tandm Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Check out the system requirements to run Longhorn "Microsoft is expected to recommend that the "average" Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today." http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,1995,1581842,00.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stvbreal Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Good lord. That's one hell of a system req. list. I wonder what a complete system would cost with the OS? Staggering I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Guess it just goes to show that programmers got lazy over the years. When I started in programming like 12+ years ago programmers still tried to streamline there code to run faster. Now its see how much useless shit we can throw in to slow it down. I guess its like the ricers and stickers. Try and make the car so heavy that it dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD >ShiTell +1010232432542 Funny that my AMD 2500 runs so much faster than my cousins P4 3.2ghz. And cost twice as less.... Out of all the PC's I've built with AMD's, not one has burned up (except from a DOA mobo..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
