Integral memory test under Windows Vista

Windows Vista, which will be available from January 30, has encouraged some users to expand and upgrade their computers, as not only DX9 VGA but at least 1 GB of memory is recommended to run the new operating system at the right speed.

As we know, Windows Vista runs on a computer with 512 MB of memory, but it actually requires 1 gigabyte of RAM for basic office and home use, but an Integral study concluded that a minimum of 2 GB of memory is required for more advanced graphics and computing tasks. to run programs at the right speed.

Probably not new to most of our readers, on computers with 512 MB of RAM, Vista only runs in so-called Basic mode, making many of the operating system's new features, including the highly spectacular Areo Glass interface, unavailable. We can safely say that a Windows Vista Premium Ready PC has at least 1 GB of RAM.

Integral memory test under Windows Vista

Integral tests show that a computer running Windows Vista with 512 MB of memory performs alarmingly poorly, with long latencies between starting and loading programs. However, as soon as the test configuration memory was doubled, a dramatic increase in performance occurred. Programs started faster and “idle times” were reduced. The Vista operating system has finally shown its repository of visual display effects.

The test environment:

  • PC: Hewlett Packard Desktop PC DC7600C
  • CPU: Intel Pentium D
  • HDD: 160 GB
  • RAM: 512 MB or 1 GB DDR2-533 MHz
