Windows Vista home edition proved to be crippleware to get you to get the premium edition. So here are the hardware reqs for the premium:
  • 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1 GB of system memory
  • 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics
    • WDDM Driver
    • 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
    • Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
    • 32 bits per pixel
I imagine it would really crawl at 1 GHz 32 bit. I had troubles with Win98 with less than 1.5 GHz. I never imagined that anyone would try Vista without a 64 bit processor.
