March 2007's topic : Vista

This months topic is Windows Vista, a brand-new OS from Microsoft; is has had many criticisms, but if you ask me; its just what the doctor ordered. Heres what I recommend for your computer for the hardware in your rig:

Vista * any edition *

- a 2Ghz or faster processor
- 1 gigabyte of ram
- an HDCP compatible graphics card
- 17" or larger moniter
- Broadband (theres no point in having Vista if you use dial-up)

The rig I run running now, is fairly top-of-the-line, but thats only because I also use its as Media Center, so the computer pretty much needs to be top-notch for its HDCP-ness, other than that, if your not using Vista for gaming nor as a Media Center; its best you just stick with XP.
