When reviewing Vista requirements I put this together. In the SMS console create 2 new reports and copy these in. Next create a dash board using both reports. Now you can see total minimum and total premier. Obviously the premier machines meet the minimum requirements. I made a minimum to see what computers can run Vista (no Aero) [Vista Minimum] and those that would do very well [Vista Premier]
I tried to grab all the video cards, video ram, desktop ram. Granted this is no subsitute for the Vista, are you ready, software. But it atleast gives us a sign.
Premier Ram is set to 1.5GB though we are looking at 2GB but it should be enough to have a good performance. Modify as you like.
