vista cost & requirements

[TheLetterD]

Hi ppl need ur help<again>

wanted to ask wats the lowest price for vist 64bit.how much maximum ram 32bit vista support.
& is ti true that u need more ram to play games than xp in vista?if yes how much extra fr far cry 1 & 2 Both!! urgent pls pls pls pls pls help!!!!!!!!!!:rolle yes:

[Psychosocial]

hmm....so many smileys ? chal thik hain

Vista Ultimate 32 bits costs 12k and 64 bit around 17k

32 Bit recognizes upto 3.5GB.

You dont NEED more RAM but its recommanded coz Vista eats more RAM then XP.

^He is New here.
Vista Ultimate x64 costs Rs 17,100/- Approx (excluding taxes)
You will NEED More RAM than XP when running Newer Games and some little bit old ones Like Crysis,Gears of War.

[pillainp]

Vista will run beautifully on 2GB of RAM. You can install 4GB (as I have myself, and why the heck not, with RAM getting cheaper every day) on 32-bit, but it will only report up to 3.5GB except in system properties.

Please do not blindly subscribe to the myth that Vista uses more RAM. Read up on the issue, such as this article (http://www.tweakguides.com/VA_1.html), perhaps even use the guide he refers to, and I can guarantee you will have an absolutely wonderful experience with Vista.

No need to pay 17k for Vista ultimate x64 when it really doesn't have much advantage.

Get Vista Home Premium for 5k and the only difference between this and Ultimate is few useless goodies like Ultimate extras which we never use.

[The Conqueror]

+1 For Vista Home Premium.

[Psychosocial]

Ultimate is sh1t. Useless.

Home Premium has almost all the features which Ultimate has .

+1 for Home Premium

[The Conqueror]

Yeah just for 3 extras (There are lots of better alternatives for dreamscene),There is no need to spend so much.

[desiibond]

yep. There are third party s/w's available for whatever features home premium miss over ultimate and guess what, they are free (and some paid)

[TheLetterD]

Utter waste of money. Instead of saving money, you will lost money by purchasing that crap a.k.a **** a.k.a b(f)ullshit.

If you want Vista, get atleast Vista home premium O.E.M which costs around 5k.

Not a wise decison at all.

[thewisecrab]

Oh o Big mistake
If you are that desperate to run Vista, Home Premium is most recommended.
starter is the severely crippled version of Vista
Dont do it

[TheLetterD]

others r out of my budget, xp not available now,no choice.tell me wat ready boost does sum say it increases ram<in vista so 1gb pendrive=512mb ram+ approx> & will it work in vista.ill upgrade vista to sp1 so would it still be a waste of money?<remember i dnt wnt vista interface>btw is it a waste of money?security?

[ThinkFree]

^^Ready boost will increase speed a bit, but 512mb of readyboost memory can't match the speed of 512mb ram. Also you need a high speed pendrive, which are expensive as compared to general ones. It will worn out very quickly if used with ready boost. So better upgrade your RAM rather than relying on ReadBoost feature. Yes, the option you have selected is wastage of money.

[Psychosocial]

AFAIK, Vista Starter Edition dosent have the ReadyBoost feature. Am I right

[desiibond]

Vista starter edition does not have anything

not even the aero

It's piece of junk.

Now that you've learnt about the cost of running various version of Microsoft Windows Vista, have you ever thought of trying Linux? It's free to try you know, not to mention free to keep. If you have doubts about installing it with your current version of Windows see this thread, you can have both
Installing Linux, a dual boot system with Windows and Linux

[chesss]

[Psychosocial]

^^I use p1r@t3d Windows Vista Ultimate 32Bits SP1 and I can download automatic updates, install and update software from M$'s official site,etc.

No irritating messages .

@chess: You have been on this forum long enough to know that we do not support piracy. Consider this a warning.

@all: Can we please be on topic now?

[narangz]

For normal home usage Windows Vista Home Premium is the best choice. You need atleast 512 MB of RAM. For playing games consider atleast 2 GB of RAM.

Your graphics card must be able to support Aero to run the Aero effects.

Nor do I support piracy
I am merely suggesting him to pirate, so that when he eventually gets pirated vista which lacks features like manual activation and good-looking notification popups he will automatically find out how pirated software takes the 'fun' out of software.
