I want to purchase and install G4.5 on my laptop which is running vista. However, I'm concern G4.5 may not work with my graphics card which meets minimum requirements or if it does work, performance may be too sluggish.
Below are specs for my laptop.
If you own a laptop running " Vista " and you have G4.5 currently installed and running, please post:
1) " your comments about G4.5"
2) pc specs
3) vista ratings
Similar to what i've done below so others can get an idea on how well G4.5 works with Vista and determine whether or not it may work on their system:
To gathter system information about your system:
Click on Start;
In search box, type one of following commands and pop-up window with system info will be displayed
1) dxdiag ( click on system tab & display tab )
2) msinfo32
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Provide something similar to that below:
