Title: How well will SSM2007 work on Vista?
Post by: Fearless on October 22, 2007, 10:41:20 PM
Ok, I've read the specs requirements but have one question.

How will it operate under Windows Vista?

Hi,

SSM2007 installs and runs on Windows Vista.  It performs on a par with Win XP - just as expected from this type of software.

Each one is free to decide what OS to use on his/her PC, so Vista is legal tender, just as WinXP, Linux etc. :)

We have been testing SSM2007 also with Vista and we like what we see.

Unfortunately, the new Computer that I've been given, has Vista pre-installed.

Specs:

Intel Core 2Duo Processor E6300 (1.86Ghz, 2MB L2 Cache,1066 MHz FSB, EM64T)
1GB PC2-4200/DDR2-533 RAM
250GB 7200 rpm SATA-3G HD
SuperMulti SATA Drive with Lightscribe Technology,Double Layer (8.5GB) DVD/CDROM
Integraded Intel High Definition Audio,7.1 Surround Sound.
NVidia GForce 7500LE - 256MB Graphics Card

I'm happy with that :)

MS recommends 2GB RAM for Vista, otherwise you will be trashing your HD.

:)

Read the FAQ, the news and the bottom part of the "Purchase" section (in BIG fonts) - it's been all over since we've launched the website on Sept 16th.

Best,

Hi, ddalton07!!

If you run a computer with Vista if you have 1 GB of RAM, the computer will run very slowly, and if you want to have a computer that runs Vista  very well you need to have at least 2 GB of RAM!

I'd like to go further into the question... will it work using 64-bit Vista?  I'm in the middle of building a desktop and want to overcome the 3GB limit imposed by the 32-bit OS.
