AMAP, but you might get a more specific answer posting to the Vista
newsgroup microsoft.public.windows.vista.
 
Not sure that "Official" specifications are posted. Vista will operate in
several
different video rendering modes, based on available hardware. If you are a
gamer or want the full AeroGlass effects you'll need a non-embedded Video
such as a PCI Express or recent AGP. I would think a 128-Megabyte VRAM
would meet most of Vista's requirements. However, I've recently deployed
some of the newer video cards that have 512 on-board and believe ATI now
has a card with 1-Gigabyte of VRAM. Drivers are big factor in Vista's
video performance, but I suspect that both nVidia and ATI will fully support


it once it is released. "Cymbal Man Freq." <Don't

Since Windows Vista is NOT yet released. Please ask the Author of such
for advice.
