隨著微軟每月一個(gè)CTP版本的正式發(fā)布，Windows Vista距離用戶的日子也越來越近，據(jù)最新的消息披露說，這個(gè)下一代的操作系統(tǒng)將在今年的11月份正式發(fā)布，最遲不超過圣誕節(jié)。在歡欣鼓舞的同時(shí)，也許有一個(gè)重大的問題需要你作出決定，自己的機(jī)子是否能夠?qū)indows Vista請(qǐng)回家呢？
前不久，微軟聯(lián)合英特爾、AMD、ATi、nVIDIA首次公布了Windows Vista對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)硬件的最低配置要求，我們不妨來了解一下，看看自己的愛機(jī)是否能夠滿足下一代操作系統(tǒng)的要求：
處理器：800MHz，推薦1GHz，建議使用雙核心處理器和64位處理器。
物理內(nèi)存：最小容量為512MB，推薦1GB。
物理硬盤：7200rpm的SATA或EIDE硬盤，至少擁有2MB緩存，雖然沒有容量方面的具體要求，但建議最小容量是40GB，而其中的可用空間必須不小于15GB。
圖形顯示卡：必須支持WDDM(Windows Display Driver Moder)驅(qū)動(dòng)程序，支持DirectX 9、最小64MB顯存，推薦128MB顯存，而且要求使用獨(dú)立顯卡，畢竟Vista Aero的圖形界面對(duì)顯卡的要求是相當(dāng)?shù)母摺?/P>
網(wǎng)卡：必須具備支持100Mb的網(wǎng)卡，如果是筆記本電腦，那么推薦支持802.11g無線網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
光存儲(chǔ)設(shè)備：必須是DVD驅(qū)動(dòng)器
從這份僅僅是最低配置的清單來看，Windows Vista對(duì)硬件的要求將十分苛刻，即使是Pentium 4、Celeron D這樣的處理器，也只能淪落為入門級(jí)的處理器行列。當(dāng)然，即使用戶的機(jī)子配置低于這一要求，也并不意味著無法安裝和運(yùn)行Windows Vista，只不過是某些主題和效果無法顯示出來而已，因此大多數(shù)用戶也無需過度擔(dān)心，更詳細(xì)的配置要求可以訪問其官方網(wǎng)站進(jìn)行查看。
