I've heard the minimum specs are something like 1GB of RAM and a 128MB vid card...MINIMUM.
Hooray for OS's driving hardware development!

Those specs are if you want to run the pretty Aero interface blah blah blah. You can get by with 512mb of RAM and a somewhat decent processor. (According to our Microsoft Rep at work). My computer is ready because I have quad hampsters, the external handcrank, and my 14 inch monochrome TV hooked up. Oh, and the modem box thingy. :p
But yeah, as far as prices, I haven't heard exactly how much each version is. Good question to ask the rep the next time he comes in.

You have a Microsoft rep? How do you keep from locking him in the supply closet and torturing him?

That thought never crossed my mind! hmmm......maybe score some free copies of Windows or something! haha Nah, he's pretty cool. He's about the only real rep that comes into the store with any information for us.
