Hi I wanted to buy a new PC which will run Windows Vista very smoothly and also play games on it well enough. Can you please tell me if the following specs are good enough?
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 GHz 1 GB RAM 500 GB Hard Drive 256MB Ati Graphics card DVD RW
Has anyone tried vista on a spec like this, i want it to run very smoothly without lagging. Also should i wait for the core 2 quad to get cheaper or should i go for this.
Quad core wont make a difference to how Vista runs. Just get the C2D, they are all great chips and easily quick enough for Vista. If you want to game you will need a much better graphics card than that though.
Put 2GB of ram into the system and a better video card. Get a X1950 or 7900GT and you will be good to go if those are too rich for you then look at the X1650 and the 7600GT, or if you have lots of cash look at an 8800 to get DX10. You should also be aware that midrange and low-end DX10 parts are on there way so if you hold off a month you can probably get one of those. The CPU is fine dual core will be fine for quite some time, we have yet to see any games that require it.Â
