Perceived System Requirements For Threshold
Hi Folks:
I know it's speculative at this point, but I'm curious as to what system requirements (or even what virtualization requirements) will be needed for the Nine preview. I currently run Vista x64 on a Dual Xeon 3.68 GHz HP workstation, and I find that I am unable to get Windows 8.1 hosted successfully (I thought I'd try it first to see if this endeavour was even in the cards).
I now know that x64 guests are completely out. That concerns me because I remember at one time hearing that Windows 8x was going to be the last time a 32-bit release was offered. I wonder if at least for the preview, Microsoft will offer a 32-bit build?
Like I said on the 8x Forums, I would love to find a "junker" PC just to try out stuff with, but today's OS offerings won't even get off the ground on a "junker" PC.
