Re: 64-bit: More than just the RAM

You can run Vista on older hardware in most cases. Will it be optimized to run on your hardware? That is the question. What features in Vista are not supported by older hardware. DX10 needs a new video card. Slower CPU and RAM will not allow Vista to run fast because it needs better resources.

My Buick LuCerne has a Northstar V8 from Cadillac. I can run 87 octane in it. I lose 20% performance over 93-95 octane. Samething with running Vista on older hardware.
