Hello guys what do you think is the system requirements for the upcoming windows 8 OS? do you think it can be run from a low end pc ? mid end pc or high end only? i need this for a survey please reply
Windows 8 is released in 2012 and has already made a hard sell in the Operating System (OS) market, as well as to PC users.
At the last Consumer Electronics Show in 2011 in Las Vegas, Microsoft has announced that it would consist added support for system-on-a-chip (SoC) and mobile ARM processors in Windows 8, or as Steve Ballmer loves to call it Windows Next.
Windows 8 is referred to by the Microsoft Executives as a reimagining of Windows particularly from its chip to the interface.
So we can say that Windows 8-based computers are in actuality an innovative sort of device, the one that weighs from touch only small screens as well as two large screens, with or without a the use of a keyboard and mouse.
Due to Microsoft hard learned experience from Windows Vista, Microsoft has assured the users that the new upcoming Windows 8 OS will not require or need users to buy a new PC.
So Windows 8 will be able to run on a wide range of machines (low, mid, high end ) because it will have the same system requirements or lower as Windows 7.
The most promising attribute of Windows 8 is that it has been designed and manufactured by such aptitude that Windows 8 to adapt the UI based on what the hardware user has.
So as a user whether you are advancing or buying a new PC, you don’t need to fret Windows 8 will become accustomed itself for your hardware.
Windows 8 System Requirements –
Motherboard – Asus P5GC-MX Intel 945 chipset
Processor – Intel Dual Core
RAM – 2 GB @ 1333 MHz
Hard drive – 250 GB
Optical Drive – 20x DVD Writer
I suggest that you go on checking updates on Microsoft official website to get more details when Windows 8 will be released in the market.
Thats a very nice question right there, Jame_michaels. Windows 8 although not fully released needs a high hard disk memory of about 16Gb or more to store the programs and a RAM of 1GB.
It will also need a processor of at least a minimum of 1GHz for processing the great speed it has, otherwise it will be very slow.
Direct X9 graphics will also be very important since it has extremely high graphics. Since these requirements are not very different from Windows 7, you may upgrade a laptop running on Windows 7.
You will however require a high end pc since a low end will have many complications due to not being able to fully support the Windows program.
It may even crash! So you need to make sure you have a high end pc in order to run this windows program. Thanks, hope this helps
