System Software
Your computer may already come with system software pre-installed. Where this is
not the case, or where you are re-configuring your computer for a different system,
you will find the Windows Vista (with Service Pack 1) operating system is support-
ed.
Note: In order to run Windows Vista without limitations or decreased performance,
your computer requires a minimum 1GB of system memory (RAM).
RAID & AHCI Setup
Note that setting up a RAID, or AHCI mode, needs to be done prior to installing the
Windows OS (see
“Setting Up SATA RAID or AHCI Modes” on page 7 - 2
TV Tuner Module
Support
Note that the TV Tuner
module (factory) option
in Windows Vista is
supported by the Win-
dows Media Center
software which comes
built-in to the Windows
Vista Home Premium
and Ultimate Editions
only.
If your purchase in-
cludes a TV Tuner op-
tion, and you are re-
configuring your system
for a different system,
you should install either
Windows Home Premi-
um or Ultimate Edi-
tions only.
Windows Vista Service Pack 1
Make sure you install Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (or a Windows Vista version which
includes Service Pack 1) before installing any drivers. Go to the Microsoft website for
download details, or contact your service center.
