How does Windows Vista run on legacy systems – Dell OptiPlexTM GX260s, GX270s, GX280s and GX620s? Will Windows Vista operate on these if the systems are upgraded to 1-2GB of RAM?
Dell systems must be configured with a minimum of 512MB system memory (RAM) in order to provide the basic Windows Vista experience. Systems which ship with only 512MB RAM will not support the Aero interface. Select entry-level, economical Dell systems may not run Aero, no matter the configuration. Aero and other premium benefits are not available with Windows Vista Home Basic edition. However, they can be found in the Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate and Enterprise editions.
