats kind of 30% of my system resource already just running side bar + dreamscene..... my graphic card is 7900GT KO and i notice game still smooth under vista but loading time increase under vista.

Yes you are fine; alas I think that you will have problems with the Raid subsystem. Check raid drivers first for vista from the motherboard or controller vendor. Try the motherboard website.

Your system will work with the 64 bit or the 32 bit versions (that's very cool) and the bottleneck for your system will be the 533MHz memory (800 is better, but the 533 will not be a show stopper). Vista will like your video card a lot.

You could run it...your specs are for sure enough. but my question to you is...why? if you have XP. i dont see the point in upgrading. especially before the release of SP1 for Vista. you KNOW there will be problems, just like all the other windows releases...i would at least wait for SP1 to come out...Just my opinion.

yes thats fine however i would reccomend a processor with a 4mb cache but that is fine what you have there.

who is it made by if its Dell i would touch them with a 10ft barge poll or packard bell.

otherwise thats fine yes it will run vista ultimate.

I would say yes, that would be fine for Vista Ultimate, and the Aero display.

This link has the system requirements listed for Vista Ultimate. Just click "System Requirements" to get to the info.

WOW that's a very handsome system you got. It's more than plenty! You could have that computer for a long life.

They should be but you can verify that by going to the Microsoft site and looking at the specs they recommend.

your specs are fine, the recomendation is about 1 GB of ram, and to have 256MB of graphic card ram.

Without flinching.
