PrintableSpookymuffin said: eraclito said: yes agreed, apart from the ram you also need a powerful graphics card. Not really. Whilst Vista can run on 1GB, for optimum performance you ideally need 2gb of RAM which is basically standard in all mid-end PCs you can buy today, so that's no concern. As for graphics card, Vista's new 3D interface can run on 64mb cards (see vista on macbooks) but you probably want 128mb - most cards these days in the low-end range are 128mb. oh okay, i thought it needed something like 256mb graphics card minimum.. that's cool are you ready for submission

I built it myself it's alot of fun.Cool! So you actually shaped the metal casing and formed the plastic for the monitor? Or you mean you bought the parts and put them in their clearly marked pre-designated slots? | |

Alls I know is, it won't even start up until I pour some rice whiskey in the flippy disc slot and give it a good kick.

I didn't actually mean to type 'flippy', but I'm kinda glad I did. It works.
And thank you, yes the kitten is very cute. If ever I change it, people demand I put it back. | |

Nah, thanks, I'll just humbly accept that I don't know what I'm talking about, if that's ok. | |
