Default New pc vista premium capable ? urgent help please
Good evening,

Im having a few problkems and would really appreciated your help.

Ive just purchased a pc after reading on gateways website it is vista premium capable. Ive gone out and purchased the computer and upon arriving home i was about to unpack when i noticed it has a label on the box saying .... WINDOWS VISTA CAPABLE

Surely it should state Vista premium ready ?

Im not really well up on computers,so if anyone could please confirm if this computer will fully run vista premium id much appreciate it as i dont want to unpack it if not.


Microsoft say's:


A Windows Vista Premium Ready PC includes at least:
  • 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor1.
  • 1 GB of system memory.
  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)2, Pixel Shader 2.0 and 32 bits per pixel.
  • 40 GB of hard drive capacity with 15 GB free space.
  • DVD-ROM Drive3.
  • Audio output capability.
  • Internet access capability.

Welcome to the PCHF!

Vista is Vista...wether it's Premium...ultimate...home or enterprise...

The only real difference is some options aren't available...they will all work on a "Vista Capabale" pc
